Trump runs a billionaire administration for billionaires for billionaires. Anyone who pays attention to the news can see it, but what’s less obvious in every policy decision is why some of these things are happening.
For example, Republicans have always complained about the Department of Education, so when political followers for a long time heard of Trump’s campaign to end the Department of Education, there were probably some ideas that they would go again.
2025 is different. Trump is more than just a Republican president. He is a Republican president, led by billionaires to raid the federal government and turn people’s resources into billionaires.
At a press conference Thursday, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) discussed why billionaires are targeting the Department of Education.

Senator Murphy said:
No one in America wants to destroy public education. The plan to eliminate the Ministry of Education is not very popular in the country. The question is, why are they doing it? Listen, I think Bernie’s point is really important, right?
Billionaires don’t need public schools. Billionaires don’t understand the magic that happens in public schools. Our government billionaires now send their children to the most elite private schools and can still get an education for them even if all public schools disappear in this country.
And it coincides with the whole way they are approaching this first six months of this administration. Billionaires don’t need Medicaid. For them, it doesn’t matter whether Medicaid disappears and the country hospitals disappear. As billionaires still get health care, clothing and addiction treatment centres close their doors.
They talk about Social Security being a Ponzi plan. They have closed Social Security agencies nationwide because they don’t need Social Security. They are billionaires. They don’t need the Social Security checks that millions of senior Americans do to put food on the table.
