“Sounds great to us!”

She had *concepts* of a degree in education. Seriously.
> She told the committee after she was nominated that she had gone to college with plans to become a teacher.

I had a dream…
He only surrounds himself with the best people.
Including his first term, Trump has made 37 total nominations to the official cabinet posts listed in the Constitution.
This is only the 5th woman he’s nominated. The number of women that are actually qualified that aren’t being considered is astonishing.
Waiting for her husband to be put in charge of the Fed. He does his weird walk to the podium and announces rate cuts.
It’s too bad Dolores Umbridge turned Trump down.
He loves choosing people who commit fraud
In 1987, Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential primary due to exaggerated and false statements made about his credentials.
In 2024, Linda McMahon accepts nomination as Secretary of Education despite lying about having an education degree.
It was a gimmicked degree. Her bio is kayfabe.
How much vetting did they do before he made the announcement?
Pretty soon Dr. Phil will be in charge of mental health and Dr. Strangelove will be in charge of the nuclear arsenal.
Wow
Well, the DOGE team is talking of eliminating the department of education anyway so she will be unemployed soon
She has a degree in educating you in a SMACK DOWN BROTHA!!!
What timeline are we in, remind me? 😓
>”These types of politically motivated attacks are the new normal for nominees ready to enact President Trump’s mandate for common sense that an overwhelming majority of Americans supported two weeks ago.”
No, hiring based on actual experience and ability to do the job has been the norm since… Forever. Amazing how they try to twist vetting candidates into some sort of bad faith action.
The deception & fraud:
*Not* a bug but a **feature**.
Republican playbook: have sex with minors and lie about every damn thing you can think of.
Eh, she had a teaching certification and a bachelor’s. This seems like the least of many reasons she shouldn’t be in the job.
“She also claimed that her husband did *not* take a dump on a woman and pretend to be Brock Lesnar during sex.”
This is what we’ve come to.
Melania lied about having an architecture degree so it’s just another trump lie.
American intellect to be led by a liar and a cheat. Rofl.
So this is her only connection with education? A school board nominee that didn’t even get elected…SERIOUSLY WTF!?!
This is also the same woman who resigned as the secretary of the small business administration.
How are Republicans not screaming out in horror? Oh yeah they don’t believe in education
Wasn’t there a story about a black woman going to jail because she lied about having a degree on her resume? If it’s illegal then Democrats can use this to their advantage too. Will they, though? Probably not. These people probably don’t even have a resume.
Good grief. He’s really going exclusively for liars and scammers at this point.
I tried explaining to a lot of people for a long time that it’s not just a Trump / Harris thing.
You vote for the administration too. And what we’re seeing is by far the stupidest list of people ever.
Embarrassing.
She is there to close it! Does not matter!!
“Attacks are the new normal for potential Trump appointees”
Uhhh… it’s not an attack if it’s true. It’s not an attack if there was an active senate investigation that was never concluded and the details of which are still being suppressed. Thats called a responsibility on the part of those asking the questions. Don’t be fooled. Seeking accountability for misdeeds is not equivalent to being unpatriotic. Loyalty to a politician has no place in a democracy either. We need to be scrutinizing all public officials regardless of political affiliation.
We are so fucked it isn’t funny
Trump’s intention isn’t to govern or improve the country.
I wonder if people are getting it now. He’s a threat.
His goal is to tear the country to its foundations and rebuild it as a Russian style oligarchy.
She will get into that position and it will be so over her head that she won’t be able to do anything. Nothing will change. Nothing will happen. And somehow they will blame the Democrats and say it’s all their fault. This is Trump and GOP 101. All they really want to do is fleece the government and get every penny they can from the treasury department. That’s the point of all of it. And oh yeah, keep the treasonous rapist and tax evader out of prison.
I hate this administration already.
I’m shocked… Well, not really… Well ok, I am absolutely zero shocked by this development.
Ok, so this has to at least be tied for his least qualified nomination… right?!?
Her education degree isn’t fake, it’s predetermined.
I am honestly surprised that she is resigning because of this. She should have never been nominated in the first place, but I honestly didn’t even expect this level of due diligence.
