Meet Trump's Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos
If Betsy had gone to public school, maybe she wouldn't be such a total idiot!

Of all of Trump's appointees this DeVos lady seems to be the most unqualified and one of the most controversial too. If she pushes her apparent agenda too hard, there will be some major issues from which the Trump administration will not recover, unless Trump is quick to tell her YOUR FIRED!!! Nothing about her background suggests that she will be constructive or helpful. It's all about her incredibly selfish agenda is the way it looks. Trump seems to confuse being rich with being smart. That is a fundamental mistake which will almost certainly doom him to failure.

shadylady: The choice of DeVos confirms the worst fears that many had about Trump. He may talk like he cares about regular people, but all the people who will be feeding him info are extremely rich people. How can you possibly do anything good for regular people if you are in a bubble of rich people who have no experience with the real world? DeVos has lived her life in a bubble of unearned privilege and she has no clue about how to improve public education in the USA. That was obvious from the confirmation hearings and everything about her background reeks of filthy rich arrogance.

Betsy DeVos Needs an Education About Education - #DollemoreDaily
This lady is not even remotely qualified to be a teacher. How is it possible for her to be the education secretary. She's a total and complete joke. Only a moron would even consider her for such an important responsibility.

On Twitter I saw that the DumpDevos hashtag is trending. There might actually be a viable movement to get rid of her. Like wildrose said, she's not even qualified to be a teacher. She has no clue and yet Trump is stupid enough to pick her as education secretary just because she happens to be rich. What kind of idiot does something like that?

All I can say is that DeVos is a disaster, but there are more just like her waiting in the wings and so one way or the other Trump is most likely going to get someone like her as Secretary of Education.

Teacher 'Assassinates Trump' in Classroom :dizzy:
This is more funny than anything, but it does give you an idea of how widespread disapproval of Trump actually is. I think this teacher lost it a little. I mean shooting him with a water gun is funny, but shouting "Die! Die!" was going a little overboard!

Betsy DeVos appears to have plagiarized
So not surprising. This lady is a dingbat!
:wtf: is wrong with Trump?
Q: Why would he nominate such an incompetent nincompoop? :upset:
A: To make himself look smarter in comparison... :smack:

recluse: Trump wants to be in charge, but he's not all that smart. So, he has to be careful who he nominates or else they'll start running the show. He's insecure, but there's a very good reason for that. He lacks a lot of basic competencies and that makes him vulnerable. To compensate he bullies and banters and stays awake at night worrying about who's going to potentially blind-side him. I hope I'm wrong, but we could be in big trouble!
