Garbage in Garbage out.

Trump’s actual words rather than the Narrative of the Uniparty and those pushing other candidates.

“Government should do public works & safety & little else
Common sense tell us that the two basic principles of governing should work anywhere they are applied. First: Get government out of activities it can’t do well. (A list of thing government doesn’t do well is a very long list.)”

“Second: Get government back in the business of providing for public convenience (transportation, public works) and safety (police and firefighters), and make sure it does so efficiently. Then judge its efforts by visible, definable results and fine-tune as needed.”

Abolish Common Core and Return Control to the Local Level. Cut the Department of Education and the EPA
“Bring on the competition; tear down the union walls
Our public schools have grown up in a competition-free zone, surrounded by a very high union wall. Why aren’t we shocked at the results? After all, teachers’ unions are motivated by the same desires that move the rest of us. With more than 85% of their soft-money donations going to Democrats, teachers’ unions know they can count on the politician they back to take a strong stand against school choice.”

“Our public schools are capable of providing a more competitive product than they do today. Look at some of the high school tests from earlier in this century and you’ll wonder if they weren’t college level tests. And we’ve got to bring on the competition - open the schoolhouse doors and let parents choose the best school for their children.”

“Education reformers call this school choice, charter schools, vouchers, even opportunity scholarships. I call it competition - the American way.”

“The issue is not that so much of the state is public land; it is how that land is managed,” the campaign wrote, promising to cut “needless bureaucratic red tape.”

The solution to big government is not better management.

Trump wants more efficient government. Ted Cruz and any normal conservative wants less government.
We all know what would would be best.
