Illiteracy R Us

All funding for adult literacy programs within the Department of Education has been eliminated from the Trump budget for the upcoming year.

Ditto funding for:
  • book distribution
  • education for homeless children
  • comprehensive education centers
  • Indian (AKA Native American) student education
  • research in innovation for education
  • arts in education
  • programs for gifted and talented students
  • programs for special-needs students
and literally dozens more.

Perhaps Donald Trump genuinely believes he "knows words" and has "the best words".  If that's so, the budget cuts just mentioned may be his attempt, in truly narcissistic fashion, to center everything on himself. Trump's not an orator, let alone a thinker.  But if everyone else has fewer words, lesser words, or no words at all, he can still consider himself a Renaissance Man.
