Donald Trump to shut down Depratment of Edducation

author avatar by 2 years ago

Employees at the US Department of Education are rejoicing today after a number of spelling mistakes in an executive order meant Donald Trump dismantled the Depratment of Edducation instead.

It comes after White House officials prepared an executive order directing Education Secretary Linda McMahon to begin the process of closing down the Department of Education.

“That was my bad,” said White House aide Chuck Williams. “I thought my spelling was top-notch, but it turns out education only has one ‘D’ in it.

“It’s so frustrating. The Department of Education serves literally no purpose, and yet here it is, still going strong just because of a little spelling mistake.

“Donald is going to be so mad at me. Perhaps not quite as mad as when he looked up to see ‘Tump Tower’ written on the side of his building. That was a rough day.

“Hopefully I can redeem myself next week when he signs the executive order banning transgenic rights.

“Oh, fuck. Someone get me some Tipp-Ex.”

Trump has long signalled his desire to close down the Department of Education, a move backed by his supporters all throughout the US. 

“Me think department not good,” said one guy in a MAGA hat. “Me not school, me turn out fine.”
