President Donald Trump suggested the Education Department will not exist for much longer, saying he wants to close it “immediately” and calling it a “big con job.”

“So they ranked the top 40 countries in the world,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday afternoon. “We’re ranked number 40th, but we’re ranked No. 1 in department costs per pupil, so we spend more per pupil than any other country in the world, but we’re ranked No. 40.”
