      Hmm. I mean, the Trump-related joke here is easy, but this was a much bigger issue.

      Yes. “Effectively kills inquiries.” I’m confused.

      I mean the issue is bigger than him but it’s being submerged now because of him. The administration acting as a big machine to project his personal problems into outsize national problems.

      And my point is that I think this has nothing to do with Trump or his “personal problems,” as you put it — as the story (and many by @mollyhc before she switched beats) makes clear. This appears to be about interests that DeVos has brought it.

          There was no reason to hire devos except these issues!

          Huh? Trump University had been long gone. The investigations and efforts at Ed had nothing to do with Trump U, so I don’t understand what you mean, let alone why you’re declaring it like it’s obvious.

          Good grief. I didn’t assert any of the straw men you’ve lined up above. I don’t know where this is coming from or even what your disagreement is. What’s wrong with “confidently declaring” that this administration’s policy direction is reflective of the president’s own history?

          OK, Pup. I think I posed a pretty simple point up top — that this is reflective of DeVos and her people’s priorities and is not just a TrumpU-related thing — but you’ve wound it around to something else altogether. Have a good night.

          Ok let’s wind it down then. Your language changed from “this has nothing to do with trump” to it’s “not just a TrumpU-related thing” which made it hard to follow on my end. Of course I agree with the latter formulation. Have a good night too.

          I think the point is that it's not so much TrumpU specifically, as that he and DeVos believe in the fundamental principle that for-profit schools should be able to rip students off. It has "nothing to do with Trump" in the sense that there's no ongoing investigation of TrumpU.
