Trump administration officials fired more than 300 staffers at the National Nuclear Security Administration — the agency tasked with managing the nation’s nuclear stockpile — as part of broader Energy Department layoffs. Incredibly, they didn't know this agency oversees America’s nuclear weapons.

Across the TV news landscape, coverage of Trump's inauguration was soft.
Networks almost entirely avoided using terms like "twice-impeached" or "convicted felon." On CNN, neither term was used a single time, per a search of closed captioning.

Exactly!
On top of being completely unqualified there is also this. Trump doesn’t have to outright dismantle the department of education. He can destroy it through actions like this that will render it ineffective until it’s useless.
