Donald Trump will say just about anything, won’t he?

One thing we’ve come to know for certain since he emerged on the political scene nearly ten years ago is that he’ll say whatever he feels like without any thought whatsoever. Frankly, I think that’s a large part of what endeared him to the right wing base. After all, most of this country has been listening to politicians without an authentic bone in their body for decades, and the lack of a filter makes it sound like he’s actually being honest with them.

Ah, but every once in a while he says something that’ll make your ears perk up.

Like when he just said we should have an education system more like Norway’s.

At a rally, the former President said:

“…It will be phenomenal. It will be like beautiful. It will be like Norway. Norway has a great education system…”

Norway, huh?

Interesting, considering they have one of the most publicly funded and best education systems in the entire world. Sure sounds a lot like “socialism”, right?
