In a move that has conservatives clapping, President-elect Donald Trump has picked Linda McMahon, former head of the Small Business Administration, as his choice for Education Secretary. The announcement was made on Tuesday, following Trump’s nomination of Howard Lutnick for Secretary of Commerce, establishing a formidable team leading the charge for the upcoming administration.
McMahon isn’t just another face in the crowd; she is a powerhouse in the Republican donor arena and has a track record that speaks volumes. Back when wrestling wasn’t just a Saturday night spectacle, McMahon was busy co-founding World Wrestling Entertainment with her husband, Vince McMahon. Who better to bring a little showmanship to the Department of Education? After all, our great nation needs a bit of flair as it navigates the gauntlet of educational reform.

In addition to her wrestling fame and strong financial backing of conservative causes, McMahon has already shown where she stands politically by serving as the board chair for the America First Policy Institute, a think tank committed to promoting Trump’s America-first agenda. It’s hard to argue against her qualifications in shaping an education system that values American ideals over the questionable curricula that have infiltrated many classrooms across the nation.
Trump’s education plans are gaining traction, and with McMahon at the helm, there’s hope for a radical shift away from the drab and progressive policies that have plagued America’s schools for too long. It seems like McMahon’s sports entertainment background may just be the secret sauce that injects some excitement—and common sense—back into the education debate.
While the left may scoff at McMahon’s ascension, many conservatives are thrilled by the prospect of a pro-business, pro-American educator taking the reins. With Lutnick planned to oversee trade policies, it appears Trump is assembling a team that not only knows business but also understands the importance of instilling strong economic principles from an early age. The ripple effects of these appointments could reshape the future of education and commerce in America—if only the media would give credit where it’s due.
