President Donald Trump said school choice and being tougher with China would be top priorities in his second term if he were reelected.
In an interview with Steve Hilton that aired Sunday night on Fox News’ “The Next Revolution,” Trump immediately volunteered “I‘d love to see school choice” when Hilton broached the subject of what he’d like to do in his second term. “Education is going to be a big factor for me,” Trump told Hilton.
“We are working with every educational group in the country,“ he said.
The president also said he intended to push harder against China for its trade policies — and even considered Hilton’s suggestion that he consider “decoupling” from the nation’s close economic links to China.
“There’s been no country that has ripped us off like China,” Trump said in the interview, which was taped Friday.
Even while taking repeated shots at Democratic nominee Joe Biden, Trump said he expected that the Republican National Convention, which starts Monday, would be more upbeat than the Democratic convention, which concluded Thursday.
“I think we’re going to see something that is going to be very uplifting and positive,” he said.
