Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

Trump: "She's moved education back to the states. And you need congressional approval. I said, 'Don't worry about it. Just do it.' She did it."
