Trump blaming minorities for the crash.

[Anonymous]

It’s not easy living in a country where the leader wants my kids to fail. He is prejudiced against women and people of color.

This is what Trump said:
"It just could have been," Trump said when he was asked whether he believed the crash was the result of diversity hiring. We must have only the highest standards for those who work in our aviation system," Trump said."

It must certainly could not have been fool. I grew up with a friend that went to the naval academy and had a long successful career as a Navy helicopter pilot. Now her children only get that opportunity if she happens to birth some white boys? Ridiculous.

It can’t possibly be true that they’re all white?

Yep - all 3 in the helicopter were white men. Both the pilot and co-pilot in the plane were white, and the ATC is white.

But, according to Trump in a nationally televised press conference DEI is to blame. Too many white people involved? White army officers flew a helicopter into a landing plane causing a crash killing everyone. But, according to the President of the United States minorities are to blame.

"I do want to point out that various articles that appeared prior to my entering office, and here's one the FAA's diversity push includes focus on hiring people with severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities," Trump said. "That is amazing, and then it says, FAA says people with severe disabilities are most underrepresented segment of the workforce, and they want them in and they want them. They can be air traffic controllers, I don't think so. This was in Jan. 14, [2024], so that was a week before I entered office. They put a big push to put diversity into the FAA's program. Then another article, the Federal Aviation Administration. This was before I got to office recently, second term. The FAA is actively recruiting workers who suffer severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, and other mental and physical conditions under under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency's website. Can you imagine?"

Trump thinks he was sworn in a week before 1/14/24? What a loon.

That’s not what he said, please read it again. There’s lots to criticize him about, so there’s no need to make stuff up.

They were turned away because of the color of their skin,” Vice President JD Vance said of air traffic controllers. “That policy ends under Donald Trump’s leadership.”

We do not know what led to this crash, but we have some very strong opinions and ideas,” he said. “And I think we'll probably state those opinions now, because over the years I've watched as things like this happen and they say, ‘Well, we're always investigating.’”

How long do we have to listen to this garbage? Now this tragedy will turn into a race issue and the country won’t be able to get together and grieve for these people.

Actually I think he said we should hire the best and the brightest air traffic controllers and not base hiring on race, sex, orientation, etc. It’s called a meritocracy.

But nobody can prove it's not already a meritocracy.

We don’t live in a meritocracy. Never have, probably never will. That would mean solely hiring on metrics and evidence and we don’t do that. That would mean no more “personality hires” or getting jobs for friends and family. That isn’t merit.

Tell me you know absolutely nothing about federal hiring without telling me you know absolutely nothing about federal hiring.

I do. I’m sure you’ve heard of Direct Hire and Excepted Service. Not to mention a five-day job announcement in Competitive Service that the job description is constructed to one person’s known skill set.

Four more years of this crap, every day!

God help us!

Things Trump did wrong: Pardon some of the J6 criminals who attacked police. He was wrong to bring DEI and blame to today's press conference really bad move.

Things Trump has done well: Quick action EO. Deportation will be popular especially the Columbia compromise. Mandatory RTO and the purging of career feds will be popular.

The rest is neutral on party lines

Purging of career Feds will not be long term popular. It will not save money and you apparently have no idea what Feds do or how their jobs are funded.

Right - we have understaffed Air Traffic Control Towers, with this 1 guy reportedly doing the work of 2, yet he and the other controllers that were there probably received the dumb “Fork in the road” email earlier that day.

Understaffed, overworked, freeze on backfills, demoralized by Trump and Musk's deranged demonization of feds, their jobs threatened, even more cuts and pointless but draconian nonsense proposed, accused of being "DEI hires" despite meeting very stringent health standards and qualifications, being spammed with bizarre "buy out" emails that are probably a scam... yeah I'm sure those guys in the tower are top o' the world right now.

Trump should start with himself. As someone long past retirement age and a felon to boot, he is the very definition of a DEI “hire.” Time for him to walk the walk and resign.

He’s a narcissist. Facts are irrelevant to him. The more outrageous his lies, the more press he gets and the more people focus on him. That’s all he cares about.

So for anyone out there who does this, please be aware this is what decent people think of you when we hear that, and if that's not the way you want to be thought of, you're going to have to prove otherwise through sincere words and actions.

Yep, but my guess is they don’t care if people think they are racist.

He's creating lies and chaos to distract us from the true evil his part is planning. People need to wake up and stand up.

The way they spit it out with such vitriol is very telling.

DEI Hire = A more deserving White man, and when one is feeling charitable, a White woman, should have been hired instead of a non-White person.
