I wish he has waited until later to go into DEI since undoubtedly some of those victims and families are Dems and they are grieving.
Trump has seen all of the evidence, and clearly there was incompetence on the part of either ATC or military but not the commercial pilots who died.
It dovetails into DEI - and his revelation about the FAA’s recent DEI hiring guidelines -even increased just 2 weeks ago is very disturbing.
Trump is also talking in the context of the MSM already blaming him & his appointments which is absurd this early. But, he should gave thicker skin.
I 1000% agree that critical jobs such as an ATC should be merit based / Trump is correct on this and you obviously agree.
Do you need to have been personally affected by a critical hire with less competence to know that it puts you at higher risk? Of course not.
I’ve seen the same competency slippage in medicine and surgery. It needs to stop - its not only unconstitutional, it’s common sense.
I wish he had waited a day though, he said he didn’t know if this was DEI related for sure, but he clearly suspects it.
If DEI is not involved here, it does NOT diminish the danger of the DEI practice.
