In a tragic aircraft accident that killed sixty-seven, Trump uniquely seized the moment to further his anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) stance. Despite acknowledging the unknown cause of the crash, he blamed past administrations and linked the tragedy to hiring practices involving people with disabilities. The article argues that while there are systemic issues in air traffic safety tied to historical leadership failures, Trump's push to connect them to DEI initiatives lacks factual basis. The ongoing divide in public perception regarding Trump’s claims highlights broader societal polarization.
Trump's claim that the crash was caused by diversity hires of people with disabilities is easy to debunk. The FAA has strict requirements for air traffic controllers.
While Trump acknowledged that the cause of the crash was unknown, he quickly blamed DEI, stating it was because he has common sense.
