My bad, correcting it immediately.
Trump (supposedly) wants to raise standards by ending diversity initiatives, then immediately fills his government with unqualified nepo-babies.
10 days down, 1451 to go.
Yeah some 21 year old and someone who just graduated high-school. America were fucked.
Here is the quote, I had to click through a couple links to get to it, really they need to be putting his quotes front and center because by paraphrasing they make him sound more nuanced and reasonable than he is.
"The FAA diversity push includes focus on hiring people with severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities. That is amazing," Trump said, claiming the FAA wanted people "with severe disabilities, the most underrepresented segment of the workforce, and they want them in and they want them - they can be air traffic controllers." Asked how he could blame diversity, equity and inclusion hiring for the crash, Trump said, "because I have common sense.”
