Summary
Donald Trump blamed a Washington, DC, plane crash on a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) program, despite the fact that he launched the initiative during his first term.
The 2019 FAA program aimed to hire more air traffic controllers with disabilities.
Trump misattributed the program to Democrats, citing a misdated Fox News report, and claimed DEI compromised safety, though no evidence supports this.
Investigators are still examining the crash, which killed all 67 people aboard.
Isn’t that a lot of politicians? I hate Trump as much as the next gal, but this particular thing doesn’t sound all that out of the ordinary.
While this is true, there’s one thing, for me, that make it unique in Trump: he has a fanatical voter base, he is less concerned about being caught lying than any other politician.
