The Plan Isn’t Working

Trump’s Flood Zone

My plan was not to be outraged by everything Trump does. But his response to the DC airplane disaster is beyond dispicable. No condolences, just attack and blame. His first response was to say the crash happened because of DEI hires for air-traffic controllers. When asked to explain what the connection is, he said:

“It just could have been. We have a high standard. We’ve had a much higher standard than anybody else. And there are things where you have to go by brainpower. You have to go by psychological quality, and psychological quality is a very important element of it. These are various, very powerful tests that we put to use. And they were terminated by Biden. And Biden went by a standard that seeks the exact opposite. So we don’t know. But we do know that you had two planes at the same level. You had a helicopter and a plane. That shouldn’t have happened. And, we’ll see. We’re going to look into that, and we’re going to see. But certainly for an air traffic controller, we want the brightest, the smartest, the sharpest. We want somebody that’s psychologically superior. And that’s what we’re going to have.”

Q: “… I’m trying to figure out how you can come to the conclusion right now that diversity had something to do with this crash.”
