    Until we know why, the most prudent course of action is to place the blame on the commander in chief of all the military. As they bar the highest level of responsibility.

        # Trump suggests ‘dwarves, amputees and epileptics’ are ‘DEI hires’ and not qualified for Air Traffic Control positions

        Trump highlighted a series of articles covering the FAA’s “diversity push,” saying they were actively recruiting workers who “suffer severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, and other mental and physical conditions.”

        Trump included examples of some of the disabilities and conditions that are listed on the FAA’s website, including individuals missing extremities, paralysis, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism, among others.

        He said: “'The FAA website states they include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism all qualified for the position of a controller of air planes pouring into our country, pouring into a little spot. A little dot on the map. A runway.”

        You pretty much called it:

        He also claimed, seemingly without evidence, that former President Joe Biden had lowered the standard for hiring air traffic controllers, which he said was raised to the “highest standard that you could have” during his first administration in 2016.

        So let’s preemptively blame Trump.

        Why doesn’t he care about the troops?

        How could this be allowed to happen under Trumps presidency?
