Trump ran his mouth abut DEI and how people with disabilities were being hired. He forgt that he was re ne wh made that possible.
Trump pushed to remove all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives from federal programs upon his return to office. During a Thursday press conference, Trump suggested diversity hiring programs were to blame for the collision between a passenger jet and a military helicopter near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, but did not provide any evidence to support his claims.
Speaking during Thursday's press conference, Trump read from a January 2024 Fox News article, which he mistakenly said was from this month, about an FAA program to actively recruit people with "severe" disabilities.
However, the FAA launched a similar initiative in 2019 during Trump's first term in office to actively hire people with disabilities.
The FAA announced in April 2019 that it would launch a pilot program to help prepare people with disabilities for careers in air traffic operations.
The FAA stated that those trained under the program would receive the same "rigorous consideration" in terms of aptitude, medical, and security qualifications as those doing standard air traffic controller job applications.
Trump is senile.
