Trump Blames Plane Crash on DEI
Because only white people can be air traffic controllers
So I was sitting in front of my laptop scrolling through the headlines trying to decide which outrage to rant about today. I was leaning towards the little dust-up going on in the Florida legislature cuz I don’t know about you, but I’m getting a little Trump fatigue. I need a palate cleanser and the travails of the former Dark Lord of Florida seemed just the thing.
Then this little headline caught my eye: “President Blames D.E.I. and Biden for Crash Under Trump’s Watch.”
What the actual fuck?
Sure enough, at a news conference Trump said that the cause of the tragic plane crash last night was the diversity requirements at the FAA. Why is he saying that?
“Because I have common sense. For some jobs, we need the highest level of genius.”
If the crash weren’t so tragic, I might have laughed out loud. A fucking moron talking about genius. Trump wouldn’t know genius if it kicked him in the balls.
Can you tell I’m a little pissed off? Okay, majorly pissed off is a better description of my current mood.
After years of under-funding, under-staffing, and under-paying the people who manage air traffic, Trump wants to blame DEI…
