Trump blames everyone he can.

“The FAA is actively recruiting workers who suffer severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency’s website,” said Trump, noting that the program allowed for the hiring of people with hearing and vision issues as well as paralysis, epilepsy and “dwarfism.”

      Time to get ahead of this boys, it could make us look real bad. Any suggestions? Yes, you there in the back.

      Yes sir President sir. We can just blame this all on DEI hires and American Disabilities Act for hiring intellectually inferior women and minorities.

      I like the way you think. How about a cabinet position.

    Regardless of the false claims, how does dwarfism affect the abilities of an FAA ATC? Is this just ableism and he’s saying the quiet part out loud?

    In its racial categorisation, Nazism viewed what it called the Aryan race as the master race of the world—a race that was superior to all other races.[175] It viewed Aryans as being in racial conflict with a mixed race people, the Jews, whom the Nazis identified as a dangerous enemy of the Aryans. It also viewed a number of other peoples as dangerous to the well-being of the Aryan race. In order to preserve the perceived racial purity of the Aryan race, a set of race laws was introduced in 1935 which came to be known as the Nuremberg Laws. At first these laws only prevented sexual relations and marriages between Germans and Jews, but they were later extended to the “Gypsies, Negroes, and their bastard offspring”, who were described by the Nazis as people of “alien blood”.[176][177] Such relations between Aryans (cf. Aryan certificate) and non-Aryans were now punishable under the race laws as Rassenschande or “race defilement”.[176] After the war began, the race defilement law was extended to include all foreigners (non-Germans).[178] At the bottom of the racial scale of non-Aryans were Jews, Romanis, Slavs[179] and blacks.[180] To maintain the “purity and strength” of the Aryan race, the Nazis eventually sought to exterminate Jews, Romani, Slavs and the physically and mentally disabled.[179][181] Other groups deemed “degenerate” and “asocial” who were not targeted for extermination, but were subjected to exclusionary treatment by the Nazi state, included homosexuals, blacks, Jehovah’s Witnesses and political opponents.[181] One of Hitler’s ambitions at the start of the war was to exterminate, expel or enslave most or all Slavs from Central and Eastern Europe in order to acquire living space for German settlers.[182]

    Lies, lies, and more lies. This regime is following the same pattern as the troll farms leading up to the election. Put bullshit out as fast as you can, faster than anyone can correct or hold the attention of the population long enough to listen tot he facts before the next wave of bullshit overcomes them.

    Every dumb and shitty thing Trump does is just his billionaire bosses using him to try to take support away from Luigi Mangione.

    This is a fight with the 0.1%, and there’s more of us.

    All this dude had to say was “This was a tragic loss and we are investigating the matter to ensure it does not happen again.”

    When the obvious right answer is staring him in the face, he just can’t help but spin conspiracy theories and lie about shit to further his political agenda. Hijacking a tragedy or stirring up avoidable controversy to keep all the other insane shit he’s doing out of the news is basically his MO at this point.

      Trump is not capable of that type of thought process. He doesn’t actually give a shit about anyone else but himself. He is only interested in the benefits of being in power, mainly enrichment of his own wealth.

      At this point? Its his only MO. Dont forget when asked the most softball question at the start of Covid about what he would say to scared Americans he attacked the person asking the question.
