After Donald Trump blamed the Washington air crash on diversity hires by Air Traffic Control, he has denied that any of his recent appointees fall into this category. He reportedly said that ‘almost none of them have severe intellectual or psychiatric disabilities.’ He refutes claims that he appointed anyone to meet targets for fundraising, or letting him win at golf. He insists that all of his staff are appointed solely on merit.
The President is reported to have said, ‘My Efficiency Bro, Elon Musk, is a regular white, male guy. He’s really rich, so he’s definitely not in an excluded or disadvantaged group. His social media app is open to all, however prejudiced, without fear or favour … although, actually, fear is favoured. He will be great at cutting government oversight and regulations, but he obviously/probably won’t do anything to advantage Tesla, SpaceX, TwitteX or Bitcoin. All of those regulations will be cut by someone else.
‘My Defence Secretary, Pete Hegseth, has plenty of government experience as a regular white, male guy. He nearly got elected to the Minnesota senate in 2012 – so close, so close – and he learnt a lot from that. He doesn’t want women in combat roles – that’s just chivalry, not wokery. And he thinks men are more capable – that’s just a fact. The allegations of sexual assault, drinking and financial mismanagement are all fake news. People in disadvantaged minorities don’t get to co-host weekend shows on Fox TV, so that proves he’s not a diversity hire.
‘My Health Secretary, RFK, has a gravelly voice. That doesn’t make him queer, or Hispanic, or intellectually retarded. He used to say my supporters were idiots, and this proves his commitment to free speech for all Americans. He is prepared to ignore the small minority who believe in vaccines, and he respects the right of citizens to travel to undeveloped countries, if they want to, and to bravely die of un-American diseases like Yellow Fever. He’s just a regular white, male guy who is going to do a great job.
In conclusion, Mr Trump allegedly said that he didn’t need rules and regulations to appoint a diverse and capable group of white men to work with him.
He emphasised that he had no problem in appointing Mexicans, if they paid for the wall. And no problem appointing Canadians, once they were part of the USA. And no problem in appointing women, if they could make good coffee and sign an NDA.
