WYM Mod<p>Isaac Stanley-Becker of The Atlantic reveals a troubling narrative: Following a tragic aviation disaster, Trump blamed Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) hiring practices for the crash, despite lacking evidence. He initiated a costly investigation into DEI's supposed impact on safety. Experienced controllers argue such inquiries are unnecessary, debunking Trump's claims. Discover the deeper implications and facts behind this heated discourse.
