President Donald Trump has already told him what to blame him after the fatal collision of American Airlines 5342 and the US Army Black Hawk Helicopter killed 67 people beyond the Potomac River. : A diversity program that creates classes of unqualus federal workers.
At the moment Trump was making these strange comments from the White House’s briefing room, his three most controversial candidates lead the FBI, coordinate the national spy institution, and manage their public management. A health system that faced serious questions about Capitol Hill regarding the lack of traditional qualifications to do.
This is an incredible irony of Trump 2.0, and the new president claims a widespread delegation to dismantle the Federal bureaucracy as it exists today, and all air traffic About the conformity of workers, the controller has passed the same aptitude test.
On the other hand, more than 2 million feders have evidence that 330 million countries can be too small in a very specific way. The Federal Aviation Bureau reported that before Trump’s presidential position, when the FAA -developed human resources planning and controller represented 14,600, the shortage of air control officers.
At the time of the collision, one controller had moved the two tower positions, and air traffic control told CNN. At the early stage of the investigation, the officers of the National Traffic Safety Commission at the press conference did not comment on the report. Asked about Trump’s claims about a diversity that causes a crash, NTSB chairman Jennifer Homendy, who first nominated his position in 2018, looked at the “human, machine, environment”. He said he decided what did not work.
Trump acknowledged that his broad -side in the diversity program was born from his intestine rather than any evidence from his intestines. This is his exchange with David Sanger’s reporter for the New York Times:
Sanger: President, you have blamed the diversity of diversity today, but did not know if the controller made a mistake. Then you said that the helicopter pilot was probably the one who made a mistake.
Trump: It’s all under investigation.
Souger: I understand it. That’s why I am trying to understand how you can reach the conclusion that diversity is related to this crash.
Trump: Because I have common sense. Understood. And unfortunately, many people do not. Well, we want great people to do this. This is the highest level of chess games.
Trump ended the diversity program, especially in the FAA, as part of his executive action Blitz. He also read from an online report a year ago about the efforts of FAA to hire people with disabilities.
He didn’t seem to understand that the same criteria were set during his first management, and even accidentally fixed the reporter who pointed out it.
According to the 2023 FAA report, about 2 % of FAA employees had target disorders mentioned in his comments. However, air control officers are a special subset of FAA employees who need to meet physical requirements, test drug use, and pass special aptitude tests.
Despite the cancellation of Trump’s diversity programs, the FAA has delayed the rest of the federal workers by representing the national composition. Approximately 24 % of women hired in the FAA are far below 48 % of large private workers. If a white man accounts for about 36 % of large federal workers, it accounts for more than 55 % of FAA employees.
Trump obviously, all air control officers have said that Americans should still feel safe in the air, so not all air control officers are not qualified. But he promised that the cancellation of the diversity program improves the standard.
Vice President JD Vans, who appeared with Trump in the White House’s briefing room, felt that he had been discriminated against for biographical questions added to screening textbooks, and filed a lawsuit against the FAA by the applicant of the White Air Control Officer. He stated that it was raised.
Trump’s claim about diversity is his expanding effort, along with his expanding effort to Cull the federal workers on a legally suspicious offer to pay without work until September, but it is a loose promise. Not too much.
On Wednesday’s remarks, Trump blamed the federal workers who had the flexibility to remotely work that they were not actually working. The Air Control is more than half of the federal workers who have been completely on -site before Trump’s inauguration.
While Trump was attacking an air control official, the Senator was wondering about his top management selection qualifications.
Kash Patel, a Trump election that leads the FBI, appeals to the president, as PATEL wants to shake the FBI. He pledged not to participate in retaliation campaigns in a 10 -year job, despite the previous statements of the enemy list and the opposition of Trump to investigate.
Tarci Gabard is a former Democratic member of the Congress to seek the pardon of Edward Snoden, a former Intelligence reporter, who leaked information about the Intelligence report program classified before escaping to Russia. Faced a skepticism. Gabard, who has never worked in intelligence, said that Snowden had a debate NSA domestic eavesdropping program.
“The FBI and the Intelligense newsletter in this country are the so -called deep -depth that Donald Trump has opposed him since the start of 2016,” said CNN’s David Calanian, Director Washington. I said. Trump wants to shake the system.
Republican Senator will have to break Trump due to lack of traditional qualifications for these candidates to make their nomination into a torpedo with torpedoes. Gabard faced more scrutiny from Republican members than Patel. She refused to say if Snowden was a traitor.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., on the second day of the hearing, was a secretary for health and human service, and faced his questions on his vaccine from Senator Bill Cassidi, a Republican doctor. I did.
