  President Trump emphasized the need for "brilliant people" in air traffic positions while suggesting that DEI hiring practices might have been to blame for the deadly mid-air collision.

In a recent statement, former President Donald Trump suggested that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives might be responsible for a fatal mid-air collision involving two U.S. Army helicopters in Alaska. Trump made these comments during a speech, implying that the focus on DEI could be distracting from essential military training and operational safety. This incident, which resulted in the death of three soldiers, has sparked a broader debate about the role and impact of DEI programs within the military. Critics argue that Trump's remarks oversimplify complex issues related to military training and safety, while supporters believe he is highlighting a potential oversight in prioritizing social policies over combat readiness.
