The next time you hear a MAGAT mewling about DEI, hit them with this:

DEI? Wait! Doesn't that stand for Don Jr., Eric, and Ivanka ... three pampered trust fund twits with absolutely no qualifications who were handed important government positions by their daddy?
YEAH! I hate that DEI shit!

is never talked about. The traitor lying about crowd sizes could easily be fact checked, MSM refuses to do so.

Oh and EGYPT bribe.

Show me ONE reporter that asked him ANY of these questions???

Except that isn't true.

John Adams named his son, John Quincy, to what is now an Ambassador (then a minister resident) to Prussia in 1797.

William Gibbs McAdoo served as secretary of the treasury and chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. When he married Woodrow Wilson's daughter later, not a peep about having him step down.

FDR's son, James, served as dad's administrative assistant starting in 1937, and 6 months later became secretary to the President.

Eisenhower appointed his son WH as staff secretary.

And of course JFK nominated his brother as Attorney General. He also put his brother-in-law, Sargent Shriver, in charge of the newly-formed Peace Corps.

So, no, it's not the first time ever that someone installed family members in government.

I used a pic of Trump at the NABJ interview for the meme. I figured if he didn't answer the question, I'd do it for him.

Because it’s true, in the sense they mean DEI.

it cracks me up when repukes fearmonger about the suburbs, as if they were all still lily-white - not only is there quite a bit of diversity in much of suburbia, we get along just fine

Okay, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration, but only slight.

...about qualifications, knowledge, intelligence, and the ability to respond under fire.

Trump has more experience being president, but I don't think he grew much from the experience.

an ounce from the experience! He was never actively involved in 'Presidenting' - just being an actor pretending to be a 'leader' and milking the job for all the grifting and scamming it was worth.
Remember the NATO or G-7 conference where so many of the other 'leaders' were filmed laughing at one of the Trumps (was it IQ45 or his daughter?)? That shows how much 'stature' he gained/earned on the international stage.
He's an idiot - he's a buffoon - he's a fool - and yes, he's weird!!!!

Nah, he didn't grow - he rotted on the vine!

But seriously, how does the white man know he’s not an anti DEI hire? I mean, how many qualified people of color or women weren’t hired over a lesser qualified white guy?

It means "I don;t need another white boy who thinks he knows everything. I need someone with actual skills and credentials."

When I first started saying this, it was "affirmative action."

On Pod Save America. She said that one of the things people who claim to hate don't realize is that under Title I, poor schools like those in Appalachia receive additional support to improve educational outcomes, so Vance himself is probably a beneficiary of DEI.

but we did provide SS protection as they traveled about the world selling the 'TRUMP' grift, er, name to suckers, er, customers throughout the world, benefiting from the 'connection' to the 'President' of the United States and all of the 'con' that he would deliver.

What is true is that they got executive and board positions in the tRump organization that they would never get on their own merits except for the nepotism.
