Trump is feeling threatened by the DCA crash, so he needs to find something/someone other than himself to blame. DEI is going to be his excuse for every bad thing that happens on his watch. Bet on it.

Incidentally, three-quarters of air traffic controllers in the United States are White; 84 percent are men. Only 7 percent have disabilities. Seven in 10 are White men. Those numbers haven’t changed much since Trump was president in 2019 — despite the initiation of a program that year aimed specifically at hiring more people with disabilities at the FAA.
So Trump's 2017 administration was the one that initiated the DEI hiring to begin with and now is blaming Biden for it.
