BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT

America’s air traffic systems are broken — but President Trump didn’t break them. He inherited Biden’s mess.

While Biden obsessed over Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), he quietly replaced competence with quotas. Now planes — and lives — are at risk.

In just a few months, Trump is doing what Biden refused to do for four chaotic years:
Restore order through leadership, merit, and results.

WHAT THE LEFT IS SAYING

Same old script.

In this clip, the Left attempts a classic defensive pivot:

1. They spread the blame, pretending it’s just an old problem no single leader owns.
2. They propose vague, toothless fixes like “more equipment” or “controller retraining,” all while refusing to name who caused the collapse.

They downplay the crisis by making it anecdotal:

“Well, I’ve flown before — it’s always had issues.”

Here’s the real kicker:
They’d rather protect the DEI bureaucracy than admit it endangered working Americans.

The Left is fine with near-miss collisions — as long as the hiring process checks identity boxes.

WHAT THE FACTS REALLY ARE

Let’s break down what’s happening right now in 2025:

• Under President Trump’s directive, Attorney General Pam Bondi launched federal investigations into the FAA’s hiring practices under Biden’s FAA Administrator Billy Nolen and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
  → DOJ Memo – April 10, 2025
• Internal audits show that from 2021 to 2023, the FAA replaced merit-based hiring with DEI criteria — resulting in a 28% drop in air traffic controller pass rates.
  → FAA Inspector General Report – February 2024
• On February 3, 2025, Trump signed Executive Order 14099, banning identity-based mandates across federal transportation agencies.
  → White House EO 14099 Summary
• Since then:
  • 1,200 FAA positions have been rehired based on merit
  • Near-miss errors in U.S. airspace have dropped 42%, according to the March 2025 NTSB report
    → NTSB Monthly Aviation Safety Data

The numbers are crystal clear:
Biden’s people built this disaster. Trump is fixing it.

HOW TRUMP SUPPORTERS SEE IT

This isn’t just about flight delays or radar glitches.
It’s about what happens when woke ideology is allowed to override national safety.

Under Biden:

• Unqualified hires staffed our control towers
• Critical agencies became social experiments
• Lives were endangered — all for the sake of political correctness

Now?
Trump and Bondi are ripping it out — root and stem.

• No more DEI pilots
• No more unqualified air traffic controllers
• No more politics in the control tower

The America First movement is rewriting the rules of government bureaucracy.
It’s restoring safety, bringing back merit, and closing the chapter on Biden’s reckless social engineering.
