Trump isn't just looking to eliminate diversity in government, he's organizing a wrecking crew [View all]

...to be sure, Trump's elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion standards is about ensuring he can fit enough of the white men he likes into government positions which are now occupied with a diversity of men and women willing and qualified to lawfully carry out the people's business in the agencies that employ them.

Trump's main aim is to place people in those positions of leadership in government agencies and oversight positions who will bend to his intention to steer the efforts of those agencies to his narrow interests.

That includes both his personal enrichment and the acquiescence of our government resources to benefit his wealthy benefactors and friends, as well as the evisceration of any federal government oversight or limits on harmful or corrupt activities of business and corporations where our health, safety, jobs, incomes, or livelihoods are at risk.

As egregious as it will be to take away hiring efforts which benefit our government's recruitment of qualified applicants from a diversity of our nation's communities, Trump is just using deserved controversy over ending DEI as a smokescreen for his replacing of people hired for what they know and what they can do to enrich our government, with others hired for who they know and what they are willing to do to neuter and advantage government in Trump's personal interest and favor.
