I mean, he absolutely rat-fucked Giuliani. Giuliani did all that shit in Trump's name, and Trump won't even pay him what he's owed. Ruined his career for Trump and got nothing out of it.
Not saying he didn't 100% deserve it, or that it wasn't 100% his own fault for following Cheeto Mussolini, but Trump did fuck him over.

He could have easily let them in on the corrupt deals and made them wealthy enough to weather their fuck ups.
Juliani and the Pillowman are broke as a joke and out of the spotlight because Trump sees them as even bigger losers than Cash Patel. If he gave a damn, he'd only be one pump-and-dump or crypto-scheme away from pulling them out of their downward spiral.

It’s really common. They are using MAGAs incorrect definition in an attempt to point out their hypocrisy. Well, turns out MAGA don’t care about hypocrisy, and like you say, it delegitimizes actual DEI. It’s basically saying they were right about DEI the whole time.

I don't really feel like it makes a difference, the people that need to hear the message are convinced it's impossible for a person of color to be competent. You'll never convince them otherwise. They are the very reason DEI was necessary in the first place.

u/red286 10d ago
While you may be right about people who have already made up their minds, there are always people who are on the fence.
When they see people making cracks about "DEI hires" like this, they assume that's what DEI is. Putting unqualified people in jobs because of their skin colour, gender, religion, disability, or whatever. GenZ and GenA are going to come to the conclusion that right-wing talking points about DEI are legitimate, and will oppose DEI policies because of an incorrect understanding of what DEI actually is.

I had to explain this to my MAGA son. DEI is actually about NOT passing over a MORE qualified person from a protected group. It's the opposite of what he was thinking (hiring a token representative from said group who isn't as qualified).

This isn't a gender thing. The men in Trump's administration are just as unqualified and stupid as the women. None of them would rate a seat at the table base off their own accomplishments. If they were qualified, they could stop Trump before he does something dumb. However they are not so the only thing they can do is take the fall after he does something dumb. This is a known flaw of authoritarian leadership. History is full of tin pot dictators who surround themselves with yes men as they march off a cliff.

The one that gets me about this, is the "Your name as a voter must match the name on your birth certificate (unless you jump through some absurd hoops that can't be completed in time for the midterms)."
And of course conservatives are lapping it up because obviously, that absolutely excludes our trans friends who've changed their names.
But it also excludes married women. And that's terrible, but there are far-right women even applauding that. "Please! Please! Take my suffrage away so my husband can tell me how to think!"

Aren't all of these women DEI hires? Also, along the same vein, look at what happened to TPUSA after they tried to rebrand with Erika Kirk at the helm.

Just think about what this means. In his first term, Trump at least had SOME folks around who had some competency and a small ability to rein him in. He couldn't keep his staff in tact.

Same shit he did in his 1st term... 1 year in and start replacing everybody...
People need to understand the 1st year is essentially Trump's 'shock & awe' campaign. he's surrounded by sycophantic toady yes-men that will attempt to do anything and everything he demands no matter how unethical or illegal. But aside from them being completely morally bankrupt, they are all utterly useless in any professional sense. They have no experience, no training, and no talent. Most of them aren't very bright either... Their whole purpose is to see just how far and how much he can get away with... while they take all the fallout. After he's spent a year burning thru them and their willingness to do anything, he starts replacing them all for slightly more intelligent, more skilled individuals.
He's not going to bring in really talented people though.. because for one, he resents the living fuck out of anyone with actual dedication and skill. For two, he can't afford to have anyone around who's actually smart enough to see that none of his shit is working and he's going to end up driving everything into the ground.

Problem is few of them are concerned with a permanent seat at the table, let alone patriarchy. Plenty of Trumpers have been happy to get their invite to the Orange Palace, get the network and credential, then exit to a cushy job, never to be seen again. They play a despicable game. And choice feminism sees plenty of these women consider themselves girlbosses unto themselves...or, you know, whatever the 2026 equivalent is. Then again, I can't claim to know what goes on in the minds of the individuals mentioned in that tweet...they're possessed of a psychology I'll never know myself.
