Summary

The Trump administration is facing backlash after reports that the Defense Department flagged over 26,000 images for deletion due to alleged connections to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

Among them are photos of trailblazing pilots, including the Tuskegee Airmen and Col. Jeannie Leavitt.

Most controversially, an image of the WWII aircraft Enola Gay was flagged, seemingly because its name includes the word "gay."

The revelation has sparked mockery online, with critics calling this "the STUPIDEST administration in American history."

So...

Nixon (corrupt and rotten but did some useful things)

Fold (unelected)

Reagan (jelly beans, stupid phrases, blatant lies)

Bush I (Actually cunning, but did throw up on Japanese Prime Minister)

Bush II (Stupid, bushism )

Trump (Worse than Bush II)

The Republicans are not sending their best.

it's a callback to

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
