Even echoing his use of the acronym "DEI" helps Trump hide his bigotry. He means Blacks and women caused the crash - no amount of inclusivity programming could cause such an accident. It's pure hate and the media shouldn't water it down.
The major media is utterly failing to simply state that Trump is a vicious racist, who blames everything on presumed racial or ethnic minorities. How hard can it be to just say “In shockingly racist remarks Trump refuses to accept responsibility and blames deadly plane crash on minorities”

Every year, the World Economic Forum at Davos reports on the consensus of risks facing the world.

In the short-term, it's DISINFORMATION.

Long-term, it's CLIMATE CHANGE.

And, guess what, they're linked!
