    I hope nobody expects him to learn anything. This will actually just reinforce his anti-DEI beliefs. He’ll blame the crash on the fact that the pilot was a woman, use that as proof that “DEI is making our military weaker”, and then start issuing executive orders banning women from piloting or even doing anything noteworthy in the military at all. Because doubling down on the stupid is what Trump does. It’s all he does. God help us if that woman was even 1% non-white.
