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 far the administration has been slammed, dunked, embarrassed, imploded, rebuked, and many more horrible-sounding synonyms fifty times over! One can only imagine they're on their last leg.

Right, The Humanist Report, The Damage Report, TYT, Bryan Tyler Cohen, Secular Talk, et al.? 🙄
