"The Trump administration's war on woke has pushed a lot of large companies and institutes to retreat from the diversity, equity and inclusion policies they used to pretend to be proud of. But while DEI may be dead, WTF hiring is very much alive. Being Wealthy, Trumpy, and/or Fox News-famous seem to be the only qualifications you need for success in Trump's USA."
"Mrs Trump's leadership will mark the first time a sitting US first lady presides over the security council. Back in precedented times, you see, you generally needed a qualification or two to lead the security council. Now, however, we're squarely in the WTF economy: Melania is a Trump, ergo automatically qualified to do anything her little heart desires."
The Trump administration's opposition to diversity, equity, and inclusion policies has successfully pressured major companies and institutions to abandon DEI initiatives. However, this shift has not resulted in merit-based hiring practices. Instead, a new pattern of 'WTF hiring' has emerged where qualifications appear irrelevant compared to wealth, Trump affiliation, or Fox News prominence. Melania Trump's appointment to lead a UN Security Council session on children, technology, and education exemplifies this trend. Historically, such positions required substantial qualifications and experience. The first lady's selection marks an unprecedented moment where a sitting US first lady presides over the Security Council, suggesting that Trump family membership alone now constitutes sufficient qualification for major international roles.
