Trump Accuses the FBI of ‘Corruption’ for Closing the DEI Office that He Promised to Eliminate

Psychological academics are going to have a field day researching and analyzing the myriad maladies that have plagued Donald Trump. His malignant narcissism, pathological lying, and delusions of grandeur will be just the appetizer in the bonkers banquet that Trump will serve up for history.

Donald Trump, MAGA

Trump is a bundle of raw nerves that are sparking wildly. Nothing triggers him like atrocities that he has previously embraced, or blessings that he previously condemned. He rambles incoherently on subjects ranging from Hannibal Lecter to being devoured by sharks. He is obsessed with authoritarian aspirations inspired by his heroes, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. And he is a treasure trove of hyperactive hypocrisies.

Trump provided a convenient example of his neuroses Friday morning in a post to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He was suffering another hissy fit over something that he considered to be an intolerable offense to humanity. So he furiously typed out – or more likely dictated – his dyspeptic diatribe saying that

“We demand that the FBI preserve and retain all records, documents, and information on the now closing DEI Office—Never should have been opened and, if it was, should have closed long ago. Why is it that they’re closing one day before the Inauguration of a new Administration? The reason is, CORRUPTION!”

It must be comforting to the current staff at the FBI that Trump regards them as corrupt. And they were already probably worried about his nominee to lead the Bureau, Kash Patel, who has zero experience managing a large law enforcement agency, and has declared that he would abuse his power to go after an enemies list of Trump critics.

What Trump was referring to in his post was a report that the Office of Diversity within the FBI would be shutting down prior to his inauguration. As reported by Mediaite

“’In recent weeks, the FBI took steps to close the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI), effective by December 2024,’ The FBI said in a statement to Fox News”

Notice that Trump was mistaken, as usual, about the office being shut down “one day before the Inauguration.” The article that he himself cited stated that the closure was announced a month ago. What’s more, Trump’s “demand” to preserve records was a meaningless outburst since all such government documents are routinely retained.

More troubling is Trump’s accusation that the FBI was plotting some sort of nefarious scheme connected to the Bureau’s office tasked with the “corrupt” responsibility of insuring equal opportunity and non-discrimination for all employees and applicants. What an awful objective for any civic enterprise to be undertaking. Trump and his MAGA minions have long opposed DEI (Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion), and have endeavored to eliminate all traces of it.

Nevertheless, it was that mission on the FBI’s part that infuriated Trump. And he wasn’t going to take it lying down. He labeled it “CORRUPTION,” that the Bureau would dare to shut the office down now. Never mind that that is precisely what Trump himself had promised to do during his campaign when he said nearly a year ago that on day one of his administration all “staff, offices, and initiatives” connected to the “un-American policy will be immediately terminated.” Mediaite elaborated saying that…

“Trump has previously signaled that he would seek to ban DEI in both the federal government and the private sector, labelling the programs ‘anti-white racism.’

“‘I think there is a definite anti-white feeling in this country and that can’t be allowed,’ the former president told Time magazine in May.

So to summarize, Trump is upset that the FBI’s equal opportunity office, that he said was anti-white racism, did exactly what he wanted them to do, which was corrupt, and they did it on the eve of his inauguration, that he seems to think was last December, and therefore, they must be ordered to retain documents that always retain anyway.

Okay. Got it! And this is the “stable genius” that the MAGA cult elected and who on Monday will be taking the oath of office that he has previously breached. Buckle up America.
