They didn’t gut the department of education, they cut the budget by 15% which makes it the same as 2020, they also didn’t ban DEI in teachers. Trump also “banned” federal DEI while spouting about how diverse his cabinet hires are. Are we now pretending Kash and Bondi were hired on merit now? The fact is you can’t “ban” DEI, it’s been “illegal” for decades yet magically was enforced the entire time because laws only matter if you enforce them. What government entities has Trump shut down for DEI hiring? Also USAID is a foreign aid agency, so not sure what stupid you’re spouting there.

Trump signed an executive order to dismantle the institution, the bureaucracy prevented him from doing it. he's currently dismantling it in every way he can, including firing workers.
he didn't ban DEI teachers
yes he did, the schools are just rebranding them to get around it.
Are we now pretending Kash and Bondi were hired on merit now?
banning dei doesn't mean the government magically becomes 100% White male. it just means the government can no longer use race or sex quotas. applicants have to be hired on merit. I will agree that Trump's I for merit is not very good.
USAID is a foreign aid agency, so not sure what stupid you’re spouting there.
USAID funded dei initiatives worldwide, including initiatives that came back home through roundabout money laundering. entire DEI organizations collapsed overnight when the funding dried up.

no moving goal posts. I said Trump has banned dei in government institutions, no one ever insinuated that institutions were shut down.
however on the subject of withholding funding for dei, let me Google that for you:

No, he played word salad and legalese in an EO that everyone knew wouldn’t happen, they also haven’t done shit except a 15% budget cut, like I said.
The order instructs Education Secretary Linda McMahon to take all necessary steps to close the department "to the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law," though complete abolition would require congressional approval, as the Department’s programs are authorized and funded by Congress.
He played you
yes he did, the schools are just rebranding them to get around it.
Holy shit you’re dense. They don’t have to “rebrand”, high schools are 80% plus female teachers that didn’t happen as a result of natural markets, the teachers union forced DEI for decades and Trump has done literally nothing. They rebranded DEI departments names, not hires, not practices, not results.

So it literally does nothing because the system is already in place? Wow it’s almost like everyone knew “banning” it wouldn’t do shit when you DONT FIRE EVERYONE WHO ENGAGED IN IT.

That’s a hilarious lie. The “roundabout” was USAID funding US leftist organizations to promote DEI globally or write up propaganda. That’s still not money going directly to DEI initiatives in federal employment.

If DEI was actually banned, half of government positions (if not more) would be vacated overnight, that never happened, the swamp is still running the show. Again, if discrimination was happening (it was) then the immediate action would be firing and suing those that did it, none of which has happened.
While we’re at it, the subway project “withholding” was because they had an entire “civil rights staff” specifically assigned to discriminate. Again, if they just keep the people, practices, and rebrand the name Trump won’t care. They already did that with schools, nothing changed.
The second one was literally just undoing a Biden initiative.
Rivera-Wymes said the grant was suspended because it was tied to a Community Benefits Plan — a Biden-era requirement that ensured federal subsidies created jobs and improved living conditions in underserved areas.
None of this is actually tackling the problem, nor is it even close to touching the disastrous CRA.
it seems you're just dooming. Trump is doing everything in his presidential power, the bureaucracy keeps pulling him back. the reality is nothing substantial is going to change unless there is a unified executive branch, congress, and senate. if you expected the president to waive a magic wand and literally fix everything, you're the one who's being played.
Gutted the Department of education, banned dei in government institutions, eliminated USAID which funded a lot of this bullshit, just to name a few.
there's more that can be done, and the opposition is doing everything in their power to hamstring the efforts, but things are being done.
