Trump Bans ‘Equity’ in Federal Hiring: ‘Our Country’s Going to Be Based on Merit Again’
by
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order banning the use of Marxism-based “equity” as a consideration for the hiring of federal workers.
Trump enforced the new rule while signing a flurry of executive orders shortly after he was sworn into office for his second term on Monday.
The order seeks to overhaul the federal hiring process and prioritize merit while selecting workers.
Trump’s order asserts that the government will now prioritize hiring based on skills, experience, and patriotism and not a person’s gender or race.
The executive order was one of the many signed by Trump to implement reform and reverse the policies put in place by former President Joe Biden.
This is a big deal. Merit,” Trump said as he signed the executive order.
“Our country’s going to be based on merit again, can you believe it?”
