White man’s burden
By 
The Trump administration engages in gaslighting and doublethink all the time of course, but in no area of law and public policy is this more flagrant than in the realm of civil rights and affirmative action.
As this piece (gift link) makes clear, the administration’s position is that affirmative action is bad, unless it’s being used to advance the interests of white men, who are the most discriminated-against group in America today. (As so often a straightforward description of the administration’s position sounds like bizarre hyperbole). In particular, the Trump administration is attacking disparate impact analysis, which has been the traditional tool for doing a first cut analysis of whether racial and gender discrimination is happening in some context. For example 46 of the 47 US presidents have been white men, although the proportion of white men in the US population has never been more than 45% and is currently below 30%. This suggests, to cultural Marxists anyway, something other than a pure merit-based process.
Disparate impact analysis is always bad, unless it’s used to prove white men are being discriminated against, in which case it’s good. Again this is the literal position of the administration.
During his campaign for president, Mr. Trump expressed concern about what he called “a definite anti-white feeling in this country.” Now in his second term, he has made quick work of addressing it. He has made a major push to root out programs that promote diversity, which he has suggested lead to the hiring of incompetent people.
No prior presidential administration in American history has produced anything even vaguely resembling the assembly of incompetent clowns that make up the principal officers of the executive departments in the second Trump administration, and that includes his first go-around.
The First White President remains the single best analysis of exactly why Donald Trump was elected president in the first place.
