3. Why doesn't Trump go after NASCAR? They've had a DEI program for over twenty years.

It was called the NASCAR Diversity and Inclusion Program, set up years ago to attract non-white, women and foreign drivers to the sport, and expand NASCAR's traditionally white, southern, conservative audience. They still have the same program, but now it's called the "NASCAR Driver Education program." They quietly changed the name when Trump made DEI a huge issue.

Why doesn't Trump go after the NFL for the Rooney Rule? That's the league policy that requires all teams to interview minority head coaches, and encourages their hiring. NFL teams are also hiring women position and assistant coaches, and using women as game officials.

Or how about the USGA for their Golf Handicapping System? That's the golf DEI program that allows everyone to compete on the same level, no matter what their abilities. Trump has an official handicap of 2.8, according to the Golf Handicap & Information Network, so he can "win" all those tournaments.
