Sunny Hostin Criticizes Trump as a 'DEI Hire' on 'The View'

The co-host of 'The View' argued that President Trump’s rise lacked merit and highlighted contradictions in his stance on diversity policies.

Sunny Hostin referred to President Trump as a 'DEI hire,' redefining the term to mean 'didn't earn it' during a discussion on 'The View.'
Hostin criticized Trump’s promise to create a 'merit-based' society while simultaneously revoking federal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs.
She highlighted Martin Luther King Jr.'s advocacy for racial and economic equality, contrasting it with Trump’s policies and inauguration speech on MLK Day.
Hostin argued that Trump’s wealth and political career were largely inherited or unearned, citing his lack of prior political or business accomplishments.
Trump’s new executive order directs federal agencies to terminate DEI programs, continuing a broader Republican push against such initiatives.
