‘The Little Couple’ Jen Arnold Slams Donald Trump On DEI
Jen Arnold, a little person formerly on TLC’s The Little Couple slammed Donald Trump because of his stance on DEI. It stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and covers a range of people formerly underrepresented or discriminated against. As a professional medical specialist with disabilities, the TLC alum feels it’s wrong to prevent the advancement of people like her in the federal government.
Jen Arnold Is Popular On TV & Social Media
When The Little Couple ended, TLC fans felt upset because they loved Bill Klien, the kids, Will and Zoey, and their mom. Many people admired Jen because she beat cancer, struggled with her small size, and yet excelled in her professional life.
The popular little person worked as the medical director of John Hopkins All Children’s Simulation Center in St Petersburg, Florida. Later, she transferred to Boston, where she not only continued her work but was also affiliated with Harvard. The thing is, the program is not just about being trans, it covers almost anyone who might have been historically disenfranchised.
The Little Couple Star Talks Unfairness
Donald Trump upset a lot of people since he took office this year. Not all of his voters are upset, but those directly affected by his policies voice their concerns. Even some people in California complain after his directives about water resources.
Jen Arnold took to her Instagram and spoke about DEI. Later, the subject was discussed on Reddit. Calmly and without ranting, she let her followers know that she feels suspending those in office from the program is wrong. Bear in mind, that the president also made changes to the FAA after the recent helicopter collision.
Fans Discuss The Issue
The OP on Reddit mentioned the former reality TV star discussed comments made by the president regarding the initiatives and their supposed role in a tragic plane and helicopter crash. She believed that there is harm in attributing such accidents to marginalized groups.
Listing her vast accomplishments and how she actually had to work harder to break through structural ableism to do [so] and how her responsibilities as a little person and “reality star” is to bring light to these issues.
Naturally, the post sparked a conversation. Here are some of the comments and ideas expressed:
- I wonder what Steve Hawking would have to say to Trump for his latest comments.
- [DJT]…called out all disabilities and added dwarfism at [the] end.
- Trump included examples of some of the disabilities and conditions that are listed on the FAA’s website, including individuals missing extremities, paralysis, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism, among others.
