Is Donald Trump personally carrying out all the acts he's condemned for?

Is it really unreasonable to say that pushing for diversity was a notable goal of the Obama administration?

Based on the signed executive orders yes.

Donald Trump is, indeed, personally signing the executive orders instructing the US government to do a lot of questionable things. Obama, by contrast, did not sign an executive order directing the FAA to hire unqualified air traffic controllers.

Of course, bureaucrats do stupid shit when they are attempting to please their masters, and this is a prime example. But that does not absolve them of their responsibility in dreaming it up and executing it.
