Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy received backlash after he suggested that Americans were not being hired because they were mediocre.

The former Republican presidential candidate believes Trump’s election could mark a cultural reset that "marks the beginning of a new golden era in America."

Americans have become mediocre and lazy from binging on culture like Friends, Vivek Ramaswamy said. In an appeal to hire migrant workers that sparked a furious row in Maga circles, Donald Trump ’s incoming government efficiency tsar attacked American culture for “venerating mediocrity over excellence”.
