STFU @likepeterson 110 you and the rest of the Neanderthals need to wait to see what the cause of the crash was it’s hard dealing with you weirdos knowing that you are Not Humans you are incapable of All kinds of things that you mask by always focusing on what Everyone else is doing
Are we ever going to see statistics on this DEI he keeps complaining about? How many people were hired as DEI? What are your jobs? Those are heavy accusations and insults to throw out from the leader of the free world without any data supporting it. I don’t know if it’s 10 people. 100,000 people. Let’s see some DEI data to support this constant DEI rhetoric.
We don’t have any facts but we’re just gonna point fingers anyway???? The transportation guy just keeps thanking Trump instead of giving condolences. This is the most disgusting press conference I’ve ever seen.
Gotta pay respects to the new dictator I mean leader. You know he is replacing everyone in congress and high positions of power with sympathetic yes men right? He has an agenda and it isn't good for anyone but himself and the wealthy. Very sad times we are in for this nation
I mean I don't regularly watch these press conferences but are they always thanking the president that much for his leadership and so on and so forth? It almost feels like they're trying to compliment him as that's a way to get to that position in the current administration. They can't mean that it's good leadership to complain on the previous administration and DEI the day after such a tragic incident. Good leadership is taking responsibility for such an incident and making a thoroughly investigation to hinder it from ever happen again. Not speculating and giving opinions that aren't related to this incident
Regardless of who you are, to be an air traffic controller you have to go through a long strenuous training regimen. For him to insult the intelligence of any air traffic controller while the only thing he is naturally gifted at is lying and tax evasion is deplorable
Agree. I don’t know of any job or any job program that modifies job or training requirements because of the color of someone’s skin. That’s complete BS being spewed.
What a disgraceful statement from the president of the United States. Never let a good tragedy go to waste. He is quickly telling his cult how to think about the situation.
Stop speaking for me, you stupid lefty. I was thinking exactly what Trump said before he even said it. He’s right, of course DEI is an issue when you’re selecting air traffic controllers based on something other than intelligence and merit. Stop trying to pretend like I don’t have my own mind
@ what truth? He is wildly speculating about DEI hires being responsible for this tragedy. All the bodies aren’t out of the water yet and he is turning it into a platform to push his rhetoric. That is disgraceful. Let the investigation happen. After that, if it turns out this was a result of dei hiring practices then fine. But at this point his role is to offer condolences and assure that a full investigation will take place. That’s his role in this conference. Let the actual experts do the investigation
If committe didnt put good enough safety measures till up to a week ago when he fired them, nothing they would have done for these passengers and planes today.
Then have something ready to go. No excuses. All those executive orders and Trump didn't take the time to fix this critical problem, its a permanent stain on his Presidency. Very sad, and unacceptable. A hand picked failure
No matter what people say, this was a horrible response and horrible stance of leadership. As president, you are supposed to pull Americas together during times of struggle, why gas light an event where Americans died to further fuel your political agenda. Just disgraceful

This is nauseating. He blames "DEI" ... admits he has no evidence at all. I think all parties should wait for the NTSB investigation before drawing final judgement, but in fact evidence from the radio communications tells us what happened. The army helicopter was on a training flight; the jet was on descent into Reagan. In descent the jet is nose up and can't see under its nose well. The helicopter requested "visual separation" to avoid the jet traffic and confirmed they saw the jet. Obviously they didn't. They probably saw another aircraft that they thought was the jet. There is no evidence at all that this crash was anybody's direct fault other than the helicopter pilot's (and he's dead), GIVEN the established procedures at Reagan, that allow visual-separation. Reagan is incredibly busy and tight airspace, and Congress demands it be that way.

Rightly so,, Biden’s been in ‘charge’ for four years… Trump? 11 days. Trying to blame Trump for pilot or tower control and/or mechanical failure is the HEIGHT of ignorance, and ESPECIALLY in view of the fact that our government had been putting people in critical positions according to their genitals, and/or amount of melanins in their skin rather than education, experience, talent, skills and merit. What could go wrong?! Just take a look….
yea, because Biden would have been president for 4 full years at that point. Even if you think Trump policies will result in planes falling from the sky, which policies of his cause that a week into the administration?
Trump’s response to the DC plane crash: 1. Blame a person of color - before the facts are even out. 2. Make it about DEI - as if diversity caused the crash, not systemic failures. 3. Use it to justify gutting DEI - turning a tragedy into a political excuse. 4. Make it about himself - instead of the victims and their families. Furthermore, If being a “naturally talented genius” is the job requirement, why bother with the extensive training? Just let these prodigies walk in and take the controls.
People working in those positions should be hired on aptitude and mental stability yes, it's how they screen pilots and it should apply to air traffic control as well. These people have people's lives in their hands and without extreme competency...preventable accidents can happen.
@@AMBKdo you have proof these pilots are “DEI” hires? Do you have proof that “DEI” hires training is any different from non-“DEI” hires? Is every plane crash that ever happened because of “DEI”?

@@lukepeterson110he fired many important people in the past few days, so it’s not a “dark person” or a disabled person who’s responsible for this. Trump is directly responsible for these people who were killed.
Lmao I've made so many memes because of brain dead people like you 🤣 DONALD DUCK DRUMPF HAS BEEN PRESIDENT FOR A WEEK, WHY HASN'T HE FIXED EVERYTHING MAGATTS??? HAHAHA CHECKMATE OWNED
The Air Safety Advisory Committee solely handled policies, programs, rulemaking, and security directives pertaining to aviation security. They were in charge of TSA policies, which has nothing to do with the FAA who direct Air Traffic Control. The whole incident is the Black Hawks fault if you listened to the recording between Air traffic control and the pilots. The Black Hawk was warned of incoming Traffic and the Plane was told to maintain a altitude of 3000,yet the Black Hawk still collided into them at full speed.
@akayda3558 it's no use, just scream Donald duck drumpf orange man did it and you win. Modern day libs have never experienced critical thinking in their lives, you may as well be taking to a cat.
@ that’s not even what DEI is. Everyone has it wrong. DEI says that you cannot hire a black person just for being black, but you should hire a black person to diversify the workplace ONLY if they’re qualified. But DEI had absolutely nothing to do with this. The ATC was qualified. They don’t get that job without being qualified nor do pilots. This is just trumps way of pushing the DEI agenda. And he even says this is all his OPINION, none of it is fact. He’s using this TRAGEDY for the wrong reasons.
No empathy whatsoever, had to read with his head down, no emotion regarding the victims and families. No tears only blame and hate. Empty words....good luck America. My heart goes out to everyone immediately affected and the world.
Just a quick read through of his speech until he gets to the part where he starts assigning blame. He was no longer a stiff once he got into assigning blame. Even the moment of silence, the body language showed he was impatient and wanted to get past that even taking a look at everyone during it. A horrible, horrible response! No true empathy toward anyone.
He is trying to privatize the FAA has been During his first term, President Donald Trump proposed significant changes to the U.S. air traffic control (ATC) system, aiming to privatize it and separate it from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In June 2017, he announced principles for reforming the ATC system, advocating for the creation of an independent, non-governmental organization to operate the nation's airspace. This new entity would have the authority to adjust airspace routes and would be funded by user fees rather than taxes. The proposed reforms were intended to modernize the ATC system, reduce delays, and enhance safety. However, the initiative faced significant opposition and did not pass through Congress during his first term. As a result, the standards and operations of air traffic controllers remained under the jurisdiction of the FAA. As of January 2025, with President Trump returning to office, there is renewed interest in revisiting these reforms. The head of the FAA, Mike Whitaker, announced his resignation effective January 20, 2025, clearing the way for President Trump to appoint his successor. Additionally, former Wisconsin Representative Sean Duffy has been confirmed as the new Secretary of Transportation, a position that oversees the FAA. These developments suggest that the Trump administration may once again pursue changes to the ATC system, potentially impacting the standards and operations of air traffic controllers.
@@alecchakery6500 pretty sad . i hurt for this who lost their life and the families involved from both sides . i don’t see any sadness in him or any sympathy but i could be wrong 😢
The speech by President Trump is what you would expect when someone can only focus on how something impacts them. There wasn't empathy for the victims or their families, and I can't imagine how they felt watching this. Hopefully they didn't.
@@RickMartinRUclips A lame duck? He's more powerful than ever because he knows he's not having to run for re-election. He did more in 4 days than Biden did in 4 years. If you hate Trump, which you do, and something happens to him, which you hope, you get Vance. And, you're really not going to like him. In other words, you're a loser either way.
@@rrmin437Why did Trump not mention that the controller contacted and got a response from the helicopter one minute before the incidence and the helicopter asked for visual separation? Why did he only mention the second time the controller contacted the helicopter where the helicopter repeated the same request? That isn't what I understand behind telling the truth
@@sabedi2129 As much as people have to hate Trump because the media tells them to. If they judge without hate first, they will realize he's probably much more informed then us. And let's be honest, DEI is the exact opposite of MERIT when it comes to hiring policies. Not to mention DEI is the most racist thing I've ever heard of.
So now that he blamed the air traffic controllers, I guess that shift of controllers will have to take their families and leave for another state. Hopefully their families are safe when the Proud Boyz, and other released militia from Trump's private army track them down.
Blaming anyone without evidence is ridiculous at this point. Nobody wants to hear your policy right now or the lack of the previous administration. We want leadership and compassion.
He should have taken that moment of silence ( a full 20 seconds ) to review the pre written speech and sound out the big words. . And at 101.48.. by elevation I think he meant altitude. 🤦♂️
He doesn’t, you’ll notice he looks up and stays looking up after he referenced the specifics to the accident that happened less than 15 hours ago. Anyone would have to look down at a sheet that has all of those details.
Helicopter deliberately hitting a passenger airliner. That's what it looks like. Media titles saying the plane crashes into the helicopter is suspicious and looks like a prepared cover-up. Who was in that plane that they wanted so badly? We need the full passenger list and a full investigation. Family of victims need to sue the military: Night training near an airport with detection system deactivated sounds very, very strange.
His job is to use language as a means of placating people when such incidents occur, rather than to pretend that facial expressions can do the same thing. When we were kids, this was the defining factor which made adults different from us. It's also the reason why we paid attention to the adults when they talked. We certainly used facial expressions to placate each other ALL THE TIME, but it didn't work. He's been watching too much Dances With Wolves. Should veterinarians step in and say he's unfit to be the master of any pet? That's the existential crisis going on here. It reminds me of how Plymouth Rock was never a colony of any king, but they infiltrated the country using the Anti-George III "Revolution". We ought to strive to use correct English grammar in the responses, please: I'm an immigration expert who will be VERY THOROUGH in examining as much publicly-available information as possible: and I have always examined EVERYTHING that I'VE EVER been presented with. Take a deep breath and use your self-awareness to think of what would HELP Donald the most right now. If he's really a friend to you, you ought to remain dedicated to not being a bad influence on him. His mother would be very cross with you otherwise.
Wrote so much and said so little at the same time. He’s blaming a plane & helicopter collision on DEI. Has nothing to do with immigration. Bro blamed a method of education for a plane crash, as if that makes any sense. Also he’s not placating anything, he’s nonchalantly announcing the crash occurred, and then arguing that it’s Biden & Obama’s fault. Be an expert on Immigration all you want, it has nothing to do with the plane crash, this “placating” language has nothing to do with us “paying attention to adults” as kids
And if the investigation concludes “operator error” which it very well could, then many are inclined to just move on. Whether at the center of this incident or not, to hire traffic control and pilots on basis of anything but skill set is wrong. Unfortunately you can say that all day long but it may not resonate for many until disaster occurs.
It’s like watching a robot try and pretend to understand human emotions and empathy.
Psychopaths like Mrs. Musk don't feel empathy and often have a hard time faking it. He didn't even try to fake it.
Still better than Joe Biden, if you can't see that, your lying to yourself. lol

Trump has lost what little was left of his mind.
Without a doubt if Biden were still president after this event, Trump would be placing full responsibility on Biden, as would Fox News, et al.
Rightly so,, Biden’s been in ‘charge’ for four years… Trump? 11 days. Trying to blame Trump for pilot or tower control and/or mechanical failure is the HEIGHT of ignorance, and ESPECIALLY in view of the fact that our government had been putting people in critical positions according to their genitals, and/or amount of melanins in their skin rather than education, experience, talent, skills and merit. What could go wrong?! Just take a look….
yea, because Biden would have been president for 4 full years at that point. Even if you think Trump policies will result in planes falling from the sky, which policies of his cause that a week into the administration?
Without a doubt.
He's a defender for the American people, against all those that hate us.... Foreign and DOMESTIC. Especially domestic these days.
If Trump were president, this tragedy would never have happened. The war in Ukraine would also be over.
Trump’s response to the DC plane crash:
1. Blame a person of color - before the facts are even out.
2. Make it about DEI - as if diversity caused the crash, not systemic failures.
3. Use it to justify gutting DEI - turning a tragedy into a political excuse.
4. Make it about himself - instead of the victims and their families.
Furthermore, If being a “naturally talented genius” is the job requirement, why bother with the extensive training? Just let these prodigies walk in and take the controls.
People working in those positions should be hired on aptitude and mental stability yes, it's how they screen pilots and it should apply to air traffic control as well. These people have people's lives in their hands and without extreme competency...preventable accidents can happen.
I believe you just described the template for all of his press conferences for the next 4 years. Oh and blame Biden and Obama.
@@AMBKdo you have proof these pilots are “DEI” hires? Do you have proof that “DEI” hires training is any different from non-“DEI” hires? Is every plane crash that ever happened because of “DEI”?
@@ohheybih You seem to be quite angry and suffering from comprehension issues. I haven't mentioned DEI once in my statement. Read it again - maybe it will help because you're seriously reaching.
@@AMBK your comment implies people are being hired who don’t meet the job requirements. If I misunderstood your comment, apologies. But that DEI crap is very hurtful to people of color who have worked hard to get where we are…
Condolences from Germany. But is this guy out of his mind? The biiggest desaster I can perceive here is someone like this speaking over the body of a loved one of mine ....
There are plenty of mind blown Americans.
If you wrote down this whole speech and read it back. It could quite easily have been the words of a 4 year old.
Yessss
Emotional intelligence was very low here...
Any intelligence... Absent
Trump is expected to mention Qardun this week and the ICO is already almost sold out
Biden lost 😂
This is a scam.
You probably don't know this but 3 executives in the Trump Business that helped build his casinos in NJ were killed in a helicopter crash. When it happened the casinos were starting to lose money leading to what ultimately was one of Trump's bankruptcies. Trump blamed those executives posthumously for the casino's failure. This not a new despicable low for Trump, it's a pattern
Most people don't know that one, good facts. Re the casinos, his company was investigated for money laundering during that period. Then he stiffed employees and small building contractors, family businesses, when the company moved money to Florida and NYC.
The White House RUclips site has comments turned off. Shocker.
It's been turned off for years
my guy, it’s been turned off for years what are you on?? 💀💀
as they crawl under their rock and hide
I called the WH comment line and told WH to please tell Mr Trump to BE QUIET !
@@p.talbot2355 Good for you? I really don’t think they care-
He is talking about DEI in white male dominanted industries. he can be a very dark hearted person.
Crazy
The FAA chief that President. Musk FIRED 10 days ago was an experienced old white guy !
No, he is right. Diversity shouldn't be a priority in an essential profession.
@@lukepeterson110he fired many important people in the past few days, so it’s not a “dark person” or a disabled person who’s responsible for this. Trump is directly responsible for these people who were killed.
DJT purged the air safety board. He is solely responsible for this tragedy. As usual he is deflecting, distracting and lying!!
Lmao I've made so many memes because of brain dead people like you 🤣 DONALD DUCK DRUMPF HAS BEEN PRESIDENT FOR A WEEK, WHY HASN'T HE FIXED EVERYTHING MAGATTS??? HAHAHA CHECKMATE OWNED
The Air Safety Advisory Committee solely handled policies, programs, rulemaking, and security directives pertaining to aviation security. They were in charge of TSA policies, which has nothing to do with the FAA who direct Air Traffic Control. The whole incident is the Black Hawks fault if you listened to the recording between Air traffic control and the pilots. The Black Hawk was warned of incoming Traffic and the Plane was told to maintain a altitude of 3000,yet the Black Hawk still collided into them at full speed.
@akayda3558 it's no use, just scream Donald duck drumpf orange man did it and you win. Modern day libs have never experienced critical thinking in their lives, you may as well be taking to a cat.
Proof?
Really where have you been @@user-se8jo3eu6x
He is the biggest fool ever.
No..The individuals that voted for him are bigger fools. Without them he's worthless.
Camel toe calm down
like you dummycrat loosers
His little cult supporters ain’t going to like you speaking facts!
So what would you call Biden?
Is this what we have to hear for the next few years?
It is only going to get worse. This is the death throws of a nation hell bent on suicide.
I think he's just warming up😢
Unless he has a stroke and can’t talk
Yup
Elon and Trump both jumping on Qardun..
Gotta love this blatant mischaracterization of what DEI actually is and taking advantage of the situation for political gain.
The helicopter ran into the plane. Period.
Amazon will start supporting Qardun this week
Highly likely there will be partnerships between X or Tesla with Qardun
I cannot believe what I’m hearing. I’ll leave it at that.
That’s our Dolt in Chief. That’s what these clueless, racist, despicable redumblicans voted for.
No, he is right. Diversity shouldn't be a priority in an essential profession.
@ that’s not even what DEI is. Everyone has it wrong. DEI says that you cannot hire a black person just for being black, but you should hire a black person to diversify the workplace ONLY if they’re qualified. But DEI had absolutely nothing to do with this. The ATC was qualified. They don’t get that job without being qualified nor do pilots. This is just trumps way of pushing the DEI agenda. And he even says this is all his OPINION, none of it is fact. He’s using this TRAGEDY for the wrong reasons.

The real hero of the comments 💙
Trump makes me embarrassed to be American
I'm embarrassed that you're an American too
Move to the country of your choice.
@ I’d rather Make America a better place and stay in the country I love. I shouldn’t have to move because a Moron is elected President
lol leave
@@StoneColdBeardyour keystrokes are gonna make all the difference
Just embarrassing and dreadful comments. And this is supposed to be the leader of the Western democracies...😡
I cannot believe that I am listening to this rant coming from an American president.
Shame on you.!!!!
At least he could talk unlike the other one
He is a President of action.
It's going to be a long 4 years!!!
@@bear5505 as my brother says it’s even gonna be good for you my fellow Democrat, globalist
@aaronkatz2024 sorry about your brain injury
Wow a whole 5 minutes before he had to turn to “Obama bad!”
Disgaceful deflection and blame-laying. "We'll wait for the investigation but I have opinions about what happened."
😂😂😂😂
No empathy whatsoever, had to read with his head down, no emotion regarding the victims and families. No tears only blame and hate. Empty words....good luck America. My heart goes out to everyone immediately affected and the world.
Elaborate on policy
Our stable genius just gave the families a reason to sue the federal government by blaming hiring deranged air traffic controllers.
Mainstream media is going to cry about this Qardun coin so hard soon
Is he seriously saying disabled people aren't smart or can't be geniuses????
What the actual hell!!!
It sounds to me like that's what he was saying. Disabled people aren't capable??? What the h...?
No, he is right. Diversity shouldn't be a priority in an essential profession.
@@RhythmSectionSL no he’s not. He’s saying some people aren’t qualified for certain positions. It’s not that hard to understand
*can't be...grammar ftw
@@lukepeterson110 it never is. Candidates still have to meet requirements posted for positions. You have no idea what you are talking about.
Just a quick read through of his speech until he gets to the part where he starts assigning blame. He was no longer a stiff once he got into assigning blame. Even the moment of silence, the body language showed he was impatient and wanted to get past that even taking a look at everyone during it. A horrible, horrible response! No true empathy toward anyone.
cool story bro
He is trying to privatize the FAA has been
During his first term, President Donald Trump proposed significant changes to the U.S. air traffic control (ATC) system, aiming to privatize it and separate it from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In June 2017, he announced principles for reforming the ATC system, advocating for the creation of an independent, non-governmental organization to operate the nation's airspace. This new entity would have the authority to adjust airspace routes and would be funded by user fees rather than taxes.
The proposed reforms were intended to modernize the ATC system, reduce delays, and enhance safety. However, the initiative faced significant opposition and did not pass through Congress during his first term. As a result, the standards and operations of air traffic controllers remained under the jurisdiction of the FAA.
As of January 2025, with President Trump returning to office, there is renewed interest in revisiting these reforms. The head of the FAA, Mike Whitaker, announced his resignation effective January 20, 2025, clearing the way for President Trump to appoint his successor. Additionally, former Wisconsin Representative Sean Duffy has been confirmed as the new Secretary of Transportation, a position that oversees the FAA. These developments suggest that the Trump administration may once again pursue changes to the ATC system, potentially impacting the standards and operations of air traffic controllers.
All radical leftists on this comment section, I forgot this is the Washington Post lmao
@@m42037Just an honest question, I'm neither republican nor democrat, what is radical in this comment section?
@@sabedi2129 There is nothing “radical” here except from dumps followers.
If Trump puts at least $200,000 in Qardun, I am going all in
You know what they say a fool and his money soon go their separate ways. Go for it , bro!
What a clown! MAGA you are to blame for this
…I honestly can’t believe this is real life right now…
@@alecchakery6500 pretty sad . i hurt for this who lost their life and the families involved from both sides . i don’t see any sadness in him or any sympathy but i could be wrong 😢
The speech by President Trump is what you would expect when someone can only focus on how something impacts them. There wasn't empathy for the victims or their families, and I can't imagine how they felt watching this. Hopefully they didn't.
This speech was just bad taste
he is using this platform and the deaths to booster his own ego and put down his competition . what an a,,,,,,,,,,,
Better yet he was the one that fired people involved with airline safety right before this happened.
Jerk. You can say it
Reagan fired all air traffic controllers and we've never fully recovered and now he fires NTSA heads. Disgusting
Why was there a military helicopter flying in a commercial airline's known path? Who was responsible for their training?
New DUI secretary of the military.
They have been flying there for years
Maybe they were sent to pick up immigrants!
he really tried to blame this on Dei wow...
I can not stand this tyrant.
1. Who does his make up. 2. Who is his speech writer. 3. Reads it like a zombie.
It sounds like a 6th graders history report… the first 10 mins especially
Who does his bald head n hair top of left ear to top of left eye
His lips look so white like its covered with his foundation. I just don’t get it
love from Canada. If you have FACE BOOK KINDLY READ, HEAR SHARE.

He's just eager to get back to his golf game.
When will people get tired of all these rumblings and grievances...
too late -and his a lame duck so we're stuck with him unless he dies in office unexpectantly
You mean the truth? Never.
@@RickMartinRUclips A lame duck? He's more powerful than ever because he knows he's not having to run for re-election. He did more in 4 days than Biden did in 4 years. If you hate Trump, which you do, and something happens to him, which you hope, you get Vance. And, you're really not going to like him. In other words, you're a loser either way.
@@rrmin437Why did Trump not mention that the controller contacted and got a response from the helicopter one minute before the incidence and the helicopter asked for visual separation? Why did he only mention the second time the controller contacted the helicopter where the helicopter repeated the same request? That isn't what I understand behind telling the truth
@@sabedi2129 As much as people have to hate Trump because the media tells them to. If they judge without hate first, they will realize he's probably much more informed then us. And let's be honest, DEI is the exact opposite of MERIT when it comes to hiring policies. Not to mention DEI is the most racist thing I've ever heard of.
47 is a monster
He always blaming someone else for that
I wonder how many air traffic controllers got his payoff email?
Are you suggesting it was nobody's fault?
@@Hambone3773 It wasn't the ATCs fault at least. Just look up the ATC tape from the incident on RUclips
@@sabedi2129 Never said it was the ATC's fault. But somebody definitely is at fault.
@@Hambone3773 Never said that you said it. Trump is although with his remarks indicating that it's the ATCs fault because of DEI.
So glad he didn’t blame white people, every other race yes. I was relieved!
It's not too late to delete this comment. I pray GOD changes your heart.
GOD bless
I hope this is satire 😭😭😭🙏
DOT secretary kissing butt is disgusting
The people affected because of this just want their loved ones back. It’s very very saddening if all those deaths happen to just prove an agenda
What he is reading is the restrictions for being an air traffic controller. If this man's mouth is moving, he is lying.
Anyone with any clue of ATC requirement and exams would immediately know he's spewing heavy bs
Racist blame game
Talking about needing the best and brightest and we have a bunch of idiots up there grumbling.
So now that he blamed the air traffic controllers, I guess that shift of controllers will have to take their families and leave for another state. Hopefully their families are safe when the Proud Boyz, and other released militia from Trump's private army track them down.
Blaming anyone without evidence is ridiculous at this point. Nobody wants to hear your policy right now or the lack of the previous administration. We want leadership and compassion.
Why, oh Why, do you have to stoop down to attack others in this speech. Why not just report and express out sympathies to the families.
Because he’s a divider. It’s crazy to see our country go down this path. It’s only going to continue to get worse…
Holy cow did he just blame DEI 🤦🏻♂️
And people who are paralyzed, missing limbs, dwarfism, etc.
He should have taken that moment of silence ( a full 20 seconds ) to review the pre written speech and sound out the big words. . And at 101.48.. by elevation I think he meant altitude. 🤦♂️
I thought he didn’t need to read off anything?
He doesn’t, you’ll notice he looks up and stays looking up after he referenced the specifics to the accident that happened less than 15 hours ago. Anyone would have to look down at a sheet that has all of those details.
So investigation is over, trump just solved it. Done. Where's my tap shoes?
Didn’t know Timmy from South Park worked with Flight control
What an embarrassment.
President Blame
he can barely read
“DEI hires have ruined the integrity of our air traffic control … but Americans should feel perfectly safe to fly.” lol 😅
It was Biden and Obama’s fault😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 what a joke
Forgot the moment of silence
So much of what chump said is categorically incorrect. He was in no position to make accusations the way he did.
he’s kind of the president of the United States
He said to join in a moment of silence but didn’t even take a moment of silence….. just kept rambling
Helicopter deliberately hitting a passenger airliner. That's what it looks like.
Media titles saying the plane crashes into the helicopter is suspicious and looks like a prepared cover-up. Who was in that plane that they wanted so badly? We need the full passenger list and a full investigation.
Family of victims need to sue the military: Night training near an airport with detection system deactivated sounds very, very strange.
Amen
You are right on
It was Reagan’s fault. After all, it’s his airport.
Those darn Wright Brothers started the whole flying thing, blame them.
@ now wait. Were they Democrats or Republicans?
His job is to use language as a means of placating people when such incidents occur, rather than to pretend that facial expressions can do the same thing.
When we were kids, this was the defining factor which made adults different from us. It's also the reason why we paid attention to the adults when they talked. We certainly used facial expressions to placate each other ALL THE TIME, but it didn't work.
He's been watching too much Dances With Wolves.
Should veterinarians step in and say he's unfit to be the master of any pet? That's the existential crisis going on here.
It reminds me of how Plymouth Rock was never a colony of any king, but they infiltrated the country using the Anti-George III "Revolution".
We ought to strive to use correct English grammar in the responses, please: I'm an immigration expert who will be VERY THOROUGH in examining as much publicly-available information as possible: and I have always examined EVERYTHING that I'VE EVER been presented with.
Take a deep breath and use your self-awareness to think of what would HELP Donald the most right now. If he's really a friend to you, you ought to remain dedicated to not being a bad influence on him. His mother would be very cross with you otherwise.
Wrote so much and said so little at the same time.
He’s blaming a plane & helicopter collision on DEI. Has nothing to do with immigration. Bro blamed a method of education for a plane crash, as if that makes any sense. Also he’s not placating anything, he’s nonchalantly announcing the crash occurred, and then arguing that it’s Biden & Obama’s fault. Be an expert on Immigration all you want, it has nothing to do with the plane crash, this “placating” language has nothing to do with us “paying attention to adults” as kids
Presser starts at 35:05
What is he talking about!!! Devil
this guy sucks
WHY IS IT ALWAYS ABOUT HIMSELF BUT HE CANT EVEN DO HIS JOB??
trump talking out his butt instead of letting the FAA reveal the cause and effect .
No need for an expensive investigation. Donald Trump has spoken.
Muppets
And if the investigation concludes “operator error” which it very well could, then many are inclined to just move on. Whether at the center of this incident or not, to hire traffic control and pilots on basis of anything but skill set is wrong. Unfortunately you can say that all day long but it may not resonate for many until disaster occurs.
He really looks like an
“Oompa Loompa” lmao!
Blame blame blame, blah blah blah!!!
What does the articles have to do with the disaster?
