First responders were still recovering bodies from the Potomac River Thursday when President Trump told the nation that his predecessors, Democrats and diversity were to blame for Wednesday night’s fatal collision.

Exactly who's in charge now? How does Trump blame Pete Buttegieg & Biden for the plane crash yet he has fired authorities responsible for aviation traffic & safety.
It's like baseball. When a pitcher leaves the game, any runners on base are attributed to him, not the relief pitcher. That is where we are right now. Biden and Pete left the bases loaded.
There were still people working there. Report wasn’t necessarily by the one in charge. The controller was juggling planes and helicopters due to staff shortages
Air traffic control has been understaffed for years. And flying in or out of DCA has always been terrifying. I always chose Dulles when doing business in DC. Which makes me wonder why we should be training helicopter pilots in such a busy and tight airspace.
Although Elon Musk is reported to be responsible for the FAA director resigning. Is this true? Would anyone at the Post be allowed to verify if this is true?
Remember it's a strategy to shock and overwhelm the population with an overload of lies and disinformation. The goal is to confuse and make ppl tired in order to numb them.
It's a known strategy on the road to Autocracy.
So stay awake and resist!
PAUSE: The man who, on Day 1, ditched the head of the FAA & 200 FAA Chiefs blamed who?
He read it, badly, off of paper. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner did it right.
Do you think Fox News portrays him exactly how he is? At today’s address he had to be shown in real time and he came across as vile but the magats are rah rah for him,even when he’s blatantly being his true self
trump went on to say the cause of the crash is obvious to him
"Because I have common sense, and unfortunately a lot of people don't,"
'It was caused by illegal,dangerous, cartel, DEI hired, Joe Biden family members, who belong to Mexican drug gangs... who were eating Dawg instead of working'...
WAPO, come on, forget what Bezos the clown wants you to write, get blunt and to the point. Treat him like he wants to take your jobs away from you...which he intends to do!
Dems always feel compelled to follow the rules and political conventions. It’s in their DNA.
Trump is breaking all barriers, and tests if he can go further. Dems need to face that reality, and I I’m putting this very mildly.
Do you all even realize what he's doing? He is telling lies about democrats so that future generations are never going to vote democrats and we could lose our grip on the US government for the unforeseeable future because of it.
So let’s see… Dems can’t nominate a SCOTUS justice during their last year in office, but after they leave, they’re still responsible for everything forever. They’re lame ducks, but also all-powerful. Does that about sum it up?
Last week, just days after his inauguration, Donald Trump eliminated the membership of a key committee that handles aviation security. And on Wednesday night, a passenger plane collided with a military helicopter in the Washington, D.C., area.
“Just one week prior to Wednesday’s deadly crash, Trump fired the head of the Transportation Security Administration and all members of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee. “-democracynow
This is an unmitigated DISASTER. This moron with a 3rd grade reading and comprehension level using this tragedy to advance his nonsensical and nonexistent platform...I cannot even. This is a new low, even for him. #disgusting
What a disgusting coward. It was HIS inclusion of the worse greedy grabby grifters and their petty grievances who caused this. Don't be fooled by deflection. Trump is a whiny beast in a suit and he's headed for the pit.
No matter what he does, how he fails, how awful he gets - it will always be blamed on Democrats. Republicans are never responsible for anything, ever. We could have 20 years of Republican governance & it would still be put on Dems.
I hope the people around President Trump are being honest about his mental capacities. This is not the response of somebody who is oriented to the situation.
I can not even with him anymore!!! Instead of ass kissing, cocksucking yes-men the orange, pants shitting, racist, felon boy needs to have fucking HANDLERS!!
Fuck everyone who voted for this asshat!!
Why are we asking Rapeler about airplanes? He sits and shits in them, and nothing he's ever said indicates that he's capable of understanding how they stay off the ground. You all just need to stop asking him for information aside from topics in his area of expertise: rape, fraud, and treason.
He should SHUT THE FUCK UP
They’re still pulling bodies out of the river and he’s throwing DEI shit around. Can he get ANY MORE DISRESPECTFUL AND DISGUSTING?
Seeing some maga neighbors tat are disgusted by his behavior regarding the DC crash. But unfortunately they have short memories and will snap back after the first racist dog whistle that finds more appeal to theirs.
And on top of this tragedy, it is pitiful that there are people who are actually clapping and going yeah he’s right it’s DEI and the Democrats fault and the prior to administrations. Absolutely disgusting .
Trump made cuts to FAA last week and look what happened. Also FEMA.
Trump also blocked CDC and FDA from active monitoring and reporting.
He also plans to go after NOAA.
So this is REAL freedom, you're on your own. Wait till bridges start collapsing he's cutting transportation funding.
Why pay taxes?
Do better WAPO. Are your weak headlines indicative of your fear of the orange one, or the owner of your paper? If so, you're no longer a reliable news source. Same goes for the NYT.
With every hour that passes the evidence mounts as to why Donny Convict has absolutely no business being in the Oval. I just hope that no one I personally know becomes a fatality of his ad incompetence & inhumanity
I really hope both sides are careful in the blame game. If it turns out understaffing and one person was doing the job of 2, that person is still going to feel extreme responsibility. In our push to prove it wasn’t dei, someone may end up hurt.
🇺🇸👎👑🎃👈🏼🤬💬That F’n MoFu Placing The Blame On DEI Minorities When He Is To Blame. Since He Started In Office, It’s Been One Bad Decision After Another…Poor Choices At Picking His Cabinet/Poor Choices At Attempting To Freeze Funds That Ended Badly-SHAME ON tRumpkin’s Mentally Deteriorating Logic…BEWARE!
It’s obvious that the helicopter hit the plane and not the other way around so why are they blaming Campos? I wish people would wake up…especially his supporters. No one is untouchable in this chaos!
Why did Trump select a Aviation Association lobbyist to lead the FAA? Lobbyist will protect the profits of their industry; NOT protect the public. Lobbyists demand less regulation which means less protection! A disastrous appointee & the rest of the Trump cabinet. They are all lobbyists!
Donald Trump has not a single redeeming human quality. They aren’t even finished pulling the bodies out of the river and he’s blaming Obama and Biden and DEI. METHINKS HE DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH!
🤣 this oompa-loompa mf'er.
"Forget the investigation boys, the boss got it figured out. It was Biden, see? And Obama. Yeah and then the brown people came and the plane hit the helicopter!"
1. The media is complicit. They should have pressed Trump for the disaster he has created with the firing of the FAA officials. Just days after doing this, disaster struck. Now he is blaming Obama standards.
“Michael Whitaker stepped down as FAA administrator on January 20th, after clashing with Elon Musk, whose company SpaceX is regulated by the agency. Musk publicly called on Whitaker to resign after the FAA fined SpaceX for failing to get approval for launch changes.” Post from the Verge
Seriously? Instead of focusing on the tragedy and supporting the victims, we're pointing fingers? This is heartbreakingc. We need leadership and unity, not blame games. My thoughts are with the families affected by this horrible accident. #DCPlanecrash
WAPO I hope you can get your hands on the original FAA investigation findings when ready BEFORE Trump and Duffy have it rewritten to reflect their unfounded assertions in yesterday’s press conference.

Kudos to the reporter here who reports clearly about the Emperor having no clothes.

Deplorable and disgusting to blame it on DEI. He’s a DEI hire! He’s in the job only because he’s an old white man.
Trump is breaking all barriers, and tests if he can go further. Dems need to face that reality, and I I’m putting this very mildly.

But are any of us sane, sensible people surprised?
Deflect & blame. I was waiting for him to blame the moon.
God bless the victims, their families & first responders. ❤️
can’t buy anyone INTELLIGENCE
or CLASS!
May the memories of the deceased be for blessings. 😓💔🕯️
Fuck everyone who voted for this asshat!!
Until journalists pull their heads out of their asses and start using better words to explain situations, the nation is fucked.
Democracy dies when balless billionaires owns newspapers.
Oh nooo
