"severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, or other mental or physical conditions"
I thought he was talking about his supporters.
Himself
...or understaffed air traffic control where controllers have to do 2 jobs at once. Then you have a helicopter pilot who was not following ATC instructions.
Nepotism(hiring unqualified friends and family) is far more rampant and way more destructive than DEI policies ever could be. DEI policies may help unqualified people gain low level positions, but with nepotism it's usually high level positions.
For those keeping score, in his journey to fuhrer, you can mark this spot on your "classification of people Trump will put in camps" bingo card.
He's talking about himself, isn't Trump?
Yeah, refuting an argument by saying "other stuff is at fault" is the work of a true well educated and informed intellectual.
And definitely not the sign of a massive narcissist.
Ah, right, of course the FAA is plopping unqualified people down in air traffic controller chairs to fulfill diversity goals, just like fits with Don's delusions. Except that isn't happening, ATC's have to undergo a rigorous physical and mental health check. There are plenty of other jobs in the FAA that this policy applies to.
He's going to use this as an excuse to repeal the Americans with Disabilities Act. I'm calling it.
Nostradamus [Belle] two days ago:
"If they keep the details quiet [of the recent closed-door meeting], you'll be able to tell what they're going after [in the budget] by listening to their rhetoric".
"They'll start scapegoating a demographic, to try and prime the [voter] base to accept their cuts."
(e.g.) "If they start talking about able-bodied people, it's Medicaid."
it's in project 2025
It's ALL fucking in there. Every day since Jan 20 is in there.
So many rascal driving MAGAots are about to have their face eaten.
Sucks it will affect decent folks.
Sounds like a good description of the guy who just tried to fire the entire FAA.

Timeline:
Jan 20 - Federal Aviation Administration Director fired.
Jan. 21 - Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen
Jan. 22 - Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded
Jan. 28 - Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees
Jan. 29 - first American mid-air collision in 16 years
By golly, Trump is actually correct. Someone with severe intellectual disabilities did fuck us over.

I think I will blame Trump instead. He was dictator on day one. How could the Orange Turd let this happen!

So no idea of really how the crash happened, don't have black boxes yet. But somehow knows it was dei. Right.
….
PAT25(?) announced that they have a visual on the CRJ. ATC instructed them to maintain visual separation and then proceed behind the CRJ. They didn’t. No maydays, no panpans.
It’s pilot deviation or pilot error.
What would you be interested in with the black box? If the TAWS warned the CRJ pilots?

Its like he goes out of his way to project.
Have you ever noticed how absolutely fixated this guy is on assigning people mental issues?
I am officially upgrading that from 🤔 to Ominous.

You killed 67 people, and it's only been a month of your "presidency."
A month? 10 days, mate. Months have around 30 days, so he still has time to raise that number.

He doesn't actually care who or what is responsible as long as he can tell people it isn't him.
If he had half a brain he would just say investigations are ongoing whenever asked.

Report is that one ATC was doing the work that's supposed to be done by two, due to staffing shortages.

Helicopters go up. Helicopters go down. They go up. They go down.

He blamed it on DEI and NTSB ex chief said trump did more to degrade the safety they’ve built than anyone in 40 years

More Trump projection.
More correct headline:
Trump yet again lies by making up rambling story about imaginary people causing an airliner crash before the dead bodies have gone cold
Airplane crashes a lot of times are very complicated with a lot of important factors leading up to the crash. This, combined with usually complete carnage and destruction, makes it that typical investigations take weeks, months, sometimes years.
Even if trump had been able to form a coherent message about the cause of this crash it would have been bullshit because never in the history of aviation did we know for certain what the cause of a crash was within 16 hours of a crash. It's. That. Simple.
Then again, this is trump, and no investigation will be made because this will become the official reason, the end

It's time to preorder Trump's guide to being a good conservative: "Everything bad that happens is the fault of the people I hate"
Keep insulting the air traffic controllers that allow AF1 to land safely...
