Trump is an idiot on this one. But before all you MAGA people jump on me let me say that I have voted for Trump in a three elections and support what he is doing now. But I am also an instrument rated private pilot. The proximate cause of this accident was a horrible mistake by the Blackhawk pilot who, is an acknowledged trainee. The AA plane was flying the ILS into Runway 33 at Reagan airport. This is a precision approach path and was designed in this case to fly up the Potomac River. The Blackhawk pilot was flying a route that would cross the ILS glide slope. The controller asked it the Backhawk pilot had the AA plane in sight. He responded that he did. The controller then cleared him to cross the ILS behind the AA plane. He turned and flew directly in front of the AA airplane whose pilot likely did not see him coming. This more than likely happened because the trainee pilot never had the AA plane in sight but the probable confusion with lights on the ground convinced him that he did see the AA plane. From the crash site I calculate the the collision happened about 400 feet above the ground so lights a couple of miles away would look to be at a pilots eye level.
It will take the NTSB a couple of weeks before issuing a preliminary report on the crash. Until then Donald Trump should keep his thoughts to himself. Getting involved in this will do nothing to help his cause.
There was a similar commercial airliner vs military collision in Japan last year, with a Coast Guard aircraft entering the runway as the airliner took off. Terrible tragedy and it should remind us such things aren’t limited to our country or any political agenda.
I dont know how you even begin to reason with people so lost (evil?) that they react this way. Same with people who cheer the murder of a CEO, or cheer the murder of innocent civilians by terrorists.
Never let a crisis or in this case a tragedy go to waste. Obviously this has been SOP for quite sometime so after the recovery of the people involved in this terrible accident we can make sure it doesn’t happen again Pray for the families
From planes to trains Biden's Secretary of Transportation, who is less qualified for that position than Hegseth is for his, over horrific incidents that Biden himself kept at arms length, and press could see no blame, ask no questions, here no crys from the victims.
I m sure when one of the thugs that Biden pardoned commits another crime they will blame Trump.
They will assure us Trump is an all powerful, omnipotent tyrant because Government is their god.
If conservatives wanted to play the stupid blame game, they would be saying that the crash is a result of relaxed training standards in our Milleyized woke military. But we are not going there.
Instead, we shall lift up the many perished folks in prayer.
How revolting can these ghouls possibly be? I don't think there's any limit to their depravity. Even their death cut lemmings will understand Trump has been in office a week and two days. You aren't hiring, training, etc. anyone in that time. Not to mention the castration of job requirement standards the Biden administration made in the name of DEI. They must make sure people who can do the job are doing the job. Meritocracy not hiring the kid w/ two dozen piercings and rainbow bright hair just because they use the preferred pronouns.
On the opposite end of the spectrum you have the tin foil hat crowd saying this has all the classic hallmarks of a Psy-Op. Ugh... I can't roll my eyes any harder. Come on people. Geeeez...
I learned of the tragedy late into the night, but immediately wondered how the Left/Demo/Progs would blame POTUS. These ppl have either black hearts or brain lesions. Guess it won't matter which when the next shot is taken.
The lunacy on the left is matched by the abandonment of principles on the right. The progressives are acting like some kind of ambulance chaser, drumming up business by declaring this to be Trump's fault. But conservatives fawning all over RFK and overlooking his stance on abortions and general seediness isn't much better. God help us all.
And now comes the president blaming D.E.I. for the tragic crash, with no proof. You were saying Mr. Erickson.
Here are some of the most commonly misused words in the English language:
1. To, Too, Two
2. Their, There, They're
3. You're, Your
4. Were, We're
5. Then, Than
6. Racist, Fascist, Nazi
I wonder if all the country’s under a dictatorship or communist control went all that we have seen happen in this country?
Are we headed that way with the loss of Patriotism?
President Trump is blaming the crash on DEI: https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5116332-trump-0faa-dei-plane-crash/amp/.

The Second Coming can't come soon enough.
Stancil is protecting. Progressives are so diluted, so far down the rabbit hole they can't see they are what they accuse Trump of.

Yesterday convinced me we as a country have a ton more work ahead of us than I thought.
First, the Democrats in Congress turned a serious hearing into the ultimate clown show, screaming at the witness about things like Onesies.
Next, the MSM starts this nonsense.

As Rahm Emmauel said years ago, "Never let a good crisis go to waste". :)

Sad but True
When I visit some of the Govt offices, a lot of the people know very little about the subject.
