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.”
So he’s accepting personal responsibility?
So no idea of really how the crash happened, don’t have black boxes yet. But somehow knows it was dei. Right.
He doesn’t need evidence he has “common sense”
Actual quote from the press conference
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.
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.

No because the plan is to blame literally everything that goes wrong on minorities.
You mean it’s another of those trans illegal immigrants that escaped from an asylum that worked in an airport control tower in between all the pillaging and raping? It’s crazy, how many are there of those anyway?

Instead of Trump’s own major enshitification of the quality of government causing the morale of federal workers to plummet.
Never give up a good or even bad opportunity to try and throw someone in front of a bus. An opportunity not seized is a opportunity missed.
Report is that one ATC was doing the work that’s supposed to be done by two, due to staffing shortages.
That together with the fact that people have been warning about this accident waiting to happen ever since the airport was built.
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.
Holy hell it’s only been 10 days
These 10 days have been the longest decade of my life.
I only said month because even when he wasn’t president yet, they were already making moves like he was. But you are correct it’s ONLY been 10 fucking days.
Feels like 6 months already. Son of a bitch it’s gonna be a long decade.
I don’t even know how you factor in other travesties. Like letting all those J6 criminals out of prison. One of them already had to be put down by a cop during a traffic stop. How do you factor that, when the safest option was to keep them in prison?
It’s only been barely a week, bro…
TrumpBodyCount = TrumpBodyCount + 67
I hate Trump as much as anyone else here, but I fail to see how his FAA firings cause this accident. Can you explain how this is his fault?
edit: Thanks for the downvotes assuming I’m a sealion, just because I asked a question.
Trump loves to blame people for things they have no direct control over, like blaming Boden for the cost of eggs, while taking credit for anything positive that happens while he is in office that had nothing to do with him.
I assumed OP was mocking that attitude, but could be wrong.
That article says that they have been dealing with staffing issues for some time.
And you don’t think the firing of even more employees didn’t have an effect?
Not in that incident, no. It may affect the future, but that incident seemed to be pilot error according to the ATC recordings.
Trump plays to the American egregor of the CEO as Kingmaker. Literally proposes frequently running the USA as a business.
When you are the CEO the responsibility of the entire thing lies with you.
Now I don’t agree with Trump, but it’s merely holding him to his own standards.
When you put it that way, I agree. You want to be the king, you take the blame.
That’s some stupid fucking horseshit. It would be nearly impossible to fire a large part of an organization without a noticeable effect. Here we have fatal evidence of that. Yeah people assume you’re coming in bad faith because how could we not?
I’m all for making Trump look bad, so is you feel that this will damage him, I’m in. I just want to see some evidence or an ATC that would agree.
So he blames himself? Refreshing change of pace there.
There is a good chance this was caused in large part by Trump and his enshitification efforts. Right now the entire federal workforce is demoralized by various actions of Traitorapist Trump, degrading the quality of government across all levels. Air traffic controllers are part of the federal workforce. They were also short staffed, which in itself was likely cause by the poor morale. Blaming the hiring of minorities makes no sense given that a big part of the problem was not enough staff.
Trump knows this and knows that other people will make that connection too, and so him blaming this on DEI was his way of deflect the blame away from his rapid enshitification of government.
He’s talking about himself
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”
Please bring another slander lawsuit against him
yeah, he is god emperor immune… that’s a waste of time
At the very least it’s another fact that will join him down into history. It’s not enough that he’s the worst president ever, we can tank his stats so no one ever comes close
Keep insulting the air traffic controllers that allow AF1 to land safely…
Why’s he gotta bad talk the president like that.
Magically, for 16 years none of these issues resulted in this outcome
