ALEXANDER: The implication that this policy is new or that it stems from efforts that began under Biden is demonstrably false.
TRUMP: Who said that, you?
ALEXANDER: It's been on the FAA's website since 2013. Why didn't you change the policy during your first administration
BREAKING: former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg fires back at Trump after he blamed him and DEI for the deadly midair collision last night:
“Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch.
President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.”
@BarackObama Thanks to Barack Obama and other NORMAL leaders for compassionate messages about the plane and helicopter crash. While many are sending love and support, the current "President" is spinning conspiracy theories and laying blame. Congrats, America. How are those egg prices, BTW?
Our hearts break for the families who lost loved ones in the tragic plane and helicopter crash at DCA. Michelle and I send our prayers and condolences to everyone who is mourning today, and we’re grateful to the first responders who are doing everything they can to help under extremely difficult circumstances.
This right here. This is what the President of the United States SHOULD say right now. Not comment on the cause of the crash. Not assign blame for the crash. Not engage in conspiracies. This right here is what a leader, what a good person says. Thank you @BarackObama.👇
BREAKING: In his first on-camera response to the deadly collision that killed 67 Americans, Trump blames DEI and his predecessors.
Absolutely disgusting. This man is utterly unfit to be president.
Trump blaming DEI, Black people and women for the American Airlines / Blackhawk helicopter tragedy is as disgusting as it gets. How can this psychologically damaged piece of shit be president? What the actual fuck! 😡😡😡👇
Trump can’t even stop himself from making digs during a tragedy. Making digs at both Obama and Biden and claiming he made aviation safer…remind who was president when this happened 🤔
And of course he had to mention DEI & blame that for what happened.
Y’all voted for THIS?
Maybe, just fucking maybe, our so-called Secretary of Defense should be spending a little less fucking time on the fucking “news” talking about diversity being “dead” and a little more fucking time making sure our military aircraft don’t crash into our commercial jets.
@SecDef 🤬
🚨 BOOOOOM!!!
Senator Bennet might have just ended RFK Jr.'s chances of being nominated as HHS Secretary. Watch how he cuts through the BS and asks the tough questions.
THIS is how you do it.
To cut through the bullshit and simplify trump's message today:
He thinks you are LESS SAFE if a Black person is flying your plane or guiding it.
CHANGE MY MIND.
