Everyone should go listen to the ATC communications. It was the helicopters fault. ATC told them multiple times where the incoming plane was and told the pilot to turn away and maintain visual separation. Helicopter was also over their max altitude limit for the area. They climbed 100 feet as the plane was descending and crashed directly into them. Also every pilot was male as was the ATC. Blaming DEI is the only thing he can do, he needs a scapegoat in every situation and is incapable of taking blame for anything. “I love the poorly educated”.

[@rebeccabaker1093]

Hmmmm…. An internal report from the Federal Aviation Administration found that in reality, the tower’s staffing at Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic,” according to The New York Times. There was only one air traffic controller to handle both helicopters and planes in the airport’s vicinity, a job usually assigned to two people. Having to handle both types of air traffic can be complicated, the Times report states, because air traffic controllers can use different radio frequencies for helicopter and airplane pilots. In such cases, while the controller is communicating with pilots of both kinds of aircraft, the pilots may not be able to talk to one another. Staffing levels at the airport’s control tower have been below adequate levels for years, like many of the U.S.’s other airports. DCA’s tower only had 19 fully certified controllers as of September 2023, according to congressional reports. This is well below the FAA and air traffic controller union’s preferred number of 30, and is due to employee turnover and budget cuts, according to the Times. As a result, many air controllers at the airport work up to 10 hours a day and six days a week. Those levels probably have not been helped by Donald Trump’s federal hiring freeze, his gutting of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee, and the FAA chief’s resignation at Elon Musk’s behest. As much as Trump and the right might try to blame DEI or something else ludicrous, perhaps they should look in the mirror.

Who else was on the plane? Seems like an act of terrorism from our own military. These are the questions that people should be asking.

[@IRG423]

No one wants to see the convenience of it and the timing of it. Accidents like this don't happen.

[@Rippedmagician]

@IRG423 precisely

[@annikagreen1398]

This was 45. Period. Don’t even start with a stupid conspiracy. He killed these innocent people with his careless actions

[@almemon3691]

One thing is certain, I am PSYCHOLOGICALLY SUPERIOR than this orange thing

[@suran396]

You certainly aren't grammatically superior

[@brittneyk0158]

Sorry! America is to blame for 47! What an utter and DESPICABLE DISASTER!

[@CharlesCorte]

Because they lowered the standards for ATC for DEI.

[@brittneyk0158]

@CharlesCorte…sounds like one of their “poorly educated.” Cut him som slack, folks! 🙄

[@kathrynmiller9529]

Whose job is it to yank him away from the mic as soon as he goes off script?

[@DividedWeFallll]

I'm so sick of him constantly lying

[@reynaldomedina5116]

Then his appointed cronies come to the microphone and start talking about what a great man Trump is instead of concentrating on the matter at hand. This is how twisted this administration is. "So sad , so sad" .

[@wevdog]

over 100 people die every DAY in car accidents. Transportation deaths are unavoidable, unfortunatley.

[@annikagreen1398]

This was 100% avoidable. 45 dismantled the FAA days before. He killed these innocent people.

[@pab2519]

Speech was good until the blame game started!

[@michaellewis1258]

I'm watching the movie Mississippi Burning and it sounds almost like this news conference.

[@User48_x3]

OMG HE IS AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE...EMBARASSMENT AND SO FULL OF REVENGE

[@lindakf437]

Zero content, all finger pointing that is irrelevant here. 🤯

[@BandJam26music]

Is he crazy?

[@Lumberton60]

Why are we blaming Trump. He has said an investigation will be conducted. He wasn't flying the chopper. I assume he does know more than he's telling us. But we don't know if there was a mechanical problem,etc. please let them do their job and investigate without blame.

[@HelptheBroncos]

Hes reading ????? As opposed to speaking as a human

[@santiagocamacho1077]

lol he’s a demagogue. It’s gonna get worse people, because we don’t count.

[@Beckywiththegoodhair9]

The Wizard of BS has no clue, NO CLUE, about anything. This man is the expert on EVERYTHING. Gump, you're a GD genius. You fired 100 of the people who have been keeping airline travel safe. What a load of BS.

[@eyeseverywhere8246]

All of those young figure skaters gone forever...so sad. Yet all he can do is look for scapegoats...

[@johncalzone8411]

We get a Fox News host as defense secretary and then this happens

[@StS9LBJ23]

Wow, 2nd Press Conference anyone has seen in 4 years.

[@JustAsking2No]

Such an empty,hateful person.And every time I hear complaints about DEI,I hear Master Race.I was once told by one of "them" that it's the WASPs who built the cathedrals and sent a man to the moon;others are not capable. I asked him: Well,did you ever give any of them a chance ? No answer. Exactly !

[@jwinthepro]

Keep crying bot

[@Ginie78]

On behalf of Pete. The disaster is you, President! How you can’t even read a piece of paper with intonation to make your stupid writing even a bit interesting.

[@JJJVVV-i8f]

Trump on day 2. Fired the head of the Transportation Security Administration Fired the entire Aviation Security Advisory Committee Froze hiring of all Air Traffic Controllers Fired 100 top FAA security officers

[@michaelloparco2173]

All of these have nothing to do with last night.
