Regional jet and helicopter collision in DC yesterday. It boggles one mind as to how this could have ever happened in one of the tightest controlled air spaces in the US, but our favorite Felon found it upon himself to blame this on the DEI hiring by the FAA, although as it happens, there was no FAA head till this morning.

At a White House news conference , Trump said the there were no survivors, that the cause of the collision wasn’t clear, and that the miliary and National Transportation Safety Board were investigating. Without evidence, he blamed air traffic controllers, the helicopter pilots and Democratic policies at federal agencies.
“We’ll find out how this disaster occurred and will ensure that nothing like this ever happens again,” he said.
Trump criticized diversity hiring efforts at the FAA, though when pressed about why, he acknowledged there was no evidence that those efforts could be blamed for the collision.
“It just could have been,” he said.

And here is more and looks like he is deflecting the blame. Seems like no head of the FAA and no aviation safety committee either.
Trump Gutted Key Aviation Safety Committee Before D.C. Plane Crash

Last week, just days after his inauguration, Donald Trump eliminated the membership of a key committee that handles aviation security. And on Wednesday night, a passenger plane collided with a military helicopter in the Washington, D.C., area.
