Ah yes, the presidency. The job to which we elect an official blame assigner for public tragedies.
Just this special snowflake. Can’t help but cause needless own goals
Wouldn’t be surprised if something ole rapey did butterfly effected into this
Have some respect for the office! That's President Dumb Piece Of Shit.
The questions he’s asking aren’t wrong to ask. The real problem, IMO, is that he’s the president and can’t simply post those questions publicly. He’s an idiot, though, so this is what we get.
But seriously, he also asks why the Black Hawk pilot didn’t do ANYTHING to avoid a known flight path and I’ve asked the same thing.
This is the kind of stuff the "deregulate everything" crowd never seems to think about.
This dumbass is in the process of removing all enforcement of agency regulations and then this prime example of why we have rules in the first place appears
Exactly. Firing half the government would lead to outcomes like this
"Nooo, we don't mean those regulations, only the bad ones!"
proceeds to blindly revoke regulations
"Whoopsie!"
Why was the army running a night flight training mission in DC?
Such a crowded airspace and I'm sure the military didn't coordinate their flight plans with the local air traffic control.
It’s a valid question, but I just watched a press conference where somebody explained that these aren’t rookie pilots but pilots looking to log the proper amount of flight hours.
You're sure? Why wouldn't they? Jumping to these types of conclusions is bad.
Republicans would have blamed Biden without a second thought, so I'm going to blame Trump for this.
The funny part is, the tower DID tell them what to do, the helo just didn't do it
He's already had a hand in the deaths of over 100000 1000000 Americans why would he care about 60 more?
The bodies ain't cold yet and trump will already assign blame. Fuck actual investigation, who cares what really happened?
Also, he probably wants to preempt things like realmfacts that might implicate his own government
This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented.
Too true, Donald, too true. I've been saying that a lot lately.
This was pilot deviation or pilot error for the helicopter. They were instructed to maintain visual separation and to cross behind the CRJ and then just didn’t.
Edit: The issue was also that they reported CRJ in sight. If they couldn’t find the CRJ, ATC should have routed them on a safe path. But they reported in sight.
Do you have any links to sources on this? I see a lot of people speaking authoritatively on this here but no links to sources.
It's amazing how he always seems to have "the answer" AFTER something bad happens. But never the foresight to make changes before tragedy strikes.
Is the control tower also ran by illegal Mexican immigrants Donald?
In the press conference he's trying to pin it on DEI. Disgusting behaviour.
Illegal immigrants too busy doing fentenyl and black people smoking PCP.
Is it just possible they got rid of a highly trained and competent trans pilot and replaced them with Private Cousinfucker from Dumbfuckistan?
A reminder of what a presidential attitude used to be :

The pictured President is one of those lazy left wingers who doesn't want to work.
I saw some of the press conference with the people investigating (it was on the news while getting ready for work) and one of the questions asked to them was this statement made by our glorious leader and I laughed. I laughed because it's absolutely the complete opposite of how to handle this type of situation. As someone from his background, you would think he knows never to make any statements about anything until you have the clear picture first. What he did will just cause more headaches for people actually doing their jobs now and feel bad they even have to deal with Mr. Wildcard, creating more havoc for them than they need.
I don't work in public facing affairs, but even internally it's known you don't make any statements to anyone outside your department regarding serious issues because every word can be taken the wrong way unless worded properly. If it's something serious, you consult as a team, and someone approves the statement sent out.
Maybe don't have training flights at night into one of the most congested airports in the country?
BIDEN put the WINDMILLS in REVERSE.... and that blew the copter against the plane. SAD.
I mean, we all know already that the control tower DID tell the helicopter what to do. How come HE doesn't know that?
