He's going to use this as an excuse to repeal the Americans with Disabilities Act. I'm calling it.

Sounds like a good description of the guy who just tried to fire the entire FAA.

So he’s accepting personal responsibility?

Timeline:

Jan 20 - Federal Aviation Administration Director fired.

Jan. 21 - Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen

Jan. 22 - Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded

Jan. 28 - Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees

Jan. 29 - first American mid-air collision in 16 years

By golly, Trump is actually correct. Someone with severe intellectual disabilities did fuck us over.

I think I will blame Trump instead. He was dictator on day one. How could the Orange Turd let this happen!

So no idea of really how the crash happened, don't have black boxes yet. But somehow knows it was dei. Right.

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.

"We may never find out what caused this terrible tragedy, but rest assured that a minority was involved."

You killed 67 people, and it's only been a month of your "presidency."

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.

severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, or other mental or physical conditions

So trump is confirming his numerous physical and mental deficiencies?

So he blames himself? Refreshing change of pace there.

Report is that one ATC was doing the work that's supposed to be done by two, due to staffing shortages.

Helicopters go up. Helicopters go down. They go up. They go down.

~ super intellectual president

He blamed it on DEI and NTSB ex chief said trump did more to degrade the safety they’ve built than anyone in 40 years

More Trump projection.

More correct headline:

Trump yet again lies by making up rambling story about imaginary people causing an airliner crash before the dead bodies have gone cold

Airplane crashes a lot of times are very complicated with a lot of important factors leading up to the crash. This, combined with usually complete carnage and destruction, makes it that typical investigations take weeks, months, sometimes years.

Even if trump had been able to form a coherent message about the cause of this crash it would have been bullshit because never in the history of aviation did we know for certain what the cause of a crash was within 16 hours of a crash. It's. That. Simple.

Then again, this is trump, and no investigation will be made because this will become the official reason, the end

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"

As an autistic person (and no, we don't throw Nazi Salutes as stimming...) I honest to fucking god am so numbed by this guy's bullshit that it is kinda incredible.

All I could think of is how the mentally disabled were the first victims of the holocaust in WW2. Starting in 1939 around the time of the invasion of Poland.

The accident is 100% on Elon Musk and Trump. They fired the FAA safety officials and never replaced them, in addition to cutting massive amounts of funding and personnel that made an accident like this inevitable.

Fuck him. Fuck him HARD.

Keep insulting the air traffic controllers that allow AF1 to land safely...

Please bring another slander lawsuit against him

He's talking about himself

Oh hey, we're headed towards useless eaters rhetoric really quickly

And Trump knows best, he has all the listed conditions himself.

He should work a shift as an air traffic controller so that people can understand he's just a regular guy like they are.

Why's he gotta bad talk the president like that.

And once again, Trump controlled the conversation, and all the actual evidence is out there window for most people.

It would be awesome if there was an unspoken “don’t feed the troll” understanding among journalists, influencers, mods, forum commenters, everyone. When Trump says something outrageously stupid, just… briefly acknowledge it, and then ignore it and proceed as usual. Like he doesn’t exist.

That’s a narcissist’s worst fear.

Sure, he'd bounce around in the conservative echo chamber, but at least he wouldn’t pull more people in.

Magically, for 16 years none of these issues resulted in this outcome

So he actually blames himself. Fair enough

Next time AF1 goes for a jaunt to pedo-island, the air traffic controllers that trump is insulting have an opportunity to become really American heroes...
