Trump blames DC air crash on workers with "severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, or other mental or physical conditions"

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."

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.

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"

He's talking about himself

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.

Please bring another slander lawsuit against him

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

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.

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...

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

And yet one of them is in the White House running things

He’s projecting again

Has anybody checked to see if the spray tan he uses is known to cause brain damage?

The fucknut Orange Nero described himself.

Amazes me that after the initial COVID response and just his entire public life, that anyone seems surprised that Trump is not the kind of person that should be making speeches about somber and serious subjects.

Let alone be in charge of the response to them, but that ship has sailed.

Well he's not wrong.

He's technically a public servant (worker) and his actions likely caused problems with ATC/FAA.

This is 10000% on Trump and Musk. I give them 30 days of they stay in the country

Nepotism(hiring unqualified friends and family) is far more rampant and way more destructive than DEI policies ever could be. DEI policies may help unqualified people gain low level positions, but with nepotism it's usually high level positions.

For those keeping score, in his journey to fuhrer, you can mark this spot on your "classification of people Trump will put in camps" bingo card.

it could've been

Holy shit. Yeah, and it could also have been you. We don't know right? Just use common sense right?

The dude with the intellectual disabilities is in the White House gutting the FAA

I agree that it is the fault of people with severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, or other mental and physical conditions...namely Donald J. Trump and Elon Musk both of whom are donkey-brained narcissists that have untold amounts of health problems including ketamine addiction, incontinence, HGH chest, and anhedonia.

Dumber every day.

It's amazing how well this works on n his base.

He must be talking about Elon

As a person with psychiatric problems, I take offense.

that's a coinidence, guess what I'm going to blame America's impending economic crash on?

Yeah, refuting an argument by saying "other stuff is at fault" is the work of a true well educated and informed intellectual.

He's talking about himself, isn't Trump?

He just described himself. So….

Awh, they hurt themself in their own stupidity. :(

It's okay, Donnie boy, we all know how stupid you are. :')

Oh, now I remember. His press conferences during the first time were like rallies, just blurting random shower thoughts out.

…If the Dems had just advertised his first term conferences verbatim, no extra context, no picking and choosing, just shown them, they would have easily won.

Looks like we're in the "degenerate" stage of fascism now.

he's going fast!

Already preparing to put people with psychological disorders into camps..

Ah, right, of course the FAA is plopping unqualified people down in air traffic controller chairs to fulfill diversity goals, just like fits with Don's delusions. Except that isn't happening, ATC's have to undergo a rigorous physical and mental health check. There are plenty of other jobs in the FAA that this policy applies to.

He did preface those were his strong opinions.
