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

He's talking about himself
Please bring another slander lawsuit against him
yeah, he is god emperor immune... that's a waste of time
"We may never find out what caused this terrible tragedy, but rest assured that a minority was involved."
I agree with trumps sentiment. Old, fat, stupid, senile people should not be in positions that need to make critical decisions.
And Trump knows best, he has all the listed conditions himself.
In some way, it also symbolizes what he is doing to the country. His plane is just a bit bigger.
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...
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
Trump yet again lies by making up rambling story about imaginary people
You could have said the same thing about the eating dogs and cats diatribe.
He's lampshading the next groups he's going to round up. I bet there's going to be an expansion of mental health intake and transfers of the "criminal" insane to the new camps that are getting opened up.
He blamed it on DEI and NTSB ex chief said he did more to degrade the safety they’ve built than anyone in 40 years
Yes, he blamed DEI and specifically said it was due to the FAA hiring people with mental and physical disabilities.
So he blames himself? Refreshing change of pace there.
There is a good chance this was caused in large part by Trump and his enshitification efforts. Right now the entire federal workforce is demoralized by various actions of Traitorapist Trump, degrading the quality of government across all levels. Air traffic controllers are part of the federal workforce. They were also short staffed, which in itself was likely cause by the poor morale. Blaming the hiring of minorities makes no sense given that a big part of the problem was not enough staff.
Trump knows this and knows that other people will make that connection too, and so him blaming this on DEI was his way of deflect the blame away from his rapid enshitification of government.
It's amazing how well this works on n his base.
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.

No because the plan is to blame literally everything that goes wrong on minorities.
You mean it's another of those trans illegal immigrants that escaped from an asylum that worked in an airport control tower in between all the pillaging and raping? It's crazy, how many are there of those anyway?
the plan is to blame literally everything that goes wrong on minorities.
Instead of Trump's own major enshitification of the quality of government causing the morale of federal workers to plummet.

Report is that one ATC was doing the work that's supposed to be done by two, due to staffing shortages.
Why's he gotta bad talk the president like that.
He's going to use this as an excuse to repeal the Americans with Disabilities Act. I'm calling it.
Nostradamus [Belle] two days ago:
"If they keep the details quiet [of the recent closed-door meeting], you'll be able to tell what they're going after [in the budget] by listening to their rhetoric".
"They'll start scapegoating a demographic, to try and prime the [voter] base to accept their cuts."
(e.g.) "If they start talking about able-bodied people, it's Medicaid."
it's in project 2025
So many rascal driving MAGAots are about to have their face eaten.
Sucks it will affect decent folks.
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.
That might indicate that he recently was informed that he has dementia and that it's incurable.
Or maybe he wants all his political opponents and critics declared insane so he can have them tortured with outdated treatments like lobotomies and endless rounds of ECT.
Sounds like a good description of the guy who just tried to fire the entire FAA.

severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, or other mental or physical conditions
So trump is confirming his numerous physical and mental deficiencies?
Projection is always a confession with Trump.
I think I will blame Trump instead. He was dictator on day one. How could the Orange Turd let this happen!
He caused this to happen with his various actions of enshitifying the quality of government.
Magically, for 16 years none of these issues resulted in this outcome
So no idea of really how the crash happened, don't have black boxes yet. But somehow knows it was dei. Right.
Due to his barren mental landscape, he can only rant about two or three things in a given month.

This is 10000% on Trump and Musk. I give them 30 days of they stay in the country
You killed 67 people, and it's only been a month of your "presidency."
TrumpBodyCount = TrumpBodyCount + 67
A month? 10 days, mate. Months have around 30 days, so he still has time to raise that number.
