Everyone should go listen to the ATC communications. It was the helicopters fault. ATC told them multiple times where the incoming plane was and told the pilot to turn away and maintain visual separation. Helicopter was also over their max altitude limit for the area. They climbed 100 feet as the plane was descending and crashed directly into them. Also every pilot was male as was the ATC. Blaming DEI is the only thing he can do, he needs a scapegoat in every situation and is incapable of taking blame for anything. “I love the poorly educated”.
Wait, at the risk of sounding like the uneducated, who exactly is at fault here? Even if it was Kamala in office, she wouldn't be at fault. From your description, it sounds like the Helicopter pilot is at fault. You started out with the helicopter pilot then turned to trump, I'm not sure why. I think ATC is also at fault, who is monitoring the airspace, who gives the alerts in a timely manner minutes before this incident is unavoidable?
So lemme get this right.... Send "DEI" hires home on leave... Crash happens 10 days later..... Blame DEI hires (who are at home)..... Make it make sense

Hmmmm…. An internal report from the Federal Aviation Administration found that in reality, the tower’s staffing at Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic,” according to The New York Times. There was only one air traffic controller to handle both helicopters and planes in the airport’s vicinity, a job usually assigned to two people. Having to handle both types of air traffic can be complicated, the Times report states, because air traffic controllers can use different radio frequencies for helicopter and airplane pilots. In such cases, while the controller is communicating with pilots of both kinds of aircraft, the pilots may not be able to talk to one another. Staffing levels at the airport’s control tower have been below adequate levels for years, like many of the U.S.’s other airports. DCA’s tower only had 19 fully certified controllers as of September 2023, according to congressional reports. This is well below the FAA and air traffic controller union’s preferred number of 30, and is due to employee turnover and budget cuts, according to the Times. As a result, many air controllers at the airport work up to 10 hours a day and six days a week. Those levels probably have not been helped by Donald Trump’s federal hiring freeze, his gutting of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee, and the FAA chief’s resignation at Elon Musk’s behest. As much as Trump and the right might try to blame DEI or something else ludicrous, perhaps they should look in the mirror.

Bottom line, no matter how much he spins it, this happened under his watch. Just as Biden needed to be held accountable, so does trump. This rambling blaming doesn't help anything. Very unpresidential.
Yes, when I hear the president speak about a disaster I want to hear opinions.....Very dangerous to speak opinion as a leader without knowing the facts. You simply say, we are reviewing it till we know more. Its a frustrating answer but it is less dangerous than an opinion.

A military helicopter with presumably state of the art avionics flew into the path(or the passenger jet itself). A fixed wing has the ROW over rotory wing. Why make this a political rant about FAA or ATC policy when all initial indications are the military helicopter pilot error?
Because a week ago he fired thousands in charge of the safety and air controllers that made airfare a lot on safer so he’s trying to make sure that he’s shifting and pointing his finger somewhere else so nobody that doesn’t know these things will blame him
What a strange moment of silence while he keeps moving his hands in an impatient manner. Like a third grader who was told to wait patiently for recess but can’t wait. This guy is just so awful and nothing is normal, not even a 15 second moment of silence.
5 minutes into what could have been a speech to try to unite the masses on both sides of the aisle and this ego maniac decides to go in a completely different direction and tout his “success” (quotes absolutely intentional) and casts blame on his predecessors while the country is in mourning over a truly tragic accident. It doesn’t even matter if there’s any truth to his claims or not, a president, or a human being for that matter, who leads with his ego instead of empathy is not fit to lead at all.
Absolutely disgusting remarks from Trump. Not sure why i am shocked by this anymore. It’s been abundantly clear there is no bottom for him. Human decency is dead.
He should never give another speech after a disaster. I thought the speech after the California fires was bad. This one takes the cake. No comfort. No compassion. All lies and blame. Thanks to potus all I can think of is the people in icy icy cold cold water dying.😢

Ya broke their union. Beginning of the destruction of the middle class . All downhill since
Tragedies do happen Mr president- just man up, send condolences and say you will get to the bottom of it. Stop creating a world where if something bad happens we first check to see if the person is black, LGBTQ or has a disabiltyl That would be so crude.
The only salient part of this press conference was the moment of silence on the beginning. The president of the United States said absolutely nothing but sowed more division in the nation.
It's a small mind that would use this moment for political sniping, my friend..
@@sherrymiller2302you realize Trumps entire speech was jumping the gun in order to shoehorn his push for Discrimination Uniformity and Inequality hiring, right? If he makes it political you’re expecting us to stand by while he accuses initiates to hire people with Dwarfism as the problem.
@@sherrymiller2302Tell that to trump
Biden- 1/2 the country is a threat to democracy.
JANUARY 20 - Trump fires the head of the Federal Aviation Administration, the department in charge of flight safety
JANUARY 21 - Trump freezes hiring for Air Traffic Controllers
JANUARY 22 - Trump disbands the Aviation Safety Advisory Committee
JANUARY 28 - Trump sends out a buyout/retirement demand to existing employees, removing experienced safety staff
JANUARY 29 - First American mid-air collision in 16 years
TRUMP DID THIS.
Can I circulate this comment among my Trumpist "friends"?
None of that has to do with the controllers who were already there and doing a bad job. Try to keep up bud lol
Also, as of 30 Jan, not a single air traffic controller was fired or otherwise removed from their positions.
He's a walking corpse ... he'll never make it four years.
Trump has no standards. What an abomination. Not even two weeks in.
Bottom line, no matter how much he spins it, this happened under his watch. Just as Biden needed to be held accountable, so does trump. This rambling blaming doesn't help anything. Very unpresidential.
Biden didn't hold his crime family accountable. He pardoned their theft.
Why blame DEI before even the investigation has taken place? Also, didn't say it was air controls fault. Can MAGA help me to understand this one?
Yes, when I hear the president speak about a disaster I want to hear opinions.....Very dangerous to speak opinion as a leader without knowing the facts. You simply say, we are reviewing it till we know more. Its a frustrating answer but it is less dangerous than an opinion.
this man is STILL an absolute disgrace.
Reporter: Why are blaming people and DEI and the investigation isnt finish?
Trump: That wasn't a smart question
Whatt that is the only question 😂 RIP to the people who lost their lives 😢
Sir We lost America lives on American soil and all you can do is blame previous American Administrations.
WTH does 20+ minutes of Political LIES have to do with helping the families!
Americans getting the leadership they deserve.
Sadly
A military helicopter with presumably state of the art avionics flew into the path(or the passenger jet itself). A fixed wing has the ROW over rotory wing. Why make this a political rant about FAA or ATC policy when all initial indications are the military helicopter pilot error?
Because a week ago he fired thousands in charge of the safety and air controllers that made airfare a lot on safer so he’s trying to make sure that he’s shifting and pointing his finger somewhere else so nobody that doesn’t know these things will blame him
What a team of baffoons
Horrible loss of some wonderful lives, that will always be in our hearts
What a strange moment of silence while he keeps moving his hands in an impatient manner. Like a third grader who was
told to wait patiently for recess but can’t wait. This guy is just so awful and nothing is normal, not even a 15 second moment of silence.
It’s like a captain firing half the crew, the ship crashes, and he blames it on diversity instead of the missing navigators.
5 minutes into what could have been a speech to try to unite the masses on both sides of the aisle and this ego maniac decides to go in a completely different direction and tout his “success” (quotes absolutely intentional) and casts blame on his predecessors while the country is in mourning over a truly tragic accident. It doesn’t even matter if there’s any truth to his claims or not, a president, or a human being for that matter, who leads with his ego instead of empathy is not fit to lead at all.
Absolutely disgusting remarks from Trump. Not sure why i am shocked by this anymore. It’s been abundantly clear there is no bottom for him. Human decency is dead.
My condolences to the families. tRump is a shallow, shallow shell.
He should never give another speech after a disaster. I thought the speech after the California fires was bad. This one takes the cake. No comfort. No compassion. All lies and blame. Thanks to potus all I can think of is the people in icy icy cold cold water dying.😢
Why does this speech sound like a 5 yr old telling a story?
Because he can't even read briefing notes and make them sound coherent. Completely lacking in capacity and competence
This is the man that people voted for. So sad so sad.
Run someone who isn't a vegetable or a drunk housewife of DC.
Yes we did,! And,we won! Loser!😅
Where to start? He can't even read with any compassion. He wants high standards for hiring? He shouldn't be President.
Is it to early to talk about impeachment
Why is he rambling on about minute details of the crash or the flight paths? That's not his job ... let the experts investigate and report. This drunk uncle knows nothing.
Same guy that said drink bleach, to cure covic! Sad state of affairs. Condolences to the family. He barely addressed them!
Weirdest press conference I’ve ever seen. Says I don’t know but it’s a DEI problem. Geez. Facts please!
Stephen Hawking. Sadly I doubt if this man has read even one word Stephen wrote. It is clear however, that intelligence is not a requirement in order to become President.
Not in ‘merica.
I wonder who was on the commercial airline that was "an enemy within"?
it was all of those young figure skaters...naturally.
Praying for families.
Mindlessly racist rambling....
OMFG of course he is taking this as an opportunity to talk about himself
Nothing but reading what someone else wrote. And he’s doing a poor job at that. He’s struggling. 😬
Most people would give this speech from the bottom of their hearts. Not reading it from a note word for word
So sad 😢
If judge Judy was our president 😂
Who else was on the plane? Seems like an act of terrorism from our own military. These are the questions that people should be asking.
No one wants to see the convenience of it and the timing of it. Accidents like this don't happen.
@IRG423 precisely
This was 45. Period. Don’t even start with a stupid conspiracy. He killed these innocent people with his careless actions
One thing is certain, I am PSYCHOLOGICALLY SUPERIOR than this orange thing
You certainly aren't grammatically superior
Sorry! America is to blame for 47! What an utter and DESPICABLE DISASTER!
Because they lowered the standards for ATC for DEI.
@CharlesCorte…sounds like one of their “poorly educated.” Cut him som slack, folks! 🙄
Whose job is it to yank him away from the mic as soon as he goes off script?
over 100 people die every DAY in car accidents. Transportation deaths are unavoidable, unfortunatley.
This was 100% avoidable. 45 dismantled the FAA days before. He killed these innocent people.
Speech was good until the blame game started!
I'm watching the movie Mississippi Burning and it sounds almost like this news conference.
OMG HE IS AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE...EMBARASSMENT AND SO FULL OF REVENGE
Zero content, all finger pointing that is irrelevant here. 🤯
Then his appointed cronies come to the microphone and start talking about what a great man Trump is instead of concentrating on the matter at hand. This is how twisted this administration is. "So sad , so sad" .
Hes reading ????? As opposed to speaking as a human
Is he crazy?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone care less about what they’re reading. Shoes his true colors when he goes off script
lol he’s a demagogue. It’s gonna get worse people, because we don’t count.
Wow, 2nd Press Conference anyone has seen in 4 years.
The Wizard of BS has no clue, NO CLUE, about anything. This man is the expert on EVERYTHING. Gump, you're a GD genius. You fired 100 of the people who have been keeping airline travel safe. What a load of BS.
Hegseth , how many gin and tonics did you have before you spoke? Because you couldn’t put a sentence together?
We get a Fox News host as defense secretary and then this happens
On behalf of Pete. The disaster is you, President! How you can’t even read a piece of paper with intonation to make your stupid writing even a bit interesting.
Such an empty,hateful person.And every time I hear complaints about DEI,I hear Master Race.I was once told by one of "them" that it's the WASPs who built the cathedrals and sent a man to the moon;others are not capable. I asked him: Well,did you ever give any of them a chance ? No answer. Exactly !
Keep crying bot
I'm so sick of him constantly lying
Trump on day 2.
Fired the head of the Transportation Security Administration
Fired the entire Aviation Security Advisory Committee
Froze hiring of all Air Traffic Controllers
Fired 100 top FAA security officers
All of these have nothing to do with last night.
