    You missed the point of Trump claims that he read out loud on national TV to America after the Helicopter/American Airlines crash.

    Trump read part of the FAA document that discussed hiring "disable" people as air traffic controllers but he didn't realize the DEI document was from his own DEI initiative pilot program in 2019 that required a quota of disable people to be trained (+20 individuals) as air traffic controllers.


    A CNN reporter attempted to warn him that it was his DEI initiative from 2019 while he was blaming Obama, Biden, and DEI. Trump dismissed her and then made some rude remark in reference to her being from CNN...not allowing her to finish telling him where the DEI document came from.

    Trump specifically identified the types of disable people who can be air traffic controllers while shaking his head in disgust...he could not believe America would hire people like that to be air traffic controllers. ​

    He then double down by repeating a few of the specific disabilities of individuals who should not be air traffic controllers and then blaming them because he stated we should be using the "brightest", "geniuses" et cetera.

    In fact, Trump spent most of that speech attacking the prior administration instead of showing empathy to the victims and helping America feel safe about air travel and that they (FAA) have every thing under control and there will be a complete investigation.

    We all know that these types of airline plane crash investigations takes many months to discover what really happened and who's at fault. Trump stated "I don't know" multiple times but again went back to blaming DEI and Air Traffic Controllers while at the same time stating (questioning) why the Army Helicopter was so high at a higher elevation than it should be.

    Two days later we have another spectacular plane crash in Philadelphia and today another airplane catches on fire in Houston while on the runway.


    The only thing we do know so far is that those aboard the Army Helicopter where not DEI...they were White, well trained, and a very experienced helicopter crew. Also, the pilots of the plane crash in Philadelphia were White but the patient and mother were Mexican on their way back to Mexico after cancer treatment.

    I'm interested to read what they say about the specific identity of the air traffic controller in Washington D.C.

    Was it one of those +20 disable individuals from Trump's 2019 DEI pilot program initiative that Trump was bitching about while forgetting its from his own DEI pilot program or another air traffic controller that's White (a person that has nothing to do with DEI) ???

    P.S. It's possible a White House aid may have given Trump that DEI document to read to America while not realizing it's a FAA document from one of Trump's DEI pilot programs in his first term because it was still in place during Biden's term.

    Yet, Trump should have realized he was attacking his own DEI initiative pilot programs while he was attacking individuals with "disabilities" and attacking Obama, Biden, and DEI programs.

    What I have found over the past 10 years is that when Trump says something, he will likely be proven right. I trust Trump as he is much closer to the info and policy than I. Anyway, thanks for the agreement.

  5. Sorry what do you think I agreed with you on? That DEI WAS NOT the cause...

    trump is rarely right my friend.... but you are not smart enough to fact check..

    trump said CHina pays tariffs.....he was WRONG because reality is the opposite
    trump said immigrants were eating cats and dogs in Ohio.... he was WRONG.
    trump said Mexico would pay for the wall... he was WRONG
    trump said Mexico was sending troops in 2019 to fix the issue at the border... he was WRONG, mexico played him.

    DEI did not cause the accident....the U.S. Army did.

    now I know why you like being wrong so much

    I did not indicate that DEI played into the crash. Let's let this play out though and see.

    I prefer to watch Trump double down, triple down about his "opinion" that the Army Helicopter/American Airlines plane crash was because of DEI with the air traffic controllers because it's his DEI pilot program initiative from 2019...the program for "disable people" that he was very proud to have initiated back in 2019.

    :rolleyes:

    There are reports that the air traffic controller left his post during the time of the crash also, the flight plan for the airliner was changed for some reason probably, by the air traffic controller too.
