Trump’s suggestion that diversity hiring may have played a role in the Washington DC air crash is a new low in an already ground-level record

Among all his flaws, the worst may be Trump's inability to handle a crisis or a tragedy. As with Covid, he can only spread lies, show zero sympathy and make a terrible situation worse

So.
It wasn't DEI.
It was DOGE.
Not your first crash, right @elonmusk? pic.twitter.com/CeaB06Ljxb

Pay attention. Don’t scroll past this. Don’t simply shrug because “it’s just Trump being Trump.” This is not normal. This is a disordered man and his minions trying to force this nation to go along with their twisted agenda. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. https://t.co/5F4wMHXmbJ

Let’s sort this out now:
Anyone who attacks DEI as a bad thing is a racist who just won’t say it out loud.
Period. #CallThemOut

This is disgraceful. Though it may not have stopped the crash, Trump is distracting us from the fact that he did not appoint a new FAA Administrator until today. The former FAA Administrator was pressured to step down when Trump took office because Elon Musk didn't want him to… https://t.co/CygR76lBWc

Trump's handling of this situation should be treated as one of the biggest scandals in presidential history. There is blood on his hands. https://t.co/oqyO08XRU4

Trump just implied little people shouldn’t be air traffic controllers https://t.co/1MfBR1do28

Buddy heard a Blackhawk was involved and jumped right to blaming DEI

The President of the US stood at a podium today and said that he has no proof that an air traffic traffic controller who was a “diversity hire” caused this, but of course he’s pretty sure that’s what it had to be because a white guy wouldn’t make this kind of a mistake. https://t.co/hv61VDW7m0

If Trump is looking for dangerous hiring policies, he should start a lot closer to home.
3 dangerously unfit extremists – running away from their own words – and who lack the skills or judgment to protect the national security, safety, health, and constitution. Our world is in too dangerous a place and time to take such huge risks. pic.twitter.com/WPsisl4Tm5
