    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.

      Yes, he blamed DEI and specifically said it was due to the FAA hiring people with mental and physical disabilities.

      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.

    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.

        Instead of Trump’s own major enshitification of the quality of government causing the morale of federal workers to plummet.

      Never give up a good or even bad opportunity to try and throw someone in front of a bus. An opportunity not seized is a opportunity missed.

    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.

    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.

      He caused this to happen with his various actions of enshitifying the quality of government.
