The Trump administration struggled with a lot of difficulties, the latest being the crash of a passenger plane and an army helicopter that resulted in the deaths of the other 64 people on board.
The aircraft, which took off from Wichita, Kansas, collided with the military aircraft and subsequently fell into the Potomac River. Trump has blamed the air traffic controllers, as it has been revealed that there was only one on duty to control planes and helicopters, when in fact there should have been at least two.
At the press conference about what happened, the president had a moot moment when he joked about the stop tying up the disaster scene: “I have a stop on planned, but not to the site, because tell me what the site is, the water?What do you need to swim?” This has gone viral on social media, as it demonstrates a lack of empathy for patients and their families.
However, the president is clear that this is not a mistake of his administration, but another failure of Joe Biden: “We don’t know what caused the accident, but we have very strong opinions and ideas. The crew should have seen where they were going. They were at an incredibly bad angle. They could have slowed the helicopter down, they could have stopped it, or gone up or down. For some reason, it just kept going,” he explained first.
To then attack his democratic opponents: “We will have to have only the highest criteria for those that run on our aviation system. I replaced Obama’s criteria, which were very mediocre to the common ones. The highest and most psychologically incredible intellect can qualify for air traffic controllers.
He then went directly after Biden, saying that standards were “lower than ever”: “Obama, Biden and the Democrats put politics first,” he said. “The FAA’s diversity push includes a focus on hiring people with severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities. That’s amazing,” he said, making it clear that this is something he is totally against.
“The FAA’s website states that they include people with hearing, vision, limb, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism, all of whom qualify for the position of controller of aircraft coming into our country,” he said.
