Donald Trump took to the White House press room on Thursday to deliver what should have been a solemn presidential duty.
He began in traditional form, expressing condolences for the victims and praising first responders.
But then, as only Trump can, he shifted gears sharply.
What Did the President Say?
“We don’t know what caused this crash, but we have some strong opinions,” Trump said, before pointing a finger at hiring practices under Joe Biden and Barack Obama.
Without citing evidence, he suggested that diversity programs in the Federal Aviation Administration may have contributed to the disaster.
Trump Provides No Evidence
His administration has prioritized dismantling such programs, arguing they have weakened the country rather than strengthened it.
So, less than a day after the first major U.S. air disaster in over a decade, Trump seized the moment to drive home their point—again, without concrete proof.
