In addition to blaming the predecessors of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, Trump also rant about former transport secretary Pete Buttigieg, calling him “a disaster” directed by the Federal Aviation Administration to the field with diversity policies.

In fact, Trump and his team leaned on him, then inviting the media to see him sign a presidential memorandum to review all hiring decisions and security protocols in the FAA in the last four years, and replace “anyone who does not meet the qualification standards. ”
Trump’s anti-dei war is covert in the language of merit and competition; The United States should be a meritocracy, Cube, especially when it comes to aviation security, where only the best will work. There is a valid debate about the practices of Dei Corporate and the Government, and thanks to the president’s electoral victory and subsequent decisions, that debate is largely worldwide.
Therefore, there is no need for him to kidnap and politicize this tragedy to double his agenda. Buttigieg avoided reacting to Trump’s personal jokes, but correctly described his broader comments as “despicable.” British historian Simon Schama called them “nausea.”
“It is difficult to find adequate words for the ethical abyss of which this response could arrive at that time,” Schama wrote in X. “No one who resembles a current human being could do this and say this.”

Congress members called him disgusting and racist.
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is notoriously congested with a congested airspace surrounded by numerous military bases. There were at least two nearby calls at that airport last year: the same year that Congress approved additional flights at the airport, despite the objections of people such as Virginia Tim Kaine senator, who have sounded the alarm on this during this Some time.
In addition, private lack is an important problem in air traffic management towers in the United States, and now there are reports that may have been a problem in Reagan at night.
Public hint unbridled by nothing less than the president should go to the NTSB, the world’s leading air accident research unit. At a press conference, his president Jennifer Homendy said she informed Trump in the afternoon, after her morning diatribe.

But when he was asked above all this, Homendy seemed resigned. The NTSB was used to speculate on the blockages, he said, usually of the media.
Which demonstrates the danger of normalizing part of Trump’s behavior. It is not just a web guy or a television panelist that pontifies about possible causes, is the president of the United States behind a podium in the White House.
