President Donald Trump's response to the tragic midair collision over the Potomac River, which resulted in 67 deaths, sparked condemnation for its focus on division and conspiracy. Democratic Rep. Becca Balint criticized Trump's lack of empathy and his unfounded claims linking the disaster to diversity and inclusion policies. Instead of leading with compassion, Trump turned the tragedy into a political issue, speculating without evidence, and suggesting that hiring practices at the FAA were to blame, undermining the investigation and grieving families.
This press conference was unhinged, even by Trump's standards. People are grieving, families are in shock, and instead of offering leadership or empathy, the president turned this into a bizarre political circus.
Trump speculated that hiring practices at the Federal Aviation Administration were responsible for the tragedy, insisting that his administration would reverse the damage done by DEI and woke policies.
