“We do not know what led to this crash, but we have some very strong opinions and ideas,” President Trump said from the White House.

He criticized the Obama adminsitration for the quality of air traffic controllers that Trump inherited during his first term in the White House, saying he needed to make sure they were of “superior intelligence.” The Biden administration, he said, “Changed them back to lower than ever before."

Trump is now criticizing “diversity” in hiring by the Federal Aviation Administration under his predecessors, after he ended a number of diversity, equity and inclusion programs across the government after taking office for his second term. There is no evidence, at least  yet, to suggest that the air traffic controllers were at fault in the crash.

In his first press briefing back in the White House, President Trump, who has long been criticized for an “empathy gap,” quickly moves from mourning the victims to political attacks. He assails former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as “a disaster,” blaming him for diversity objectives at the F.A.A. The inference is that diversity by definition means incompetent.

President Trump is now suggesting that the U.S. Army helicopter was at fault in the crash, saying that while the pilots of the plane were “doing everything right,” the helicopter that struck it was “going at an angle that was unbelievably bad.”
