    I was reading the BBC live updates of the ‘briefing’ where Trump ‘answered questions.’ Starts at 17:21 if you scroll down.

    Of course he blames it on DEI hires. He also blamed the helicopter and later said it was because of ‘practicing.’

    Why does he think it’s DEI hires, you ask? Well, Trump answered, and I quote: “Because I have common sense, and unfortunately a lot of people don’t.”

    What the actual fuck. Donald “I have common sense” fucking Trump. Lmfao.

      God, I hate how many people think “common sense” is a legitimate argument.

      While the claim is absolutely fucking insane, I will absolutely not be surprised if when the names are released we find out that one or more of the pilots flying were people of colour and it’s just trump playing racist trump things.

      I don’t think it’s the fault of any of the pilots regardless of their race, but I can fully see trump’s pipeline of POC pilot = dei hire = plane crash as “common sense”.

      European politics is like a mirror at this point. A UK politician basically said virtually exactly the same thing, “I don’t make mistakes”, a few days ago, and then proceeded to make an absolute tit of themselves 24 hours later.

        You have to rub literal tons of cash into their face before you can rub their face into the mess they created. It also helps to be Russian. I don’t know I’m just sayin’.
