This comes after an American Airlines flight from Wichita, Kansas, collided with a US military helicopter on Wednesday night.
President Trump has blamed incompetence and DEI hiring practices as a potential cause of Wednesday’s tragedy. The president addressed the crash during a press conference Thursday and pointed out the disastrous record of Pete Buttigieg, the DEI hire and former Transportation Secretary.
