US President Donald Trump addressed the nation last night to discuss a tragic plane crash in Washington DC, which occurred during a US-bound American Airlines flight. Trump claimed that former President Barack Obama’s legacy was responsible for the crash, stating that he brought people with “mental problems” into the FAA under his leadership.
Trump also made disparaging remarks about the Department of Transportation and its new Secretary, Sean Duffy. He described the DEI push under Obama as “bull—-” and claimed it had undermined the FAA.
However, in a statement released through Truth Social this morning, Trump expressed sympathy for those affected by the tragedy, stating that he had been “fully briefed” on the accident and offered his condolences to the families of the victims. He also thanked first responders for their work and said he was monitoring the situation.
The Irish government and the Kremlin have since shared their sympathies with the victims, condemning the air crash as a “terrible accident”. Trump’s comments on the incident have been widely criticized, with many labeling his statements as “reckless” and “an attack on common decency”.
