Summary
After a mid-air collision between a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter and an American Eagle flight near Washington, D.C., Trump speculated on Truth Social, questioning why the crash wasn’t avoided.
Billionaire Bill Ackman suggested terrorism, though the FBI found no evidence of criminal activity.
Officials confirmed 67 people were onboard but have not reported fatalities. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser urged patience as rescue efforts continue.
Trump’s comments have fueled conspiracy theories despite the lack of confirmed details.
Yes. The president should ask these questions, to the relevant leaders of agencies that would be involved in the crash, and then there should be a full investigation, ad the end of which the president will receive a report of the findings before they are released to the public.
The president standing behind a podium at a press conference and asking these questions publicly, while directing them at seemingly no one, or possibly everyone, is completely retarded. It serves no purpose other than to sow chaos and fuel conspiracy bullshit.
It also shows a complete lack of understanding of what the office of the president is, what it does, how it does it, and how to use it properly.
Trumps clock is ticking, and the second hand is getting louder and louger.
I agree with your points (except for maybe the clock ticking), but let’s avoid using ableist slurs.
