Summary

Trump blamed diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) hiring policies for a fatal plane crash in Washington, D.C., despite no evidence linking them.

He accused the Biden and Obama administrations of lowering FAA safety standards, while ignoring that the crash occurred under his presidency.

His comments sparked backlash, with former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg calling them “despicable” and Sen. Chris Van Hollen condemning the politicization of the tragedy.

    The President in particular is very much a figurehead — he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it. - HHGTTG

    Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. - Douglas Adams
