    I hate Trump as much as anyone else here, but I fail to see how his FAA firings cause this accident. Can you explain how this is his fault?

    edit: Thanks for the downvotes assuming I’m a sealion, just because I asked a question.

      Trump loves to blame people for things they have no direct control over, like blaming Boden for the cost of eggs, while taking credit for anything positive that happens while he is in office that had nothing to do with him.

      I assumed OP was mocking that attitude, but could be wrong.

      The Buck Stops With Trump. You have no idea what directives Pete Hegseth gave the Pentagon which effected the orders, maintenance, or operation of the BlackHawk Helicopter which flew into the plane killing everyone. When incompetence is put in charge, things break, sometimes slowly, sometimes immediately, and when you purposefully throw a monkey wrench into the internal operations of state organs, people die. And now people have died, on Donald Trump’s watch. The Buck Stops With Him as it has with all other Presidents before him.

        That article says that they have been dealing with staffing issues for some time.

          And you don’t think the firing of even more employees didn’t have an effect?

            Not in that incident, no. It may affect the future, but that incident seemed to be pilot error according to the ATC recordings.

      That’s some stupid fucking horseshit. It would be nearly impossible to fire a large part of an organization without a noticeable effect. Here we have fatal evidence of that. Yeah people assume you’re coming in bad faith because how could we not?

        I’m all for making Trump look bad, so is you feel that this will damage him, I’m in. I just want to see some evidence or an ATC that would agree.

      Trump plays to the American egregor of the CEO as Kingmaker. Literally proposes frequently running the USA as a business.

      When you are the CEO the responsibility of the entire thing lies with you.

      Now I don’t agree with Trump, but it’s merely holding him to his own standards.

        When you put it that way, I agree. You want to be the king, you take the blame.
