Trump...just STFU...

The stupid politicization of everything. Capitalize right away all the time.

This is the sort of thing that investigative journalists can spend time working on... and share if there is anything there.
But we don't do that anymore. We just have idiots that spend 5 minutes researching before making bold proclamations.
 
What he said during the presser was unconscionable. What he said about disabilities was particularly egregious.

My father was a test pilot in WWII. He was a disabled veteran, and retired for disability. He went on to have a strong career in civil service for the AF, including being on the IG staff and Director of Safety for Air Weather Service.

I’m sure the usual suspects that jumped on Chis in the other thread will be here shortly to condemn Trump’s statements as well.

Chis nailed it it the other thread. Im sure apologies are forthcoming.

The difference is we didn't want to discuss politics. We wanted to discuss the event. Chis tried to make it political.

Chis doesn't need an apology.

Random internet poster makes sad situation political. MAGA reaction: WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT

POTUS makes sad situation political with disgusting remarks. MAGA reaction: radio silence.
 
This presser is a damn disaster.

What real leader would be saying this crap at this time?

Assigning blame less than 24 hours after the crash.
I hope he has damn solid information given his implications. Real leader could give as all available information he has or a bad leader could blame something not actually at fault.

It may be he does have this information right now and he is being transparent about it. They certainly have all the information we need about the controller and pilot. Experience, background, psychological profile testing scores, etc

If he knows that the controller or pilot had red flags, was under qualified, standards lowered to allow either of them to work, or had failed some of his standards but was working anyway that is critical.

BUT, I agree, if the implications were made and this is on no basis at all, thats shameful.

Keep in mind this. Often in things of this nature the President is briefed and his staff have talked to the principles. The briefing will have key details and information that will put certain aspects in front in regard to fault. Normally, the early pressers have very little information and they talk a lot about 'pending the investigation' etc. But frequently this is a delaying tactic and sometimes the probable cause is strongly suspected even early. Perhaps this President is being transparent for once and giving us the information he knows. IF however, he is jumping to conclusions on his own personal biases then that is quite irresponsible I agree. Time will tell which is correct.

I think we should all wait to see what comes from this as it gets investigated and judge from there.

Ill admit, his comments made me uncomfortable for sure and all I could think of was, I hope you have very solid information given your implications.

Many on here will say, well Trump is such a terrible person, of course hes 'Trump doing Trump' and blaming folks that don't deserve it based on his history. We will see.

The implication I took from this was that the controller or pilot had red flags in his/her qualifications or profile and shouldn't have been in the job. For his sake I hope that evidence exists.

My feelings as well. As always there will be numerous chances to argue political angles in regard to the tragedy, The thread on the actual crash as it evolved in real time didn’t need politics injected in it.
