When asked if he would go to the plane crash page over the Potomac River in Washington on Thursday, US President Donald Trump reacted bitterly and reacted,” You want me to get swimming,” he replied bitterly.
On Wednesday night, a plane and a military aircraft collided in midair, which was fatal. All 67 life on board were presumed lost in the affair. More than 40 systems have been recovered from the valley as of Thursday afternoon, according to a document from CNN citing sources.
When the investigators at the White House asked whether he would visit the site, Trump responded,” I have a plan to visit, not the site. Because you tell me, what’s the page? The ocean? You want me to come swimming”?
His remarks were quickly taken down on social press, with many calling them unsuitable and callous in the midst of such a tragedy.
“67 folks die under his view, and he makes a joke? Cruel, ruthless, completely lacking in empathy”, one person wrote.
” We are quite a deeply unserious state occasionally”, another added.
Trump blames Biden, La plans
Despite the ongoing investigation into the cause of the crash, Trump was quick to blame former President Joe Biden and diversity, equity, and inclusion ( DEI ) initiatives. He argued that DEI policies deal competence in essential tasks by signing an executive get titled” Immediate Assessment of Aviation Safety.”
” We want the most qualified people”, Trump said. ” We don’t care what race they are. We want the most skilled people, particularly in those opportunities. You’re talking about incredibly complex stuff, and if they don’t have a great mind, a great strength of the head, they’re not going to be really good at what they do and bad things will happen”.
When asked for proof that DEI policies were to blame for the crash, Trump acknowledged he had no specifics but that his assertion was based on” common sense.”
Meeting subjects ‘ families
Trump also made an announcement to meet with the victims ‘ families, but he did not specify when. ” I will be meeting with some people that were very seriously hurt with their family members, certainly, but I’ll get meeting with some of the people, yeah”, he said.
Due to the diminishing visibility and hard water conditions, recovery efforts at the crash site were halted on Thursday evening. More searching efforts may involve the removal of airplane parts from the river, according to officials.
