I Want to Point Out: SADIST TRUMP Blames Disabled Workers For Tragic Crash in Profane New Rant

Trump Drove Out Key Aviation Safety Officials Before Crash = Because of Musk

AND UNHINGED Trump Blames Obama and Biden For Tragic Plane Crash

MSNRAW 30 JAN 2025

Donald Trump blamed mentally and physically disabled workers for a deadly collision between an American Airlines passenger jet and a U.S. Army helicopter.

The president blamed his two predecessors Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and specifically policies aimed at recruiting and hiring people with disabilities.

BUT The Federal Aviation Administration conducted similar initiatives during Trumps first term and even launched in 2019 to enroll up to 20 people with disabilities in training for careers in air traffic operations.

Trump fired or pushed out some of the relevant officials who would otherwise be responsible for looking into a collision between a passenger jet and a U.S. Army helicopter near Washington, D.C.

The Federal Aviation Administration currently has no Senate-
confirmed leader after top administrator Michael Whitaker was forced out under pressure from Elon Musk, who had demanded his resignation in September for proposing fines of more than $600,000 for SpaceX over safety concerns, reported The Daily Beast.

The FAA space division is harassing SpaceX about nonsense that doesnt affect safety while giving a free pass to Boeing even after NASA concluded that their spacecraft was not safe enough to bring back the astronauts, Musk posted Sept. 17 on his X platform.

Musk had complained that Whitaker was blocking his goal of sending humans to Mars.

When Asked Will You Visit AA/Black Hawk Crash TRUMP Snarled '''You Want Me to Go Swimming? '''

AP 31 JAN 2025

Trump appeared agitated Thursday afternoon after a reporter inquired whether he'll visit the site of a mid-air crash between an American Airlines regional jet and a military Black Hawk helicopter.

Trump took questions from the White House, including one in which a reporter asked if he had plans to go visit the site.

I have a plan to visit. Not the site. Because you tell me ? whats the site? The water? Want me to go swimming?" he retorted. The reporter clarified that she was talking about meeting with the first responders in the area.

'''No I dont have a plan to do that'''

Puts Us In Limbo: ALL Air Traffic Controllers RESIGN at Hugely Important Airport

'''SCARE Them Into Quitting''': TRUMPs Threating Letter to Air Workers May Have Led to Crash, Causing Many to QUIT

MSNRAW 31 JAN 2025

Trump offered millions of federal workers seven months of pay in advance if they quit their jobs. Days later, a mid-air collision between a regional jet and a military helicopter killed dozens outside the Washington D.C. National Airport. One senator thinks the two events may be related.

Politico reported Thursday evening that the deadly Wednesday night crash above the Potomac River that killed 60 American Airlines passengers and four crew members along with three U.S. Army pilots in a Black Hawk helicopter has lawmakers and aviation officials demanding answers.

During a Thursday press conference, officials with the National Transportation Safety Board promised to fully investigate the crash to determine what caused the fatal error, though they cautioned it could take a year or more before their investigation is complete.

The New York Times reported earlier Thursday that the air traffic controller who was on duty at the time of the crash was performing duties normally done by TWO controllers, and that staffing levels were not normal on Wednesday night. And Politico reported that airports across the country have had a critical shortage of air traffic controllers for years, mostly due to a lack of funding appropriated by Congress for hiring and training new airport control tower workers.

According to the Times, many air traffic controllers work six days a week for as much as 10 hours per day.

One California airport is now without any air traffic controllers, and its unclear when the airport will be able to replace them.

San Carlos Airport, which lies along the final approach to San Francisco International Airport (SFO), will no longer have anyone manning its control tower. The resignations came after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reassigned controllers' contracts to a firm that pays less.

Airport manager Gretchen Kelly said understandably, all current controllers have declined offers. The proposed compensation packages for air traffic controllers reportedly did not account for the Bay Area having the highest cost of living in the nation, which is roughly 18% higher than the national average. The region has had the highest cost of living in the U.S. for six consecutive years, with the San Jose and Napa areas close behind.

Alessandro Franco said air traffic control at the airport is hugely important due to its proximity to SFO and its typically busy airspace. Aircraft approaching the San Carlos Airport alternates between communicating with air traffic controllers at San Carlos and those at SFO.

Now, hes worried the resignation of controllers will mean there is another layer of safety thats not going to be present.

This is a situation that puts us in limbo next to these busy airports.

NTSB Fought to Retain Employees After TRUMPs FED Worker Resignation Offer

NTSB Official: '''We Need People to Take Action''', After TRUMPs Dangerous Actions

An internal NTSB memo informed employees Friday that they would not be eligible for TRUMPs program

AP 2 FEB 2025

Search and rescue teams work in the aftermath of the collision of American Eagle flight 5342 and a Black Hawk helicopter that crashed into the Potomac River, as seen from Virginia

When Asked Will You Visit AA/Black Hawk Crash & First Responders TRUMP Snarled'''NO, You Want Me to Go Swimming? '''

In the wake of the worst American air disaster in two decades, the understaffed and cash-strapped National Transportation Safety Board was scrambling to keep investigators from leaving after federal employees received an offer by Trump to resign and be paid through September.

NTSB, an independent and apolitical agency that does not report to the executive branch, investigates transportation accidents, provides aid to those affected by them and recommends safety measures. Multiple sources confirmed that all 400 of its staffers received the email titled Fork in the Road effectively offering a buyout from the federal government.

That message, dated 9:41 p.m. ET Tuesday, went out barely 23 hours before an American Airlines regional jet operated by PSA Airlines and a US Army Blackhawk helicopter collided in a tremendous fireball, plunging all 67 on board the two aircraft into the icy Potomac River below. There were no survivors.

The disaster apparently left top brass at the agency scrambling behind the scenes to find a way to exempt employees from the Trump administrations offer. Friday, the head of the NTSB sent a message to any employee who agreed to administrations initial message to rescind their deferred resignation letter immediately with the Office of Personnel Management.

One source said the initial message came as a shock to staffers, including highly specialized investigators, many of whom are nearing retirement. Its not like we have an easy time finding people, the source said.

Given the nature of our safety work, limited budget, and the ongoing investigation of the highest fatality, mass casualty aviation accident since 9/11, said the email message viewed by CNN, we need each and every position represented at our agency in order for us to successfully carry out our mission critical work.

Federal employees are confused, and angered by Trumps offer to quit

TRUMPs FAA Control Staff Crackdown Begins; Hundreds Fired After Deadly DC Plane Crash Sparks Massive Purge

Unstable Trump Begins Firing Air Traffic Control Staff After SEVEN Plane Crashes

'''He is good at firing but NOT solving problems'''

The Economic Times 18 FEB 2025

Trump has begun firing several hundred Federal Aviation Administration employees, upending staff on a busy air travel weekend

Trump, guided by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), reportedly began firing staff responsible for air traffic control amid more than a half dozen recent airplane crashes.

Probationary employees at the Federal Aviation Administration began receiving emails on Friday night saying they would be terminated.

Probationary workers were targeted in late-night emails Friday notifying them they had been fired, David Spero, president of the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists union, said in a statement.

The impacted workers include personnel hired for FAA radar, landing and navigational aid maintenance, one air traffic controller told The Associated Press. The air traffic controller was not authorized to talk to the media and spoke on condition of anonymity.

In a message posted to X late Monday, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said fewer than 400 FAA employees were fired and Zero air traffic controllers and critical safety personnel were let go.

A Transportation Department official told the AP earlier Monday that the agency has retained employees who perform critical safety functions. In a follow-up query the agency said they would have to look into whether the radar, landing and navigational aid workers affected were considered to handle critical safety functions.

Two American Airlines Jets Clip Wings

Two American Airlines jet have had a collision on the ground at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport - just three months after a deadly crash near there.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the wingtip of one aircraft struck another on the taxiway on Thursday afternoon. At least two members of Congress were aboard one of the jets.

Sixty-seven people died on 29 January when an Army helicopter collided in midair with a jetliner as it landed at the same airport.

LaLota posted on X: Serving in Congress has come with some once in a lifetime experiences? like just now while stationary on the runway at DCA, another plane just bumped into our wing. Heading back to the gate, but thankfully everyone is ok LaLota added.

The Federal Aviation Administration said: The wingtip of American Airlines Flight 5490 struck American Airlines Flight 4522 on a taxiway at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport around 12:45pm local time on Thursday, 10 April.

Flight 5490, a Bombardier CRJ 900, was headed to Charleston International Airport in South Carolina. Flight 4522, an Embraer E175, was headed to JFK International Airport in New York. The FAA will investigate.

US Air Traffic Control Outages -40 Radar & Radio PROBLEMS at Dozens of Airports After TRUMPs DOGE Cuts - Which Caused SEVERE Staff Shortages and Maintenance PROBLEMS

PASSENGERS flying out of major US airports have raised concerns over safety and flight delays amid a flood of air traffic control outages.

AP 22 MAY 2025

Flyers across the US are on edge as a string of air traffic control failures disrupt major airports

Newark has been plagued by four communication failures in a month

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said earlier this month that air traffic control equipment is old and under strain and its time to fix it

Fear has spread among travellers after a recent wave of radar and radio blackouts left pilots temporarily unable to communicate with controllers across the country.

The latest breakdown hit Newark Liberty International Airport on Monday, the fourth in a month at the busy New Jersey hub.

Houston, Denver, and Atlanta have also reported recent outages, affecting pilots ability to talk to controllers.

A radio outage struck May 19 at Newark, according to Reuters and CNN, marking the latest in a growing list of alarming failures.

One day earlier, on May 18, a power problem hit William P. Hobby Airport in Houston, Texas, after a power issue, the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed.

Pilots and controllers at Denver International Airport lost contact on May 12 when several radio transmitters failed. Controllers had to switch to a backup frequency to direct planes.

Flights in and out of the Hartsfield Jackson airport in Atlanta were disrupted on May 11 after an equipment outage at the airports control tower.

That same day, the FAA issued a 45 minute ground stop due to a telecom failure at Philadelphias TRACON Area C facility, which oversees Newark traffic.

TRUMPs Cuts are causing ADDED STRESS to remaining staff

Travel Chaos Strikes US Airports - Hundreds of Flights Cancelled in US as Airlines Scramble to Cut Traffic During Shutdown Due to Air Traffic Controller Shortages

NOT Gonna Happen Trump Official Says Thanksgiving Travel About to Slow to a Trickle

BBC News 10 NOV 2025

Airports have been grappling with air traffic controller shortages, who are either calling in sick or taking side jobs as they work without pay during the federal government shutdown

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Sunday WARNED for many of the millions of Americans hoping to fly for Thanksgiving, their plans were not gonna happen, predicting air traffic would slow to a trickle

Nearly 2,000 flights in the US are cancelled or delayed after airlines were told to cut traffic during the government shutdown

Domestic flights at 40 of the countrys busiest airports will be affected as officials try to ease pressure on air traffic controllers

More than 4,200 flights have been delayed and 1,520 have been cancelled as of Sunday as shortages of air traffic controllers continue to increase amid the ongoing government shutdown, which has left them without any pay since mid October.

Duffy was quick to immediately blame Democrats for the flight disruptions, who have refused to back any spending measure that doesnt include funding for Obamacare subsidies, which, if allowed to expire, would see health insurance premiums skyrocket for millions of Americans and cause an estimated 4 million to lose coverage.

As everyone wants to travel to see their families, I think we're going to see very few air traffic controllers coming to work, which means you'll have a few flights taking off

The thousands of flights that happen every day that move people around the country for this great American holiday Its not gonna happen Duffy continued

'He Wouldnt Last Five Minutes' Trump Torched Over Air Traffic Controller Threat

Trump hit out at air traffic controllers in a post to Truth Social on Monday, warning those who didnt return to work would have their pay substantially docked.

MSRAW 11 NOV 2025

Buttigieg, the former secretary of transportation, responded to Trumps statement with a post of his own to X.

He wouldnt last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through and the way this administration has treated them from Day One he has no business sxxting on them now, Buttigieg said.

For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL - LIE - shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU, Trump railed.

You didnt step up to help the U.S. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK that was only meant to hurt our Country. You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind, against your record.

If you want to leave service in the near future, please do not hesitate to do so, with NO payment or severance of any kind

You will be quickly replaced by true Patriots, who will do a better job on the Brand New State of the Art Equipment, the best in the World, that we are in the process of ordering

Nick LaLota, a New York Republican, said no-one was hurt when the wing of their stationary plane was "bumped" by another jet. Advertisement Sixty-seven people died on 29 January when an Army helicopter collided in midair with a jetliner as it landed at the same airport. LaLota posted on X: Serving in Congress has come with some once in a lifetime experiences? like just now while stationary on the runway at DCA, another plane just bumped into our wing. Heading back to the gate, but thankfully everyone is ok LaLota added. The Federal Aviation Administration said: The wingtip of American Airlines Flight 5490 struck American Airlines Flight 4522 on a taxiway at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport around 12:45pm local time on Thursday, 10 April. Flight 5490, a Bombardier CRJ 900, was headed to Charleston International Airport in South Carolina. Flight 4522, an Embraer E175, was headed to JFK International Airport in New York.

AP 22 MAY 2025 Flyers across the US are on edge as a string of air traffic control failures disrupt major airports Newark has been plagued by four communication failures in a month Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said earlier this month that air traffic control equipment is old and under strain and its time to fix it Fear has spread among travellers after a recent wave of radar and radio blackouts left pilots temporarily unable to communicate with controllers across the country. The latest breakdown hit Newark Liberty International Airport on Monday, the fourth in a month at the busy New Jersey hub. Houston, Denver, and Atlanta have also reported recent outages, affecting pilots ability to talk to controllers. A radio outage struck May 19 at Newark, according to Reuters and CNN, marking the latest in a growing list of alarming failures. One day earlier, on May 18, a power problem hit William P. Hobby Airport in Houston, Texas, after a power issue, the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed. Pilots and controllers at Denver International Airport lost contact on May 12 when several radio transmitters failed. Controllers had to switch to a backup frequency to direct planes. Flights in and out of the Hartsfield Jackson airport in Atlanta were disrupted on May 11 after an equipment outage at the airports control tower. That same day, the FAA issued a 45 minute ground stop due to a telecom failure at Philadelphias TRACON Area C facility, which oversees Newark traffic. *TRUMPs Cuts are causing ADDED STRESS to remaining staff*

Duffy was quick to immediately blame Democrats for the flight disruptions, who have refused to back any spending measure that doesnt include funding for Obamacare subsidies, which, if allowed to expire, would see health insurance premiums skyrocket for millions of Americans and cause an estimated 4 million to lose coverage. As everyone wants to travel to see their families, I think we're going to see very few air traffic controllers coming to work, which means you'll have a few flights taking off The thousands of flights that happen every day that move people around the country for this great American holiday Its not gonna happen Duffy continued Flights Cut at Dozens of Major US Airports https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fRAi-Q31zo

MSRAW 11 NOV 2025 Buttigieg, the former secretary of transportation, responded to Trumps statement with a post of his own to X. He wouldnt last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through and the way this administration has treated them from Day One he has no business sxxting on them now, Buttigieg said. For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL - LIE - shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU, Trump railed. You didnt step up to help the U.S. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK that was only meant to hurt our Country. You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind, against your record. If you want to leave service in the near future, please do not hesitate to do so, with NO payment or severance of any kind *You will be quickly replaced by true Patriots, who will do a better job on the Brand New State of the Art Equipment, the best in the World, that we are in the process of ordering*
