President Donald Trump called a plane crash that has left 67 people presumed dead an "hour of anguish" but later claimed diversity, equity and inclusion hiring policies could be responsible.

Trump blames everyone he can.

“The FAA is actively recruiting workers who suffer severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency’s website,” said Trump, noting that the program allowed for the hiring of people with hearing and vision issues as well as paralysis, epilepsy and “dwarfism.”

    All this dude had to say was “This was a tragic loss and we are investigating the matter to ensure it does not happen again.”

    When the obvious right answer is staring him in the face, he just can’t help but spin conspiracy theories and lie about shit to further his political agenda. Hijacking a tragedy or stirring up avoidable controversy to keep all the other insane shit he’s doing out of the news is basically his MO at this point.

      Trump is not capable of that type of thought process. He doesn’t actually give a shit about anyone else but himself. He is only interested in the benefits of being in power, mainly enrichment of his own wealth.
