Summary
After a mid-air collision between a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter and an American Eagle flight near Washington, D.C., Trump speculated on Truth Social, questioning why the crash wasn’t avoided.
Billionaire Bill Ackman suggested terrorism, though the FBI found no evidence of criminal activity.
Officials confirmed 67 people were onboard but have not reported fatalities. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser urged patience as rescue efforts continue.
Trump’s comments have fueled conspiracy theories despite the lack of confirmed details.
I hope Trump guts aviation safety and planes start crashing left and right like they used to. Make air crashes great again.
People won’t stand for it and the blame will rest with Republicans.
I. Um. Do not. I don’t like trump but I would really like for some reason his stupid decisions to not have the inevitable consequences.
He already did that, last week.
