Trump blamed for future plane crashes just hours before DC tragedy

Some things are so spooky that it's hard to believe they're only a coincidence.

The Daily Mail is reporting that "a University of Maryland professor made an eerily-timed post blaming Donald Trump for future plane crashes just hours before the deadly collision in Washington, DC."

On the morning of the horrific crash between American Airlines Flight 5342 from Wichita, Kansas, and a US Army helicopter, Donald Trump was blamed for future plane crashes in America.

The tweet

An FAA employee I know confirms agency already lacks sufficient air traffic controllers. The so-called “buyouts” and other attacks on federal employees won’t help.

Remember that fact when the flight delays (crashes?) commence and Trumpers start falsely blaming DEI or Biden.

As if predicting the fact that there would be crashes in the future wasn't wild enough, Dr. Schaller was also able to exactly predict what Donald Trump's reaction to the tragedy would be.

Shortly after the crash, Donald Trump was suggesting that DEI programs installed by Barack Obama and Joe Biden could have been what caused the crash.

"We have to have our smartest people" as air traffic controllers, Trump said. He was implying that Joe Biden's DEI hiring practices resulted in underqualified people being picked for important positions based on their skin tone or gender.

While it is an indisputable fact that Joe Biden picked his Vice President and his Supreme Court nominee based on skin tone and gender, many people were upset that Trump implied that air traffic controllers may have been picked based on the same reasons.

Trump continued, "It doesn’t matter what they look like, how they speak, who they are. ... They have to be talented, naturally talented. Geniuses. Can’t have regular people doing their job. We can’t have regular people doing this job. They won’t be able to do it, but we’ll restore faith in American air travel."

Trump added that the FAA said "people with severe disabilities are the most underrepresented segment of the workforce, that they want them" to be "air traffic controllers. I don’t think so."

America's White House released a memo on January 30 saying that the Biden administration recruited "individuals with 'severe intellectual' disabilities in the FAA" under diversity, equity and inclusion hiring."

The tragedy

The American Airlines flight and the Army Blackhawk helicopter appeared to be facing each other head-on leading up to the crash.

Reports indicate that the helicopter's path remained relatively straight while the American Airlines flight veered to make its landing, and the two collided.

Donald Trump didn't wait long after the tragedy to blame Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and their DEI policies. Trump's response was met with outrage from the left who accused him of politicizing a tragedy.

Please pray for the families of everyone who was on board these aircraft, and pray that our leaders are able to prevent something like this from happening again.
