US president, Donald Trump has been slammed by American citizens after he used the plane crash in Washington DC to attack his political enemies.
TheNewsGuru reports that the deadly mid-air crash between American Eagle Flight 5342 and a military helicopter, Army Black Hawk took place on Wednesday, Jan, 29th. The incident is presumed to have claimed the lives of all 60 passengers on board.
According to a report from CNN, more than 40 bodies have been recovered from Potomac river as of Thursday afternoon.
Reacting to the incident, Trump blamed former President Joe Biden and diversity, equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The president was backed by the transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, the defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, and vice president, JD Vance, who claimed, “We want to hire the best people … actually competent enough to do the job.”
Trump also signed an executive order titled “Immediate Assessment of Aviation Safety,’ arguing that DEI polices compromise competency in crucial roles.
When pressed for evidence linking DEI policies to the crash, Trump admitted he had no specifics but insisted his belief was based on ‘’common sense.’’
This angered Americans and they took to X to call Trump a national disgrace, causing the hashtag “Trump is a national disgrace” to trend.
