Trump turns tragedy into tirade in racist rant

American Eagle Flight No. 5342 crashed into a Sikorsky H-60 Black Hawk helicopter at around 9 p.m. Wednesday night, January 29, 2025.

The flight was preparing for landing at Reagan National Airport, inbound from Wichita, Kansas and carrying 64 people.

The Black Hawk helicopter the flight collided with was a “Priority Air Transport” flight, designated for transporting senior U.S. officials, and was crewed by three US Army members.

All 67 people are believed to be deceased.

This is the deadliest crash in America since November 2001.

And while the families were waiting for notifications and the country was waiting for answers, Trump let the country down by race-baiting the disaster.

Trump blamed Obama, Biden and DEI initiatives in an unhinged press conference after the event, even though records released by the US Army show that all three members of the US military who were on the helicopter were white men.

Trump went further and blamed Pete Buttigeg, though under his tenure as Secretary of Transportation there were no air disasters or crashes.
