    He’s trying to throw up a smokescreen for his role in this.

    The sad thing is that a whole lot of his douchebro base will buy into it.

    Imagine this being said in a nasal, whiny voice: “If only it had been a White Hawk helicopter, this wouldn’t have happened.”

    Donald blames the squirrels on the White House lawn for the global economy crashing. He will pull anything out of his ass, sorry, meant diaper.

    It’s great he blames Obama because he had 4 years to fix whatever problems he alleges but didn’t.

    Obama could have stopped this all from happening from his Georges Soros - secretly funded, evil lair. The one that’s 5 miles underground in Kenya and churns out adrenochrome from all of the ‘pizza’ they make. After all, he has steered hurricanes and burned cities to ashes with space lasers.

    Executive Order here:

    01/30/2025 - Immediate Assessment of Aviation Safety – The White House

    https://web.archive.org/web/20250130223803/https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/immediate-assessment-of-aviation-safety/

    Officially blaming the aircraft incident in D.C., without founding, on DEI:

    “This shocking event follows problematic and likely illegal decisions during the Obama and Biden Administrations that minimized merit and competence in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Obama Administration implemented a biographical questionnaire at the FAA to shift the hiring focus away from objective aptitude. During my first term, my Administration raised standards to achieve the highest standards of safety and excellence. But the Biden Administration egregiously rejected merit-based hiring, requiring all executive departments and agencies to implement dangerous “diversity equity and inclusion” tactics, and specifically recruiting individuals with “severe intellectual” disabilities in the FAA.”

    The incredible thing is that if he hadn’t gone on a binge the past week cutting everything including the FAA, he could maybe sell that there were recent problems in the FAA and he’d try to fix them. Once again he misses the mark in being a leader and goes the exact opposite direction. Not even saying this was directly connected to his actions, but what he’s done so far sure hasn’t helped, nor has his blame shifting.

      If he had only released the long form birth certificate that wasn’t a forgery we wouldn’t be in this mess!
