I was reading the BBC live updates of the 'briefing' where Trump 'answered questions.' Starts at 17:21 if you scroll down.

Of course he blames it on DEI hires. He also blamed the helicopter and later said it was because of 'practicing.'

Why does he think it's DEI hires, you ask? Well, Trump answered, and I quote: "Because I have common sense, and unfortunately a lot of people don't."

What the actual fuck. Donald "I have common sense" fucking Trump. Lmfao.

European politics is like a mirror at this point. A UK politician basically said virtually exactly the same thing, "I don't make mistakes", a few days ago, and then proceeded to make an absolute tit of themselves 24 hours later.

Bad Enoch herself, the one that can do nothing right.

She tweeted a photo of herself at the address of a conservative party voter, with his address clearly in the background, which is very much against electoral rules. 2 seconds in MS paint could have spared her that embarrassment.

Anyone who ever says "I don't make mistakes" should immediately be distrusted.

Why does he think it’s DEI hires, you ask? Well, Trump answered, and I quote: “Because I have common sense, and unfortunately a lot of people don’t.”

God, I hate how many people think "common sense" is a legitimate argument.

Wait until you hear Salvini talking. He also sprinkles some "as a father" on it.

What an absolute lunatic, we should never let the GOP live this down. Rub this in their faces, ongoingly. Never forget! Never Let Up!

While the claim is absolutely fucking insane, I will absolutely not be surprised if when the names are released we find out that one or more of the pilots flying were people of colour and it's just trump playing racist trump things.

I don't think it's the fault of any of the pilots regardless of their race, but I can fully see trump's pipeline of POC pilot = dei hire = plane crash as "common sense".
