I just want to point out that

Trump announced sweeping personnel changes, including a hiring freeze. But aviation experts said Trump had done little that could have precipitated the crash between a commercial jet from Wichita, Kansas, and a military Black Hawk helicopter. There was simply too little time – less than 10 days after Trump was sworn in – for any of his broadly worded executive orders to have had an effect, experts said.

He is still an asshole, but the firing had, apparently, as much to do with the crash as DAI programms: nothing at all.

He's blaming everything on DEI and the democrats and black people and the mentally disability (even though he very likely has dyslexia, which might explain why people speculate that he is functionally illiterate). Don't let him have it.

And he's an idiot for doing so. Non the less, if experts who know more about the inner workings say that him firing people had nothing to do with it then I will trust them on it.

I know it makes a nice narrative: Trump blames DAI but is actually the one to blame. But if that narrative doesn't hold up to reality then i think we shouldn't push it forward.

It's bad enoth that he uses the death of humans to scream about his wired anti DAI point. He doesn't need to be responsible for the crash in order to criticise that.
