President Trump called CRASHE as a “tragedy of a terrible percentage” on Thursday, but immediately claimed that the case had politically politicized, accused the Democratic Party, and lowered the aviation safety standard. He also quoted the efforts of the Federal Aviation Bureau to hire individuals with disabilities, aiming for diversity, fairness, and inclusive initiatives.
“The group in the FAA decided that the labor was too white, and worked hard to change it to the administration and change it immediately,” Trump said. “This was in the Obama administration.”
Trump acknowledged that it was still unknown who was responsible for the collision in the media briefing on Thursday. NTSB is investigating crashes alongside FAA, other federation and local organizations.
