During his Thursday press conference about the deadly Wednesday collision between a passenger jet and military helicopter near Reagan National Airport, President Donald Trump repeatedly suggested there was a link between the tragedy and diversity hiring policies at the Federal Aviation Administration.

President Donald Trump has begun his second administration with a series of controversial moves and decisions.

President Donald Trump on Thursday blasted the Federal Aviation Administration's DEI standards at a press conference addressing Wednesday night's deadly plane crash in Washington, D.C.

Trump has never provided proof that a single DEI hire “failed to meet established standards,” one expert said.

The potential Trump visit to West Palm, will, again, give Palm Beach County residents a front row seat to the presidency.

The president at points acknowledged that it was too soon to draw conclusions as he encouraged the nation to pray for the victims. But he moved nonetheless to assign blame.

Democrats previously hit out at the president's federal hiring freeze for hindering the "number one safety issue" in aviation.

The FAA is actively recruiting workers who suffer severe intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems, and other mental and physical conditions," Trump said.

President Trump suggested diversity programs are to blame for a deadly plane crash in the nation’s capital. Trump was joined by members of his Cabinet to give their latest update on the cause of this horrific midair collision. The president said the country was in mourning.

The FAA, under the first Trump administration, also tried to increase the hiring of people with targeted disabilities.
