To the editor: I consider that President Trump owes an apology to the households of the passengers and crew of the industrial airliner, in addition to the households of the crew of the Military helicopter, who have been the victims of a midair crash in our nation’s capital. (“Trump speculates and blames his predecessor as probe into deadly midair collision begins,” Jan. 30)
Trump started admirably with a condolence speech from the White Home. However as an alternative of stopping with phrases of consolation for all these affected by this nationwide tragedy, inside 24 hours of the crash he proceeded to show it right into a political speech.
The second referred to as just for compassion.

To the editor: Simply once I assume Trump has reached a brand new low, he goes decrease.
He started his information convention Thursday with a second of silence for the victims of Wednesday’s lethal aircraft crash in Washington. Good begin.
Then, moderately than provide condolences and point out that the crash can be totally investigated, he launched into blaming variety hiring for the crash, stating the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration was recruiting staff who are suffering extreme mental disabilities and extra below a variety and inclusion hiring initiative.
Actually? Based mostly on what proof? It’s too quickly to take a position on the trigger. What sort of chief lays blame on teams of individuals earlier than any investigation has even begun?
Perhaps Trump ought to have consulted precise specialists in aviation earlier than opening his mouth.

To the editor: Had been I to counsel the president after the current aircraft crash, I’d say the next:
Mr. President, all of your frequent sense however, supposing a Black transgender girl was both flying the Military helicopter or working as an air site visitors controller, is it doable that she was doing both of these jobs as a result of after rigorous coaching and expertise, she was judged certified by her superiors?
Or no matter experience, do you actually assume somebody extra all for variety than security simply gave her the place due to her ethnicity and gender?
Widespread sense, sir?
