As the late Texas Governor Ann Richards said of George Bush, "poor George. He can't help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth." From The New York Times:
President Blames D.E.I. and Biden for Crash Under Trump’s Watch
President Trump’s remarks, suggesting without evidence that diversity in hiring and other Biden administration policies somehow caused the disaster, reflected his instinct to immediately frame major events through his political or ideological lens.
David E. Sanger has covered five American presidents in more than four decades at The Times.
President Trump blamed diversity requirements at the Federal Aviation Administration and his two Democratic predecessors for the midair collision over the Potomac River on Wednesday night, saying that standards for air traffic controllers had been too lax.
Mr. Trump cited no evidence, and even admitted when pressed that the investigation had only just begun.
Moments later, he blamed the pilots of the Army helicopter that appeared to fly into a passenger jet that was on final approach to Reagan National Airport, across the river from the capital.
Mr. Trump went back and forth between blaming diversity goals that he said were created by President Barack Obama and President Joseph R. Biden Jr., and then saying that an investigation was necessary.

The president is a troll and quite possibly even has pre-dementia going on. He's a testament to how serious half of America actually takes government and some might even say our civilization. Just imagine the level of anti-intellectualism it took for the working class to get together and vote for a billionaire for president...as if that's gonna benefit them any. People like Trump don't make it rain. They make policies that ensure upwards transfer of wealth.
