To the editor: I imagine 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 had 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, reasonably than provide condolences and point out that the crash will probably be completely investigated, he launched into blaming range hiring for the crash, stating the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration was recruiting staff who are suffering extreme mental disabilities and extra underneath a range and inclusion hiring initiative.
Actually? Based mostly on what proof? It’s too quickly to invest on the trigger. What sort of chief lays blame on teams of individuals earlier than any investigation has even begun?
Possibly Trump ought to have consulted precise consultants in aviation earlier than opening his mouth.

To the editor: Have been I to counsel the president after the latest aircraft crash, I would 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 attainable 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 excited about range than security simply gave her the place due to her ethnicity and gender?
Widespread sense, sir?
