    It's on Trump's and Hegseth's watch. They are to blame.

    As much as I cannot stand either man, this is just nuts, but on the
    other hand, if this terrible tragedy had happened several weeks ago,
    Trump would have blamed Biden.

    That's pathetic and shameful even for you.

    The Black Hawk helicopter was on a training flight at the time, according to Heather Chairez, spokesperson for Joint Task Force-National Capital Region.

    "I have been fully briefed on the terrible accident which just took place at Reagan National Airport. May God Bless their souls. Thank you for the incredible work being done by our first responders. I am monitoring the situation and will provide more
    details as they arise," he wrote.

    The president followed up with a post on Truth Social that seemed to be probing for further answers regarding the cause of the crash.

    "Why didn’t the control tower tell the helicopter what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane," he wrote in the post, adding, "This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented. NOT GOOD!!!"

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the Army and Defense Department would "immediately" launch an investigation into the collision.

    Trump, ever-helpful.

    Change the name of the chopper from Blackhawk to Pinkhawk to better reflect
    the accurate colour of the white pilots.
