I'm shocked that he jumped to conclusions before he had any facts and used politically motivated attacks. Oh wait, no. I'm super shocked that he changed tune once he got the facts.

The report leaves out the revelation that the current FAA DEI policy was put in place during Trump's 2019 term, so now he has more reason to blame something else.
Wait until he finds out the demographics of the helicopter pilot and he'll go right back to blaming Obama/Biden DEI policy...
He flip-flopped after it came out the DEI initiative was his (under his first term). Not democrats’.
Seems like a good chance it is DONVICT that is to blame.
This happened on HIS fucking watch. Take responsibility for once, you asshole.
He hasn't flip-flopped. The entire time he's been steadfast the person responsible is Not-Him.
Look in the mirror, you fat fuck.
You dropped this: 🍊
Being from an air crew background, there is a lot more to the investigation than simply saying that the aircraft was too high. If it was caused by human error, the investigation will go in excruciating details over what could have contributed to it. What was the person's state of mind at that time. Were they tired, stressed, pressured, inexperienced, overworked, complacent, etc? Were there external factors that contributed to the error like for example the design of the altimeter makes it difficult to read under certain circumstances? Flight investigations are a non-punitive, scientific approach meant to understand exactly the chain of events that lead to the error so we know how to avoid repeating it.
Meanwhile, Trump just wants to blame someone.
If it was caused by human error, the investigation will go in excruciating details over what could have contributed to it.
The NTSB will not be allowed to release a report inconsistent with trump's ramblings.
Pilot apparently had 1,000 hours and the other crew were at 500. Not sure if that's significant or not.

For helicopter hours, this is enough to say they're experienced.
What we've got here is... failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men.
Damn, now I gotta listen to Civil War again.
Or watch Cool Hand Luke.

Eating that many eggs these days would put you in the poorhouse. Thanks, Biden! And Obama....
OR:
‘If my boy says he can eat fifty eggs he can eat fifty eggs!’
Trump is just fishing for a scapegoat and rage bait
Trump will never understand that the office of president is ultimately responsible
The buck never stops at Trump, if anything it accelerates in its search for a scapegoat
Nothing will be fixed because he is unable to accept responsibility
