The Shit Administration (Episode 2)

Scrolling down into this MSN report on Trump at today’s National Prayer Breakfast, Trump says this about the aircraft crash on January 29:

President Donald Trump, during the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday morning, referenced the tragedy that killed 67 people when a plane and helicopter collided, saying he was struck by the odds of such a thing happening and comparing it to two golf balls colliding in the air.

“The odds of that happening are extremely small,” he said. “It’s like, did you ever see, you go to a driving range in golf and you’re hitting balls, hundreds of balls, thousands of hours. I never see a ball hit another ball.”

Sure. Amazing metaphor Mr. President. So, what will happen if when we fix this system? (Emphasis added)

So we’re going to have the best system and, a lot of money, but it’s not that much money. And it’ll happen fast, and it’ll be done by total professionals. And when it’s done, you’re not going to have accidents. It’s just not they’re not they’re virtually not possible to have.

“Virtually not possible” to have air traffic accidents? What about the golf balls, Mr. President? I hope you’re not trading one tragedy for another.
