President Donald Trump on Thursday blasted former President Joe Biden and Democratic diversity measures after a midair collision between an American Airlines regional jet and an Army ****** Hawk helicopter above Washington, D.C., the night before.

Trump, speaking at the White House, claimed that DEI “could have been” to blame for the collision, the deadliest U.S. plane ****** since November 2001.

No one survived the collision, officials said. There were 64 people on board the airplane, which struck the helicopter as it prepared to land at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Three soldiers were on board the helicopter.

D.C. Fire and EMS Chief John Donnelly said that at least 28 bodies have been recovered so far.
