Because Trump creates noise for us to banter about while the GOP rapes the nation.
MesserAuditore
And his supporters will still view this claim as incredible, if for no other reason than to not feel guilty for voting for him.
thefrisbeewasgettingcloserthenithitme
And to not admit they were wrong, or admit they only voted because of racism, or genuinely not feel guilty because they’re too dumb
smileunicornsloveyou
The worst part is all the people who believe all of his tweets, face value.
majorboredom
CamelSpotter
It's an interesting thing to tweet, given the fact that 10 Americans died on a Costa Rican flight on New Year's Eve.
CamelSpotter
Did he even say anything about them? I'd seriously rather not dredge through his twitter page just to find out.
ChaosandChaos
He did not.
schmitty21
The real credit belongs to professional pilots, maintainers, air traffic controllers and safety investigators. Thank one if you know one.
fallen1092
And us dispatchers :(
JohnnySandwich
Alright...I guess so. ;) Keep up the good work, I couldn't imagine working without dispatchers.
TheTimeless
Holy shit, have any of you ever read The Double, by Dostoyevsky? He IS Golyadkin, takes credit for anything remotely good that happens
TheTimeless
anywhere, and everything bad is the result of a big conspiracy by "his enemies", and never realizes how his stupidity causes his own
TheTimeless
problems, social or otherwise, oh and he's generally a rich cunt too.
Boatsntoes

TheWombatStrikesAgain
See? You already think we're gonna live that long! This 'aubtimishm' thing seems to work.
kylefromterminator
can he just fall in a volcano or something
MatrimBloodyCauthon
As a volcano, I take issue to that.
mishalala
Nobody died from volcanos this year either. Thank Trump for that too
BugEyedLemur
His fat ass would prolly plug it rendering him actually useful for a change.
thefrisbeewasgettingcloserthenithitme
Then Pence is in charge and I’d argue that’s more scary
vampirehedgehog
I don't know. What kind of stance does Pence have on the subject of Nuclear War?
thefrisbeewasgettingcloserthenithitme
I’m terrified to look. But his stance on gay conversion therapy is enough to sour me

I hate this orange fuck.
MatrimBloodyCauthon
I've had nightmares about him. I eventually unplugged for my health. Dunno why, no other politician does this to me.

He also invented water, so we should thank him for that.

LokiKingOfJotunheim
How exactly has he been strict on airlines? Travel bans don't prevent accidents caused by airline negligence...
ChaosandChaos
By cutting regulations! Duh! ....wait....
RandAIFlagg
How exactly has he been strict on commercial aviation, anyway?
JohnnySandwich
I suppose with record amounts of TFR's when he's traveling, that's pretty restrictive?? I have no fuckin' clue.
CrazyCatLad
He's been all kinds of strict, the best kind of strict - and the media won't tell you this. Believe me.
RandAIFlagg
fallen1092
By causing more flight restrictions with TFR's and thus more delays.
ootsker
Trump has done nothing either for or against aviation safety.
DidItForScience
Well he did complain about regulations. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-meeting-aviation-industry
PlainviewUVGF
Actually attempting to do things AGAINST flight safety. No joke. https://www.geekwire.com/2017/trump-aviation-executives-faa-infrastructure/
surfdad67
He has made it a priority to cut back on aviation regulations and they are doing just that.
TroyWuelfing
Not entirely true. He tried to privatize the FAA right?
DidItForScience
He wants to privatize air traffic control. https://www.npr.org/2017/06/05/531574945/trump-announces-plan-to-privatize-air-traffic-control
LDF607
What are you talking about? He said right there he's been Very Strict.
theoldgaffer
I think he has dementia. He has all the signs lol
prodmerc
I think he's just a dumbass who will share his opinions with anyone. Some of what he says is true, which just proves that :D
theGrantimus
You might be onto something, watch clips of him ten and twenty years ago. He is significantly better spoken.
Boopdog
Reporters need to start asking him to draw them a clock.
theoldgaffer
Just like in Hannibal ????
Boopdog
it's a standard screening test for dementia/alzheimer's.

Counterfit
Wouldn't be the first Republican to lose their shit during office.
NotTheMamaNotTheMama
I concur!
frostybox
I'm going with sociopath, he made up his own reality and somehow successfully pushes it on others. He's probably actually quite smart.
Calistrasza
He's a classic narcissist. Textbook case, really.
SpiderDetective
I believe it too. Problem is, I don't think we can make this guy have a medical check up
vampirehedgehog
Just get him charged with something already and just watch as his lawyers start screeching "NON COMPOS MENTIS"!
Calistrasza
My mom actually said a long time ago she thinks he might be early Alzheimer's.
thefrisbeewasgettingcloserthenithitme
He is a crazy person but the people who voted for him and STILL support him are the worst
DangerTrain
My neighbor is one. He is such an obnoxious assclown, who honks his horn at 6am to get his wife to hurry up.
frostybox
OMG i know, he could take an actual shit on their chest and they'd still support him. It's ok to admit you were wrong
thefrisbeewasgettingcloserthenithitme
Especially when it’s because he lied - the onus is still on him
SillyValentine
What I hate most about Trump is his ego and narcissism, and the way he talk sounds extremely unprofessional, unfit for a president.
ProjectSatan
yeah, it's not even that he's a republican. he's just an asshole.
Threns
Yeah, when I've met children that are more articulate and reasonable than the current president, there's a fucking problem.
ProjectSatan
what i dislike the most, is that everyone seems to feel it's okay to be an asshole now. i dont kno if thats trump or the times. but it's sad
Threns
I know what you mean. I havn't acted on it, but with Trump being elected by all the people who basically taught me how to be a decent and +
Threns
moral person, I feel like "So what the fuck else were you lying about?" It's a shitty feeling.
MatrimBloodyCauthon
I disagree. About what I hate most- it's how he took advantage of fear and used it to divide and profit for himself instead of unify.
thefrisbeewasgettingcloserthenithitme
And how it was so easy. He accomplished it so quickly. And he isn’t a smart man - a think a professor of his said something about his idiocy
frostybox
he's kinda a sociopath, he has his own reality and refuses all else. I just don't get how people actually thought he'd give a shit about 1/
frostybox
the little guy and they believed it and still support him despite taking it up the ass from him already.
thefrisbeewasgettingcloserthenithitme
Because they dumb
MatrimBloodyCauthon
In that case, you don't need to be smart. When people are scared or angry, they aren't thinking logically. He just had to be the loudest.
thefrisbeewasgettingcloserthenithitme
Correct, and he was. I watched it from abroad while studying at uni and it was MADDENING how stupid it was.
MatrimBloodyCauthon
I didn't realize education had gotten to the point where he could win. People thought he sounded strong, and hell to all else.
Blze001
What's next: he gets a hole in one every time while golfing and invented air?
aleister94
I wonder how long it's gonna be before he gives a speech and claims he currently surviving an assassination attempt as he's talking

TheWombatStrikesAgain

Also he shot a submachinegun when he was seven years old and got 30 bullseyes in a row.

Just out of curiosity, what has the state of your head got to do with it?
CrazyCatLad
Yeah what @TheFoxCouncil said. Skinheads or neonazis in America were/are known from their racism towards black people. I'm obviously not 1.
TheFoxCouncil
Shaved heads (or 'skinheads') were popular amongst racist groups for a while. Not sure if they still are.
DidItForScience
Neo-nazi skins still exist. Though the skinhead movement started with black and white working class in the UK. 1/2

There are still lots of non-racist skinheads but the National Front co-opted the look back in the '80s. 2/2

DangerTrain
Those are people who don't see reality, they only see "my party vs their party". They can vote against their own interests.
MatrimBloodyCauthon
But I'm hearing more on the internet against him than most presidents I've paid attention to. I'm hoping the nation's views are changing.
GaySocialistLiberalMuslimCommieAtheist
Is there anything more he can do to prove he is horrible than what he has already done? He is picture perfect conservative dream. Good luck.
stopitlucas
And his supporters are still blind.
Wowyouknowwhatsomanyusernamesaretakenthesedays
I have a trump supporter friend who either asks everybody to stop talking about politics or just fucking leaves when confronted.

"He only just got started", which will gradually change into "he needs 4 more years!".

(As a note, no evidence of such "big bonuses" was given. But I feel like that goes without saying with him.)
thefrisbeewasgettingcloserthenithitme

WorldsSmallestMegaDick
Wat, it was a brand new rail with upgraded safety it was caused by a bad operator
overlordchris666
Less then 20% of the US trains have the mandatory Congressional Safety equipment installed at the time of the crash.
WorldsSmallestMegaDick
Yeah but this wasn't one of those trains, it was a brand new Siemens charger on a new track. It was the operators fault for speeding.

I was under the impression the investigation was ongoing, and expected to last another year

It's not like trains bring, you know, jobs and mobility and demand for residential developments and businesses and tourism...

If it's not a Trump branded train he doesn't care.

Aw, man! You just reminded me it's been too long since I last played SimCity. Oh, well...

Genuinely curious, I've never met a single person who has been on Amtrack. I feel like train interstate travel is not significant in the US.
relicen
Not american, so dunno if amtrack handles any freight, but freight trains in general move a massive amount of cargo each year.

Amtrak is 100% passenger trains. State-owned, surprisingly enough.

Now you know 3. ^__^ Rode it a bunch as kid to visit family.

I used amtrak a bunch before I owned a car. Now that I own a car I just stay put.

I used Amtrak to get home for Thanksgiving when I was in the dorms. Sat next to a Hell's Angels drug dealer and a guy who just got of prison

It was a very informative trip, I would recommend Amtrak to anyone.

I've heard it's popular in the northeast but I've never been to the US and wouldn't know.
dustybucket
I've definitely used it. It's great if you have time but no money.
TheYoungGod
Really? I remember looking in to it once after a trip to Europe (I was spoiled by their train system), tickets were like 3x Greyhound fare.

One of my best friends was on that Amtrak train that crashed in WA. She laughed whenever he says shit like this. Good to see her smiling
TielKiri
She lived?
ICatch42
(1/2) Ya, broke her pelvis and fractured her lower spine. She was at a table seat and it broke her fall. Her car was the one that ended up
ICatch42
(2/2) upside down on I-5.

Only 3 people died. The unsuited infrastructure is a HUGE problem and shouldn't be belittled by that, but there were fortunately few deaths
TielKiri
Thank goodness!
TielKiri
About the lack of death, not the infrastructure. That's definitely a problem.
