I mean...he's trying to figure out who to blame.

Donny Convict and his chaos-monkey techbro besties have brought their move fast and break shit ethos to Washington. they’ve fired people, gutted whole departments, and issued conflicting orders — never once stopping to consider that gee, the well-being and safety of Americans is at stake here, maybe we should slow down a bit and consider if our actions might have consequences.
nah, fuck that. it’s more fun to set everything on fire and watch the pretty flames.
and now that everything has very quickly — and very predictably — gone to chaotic shit, King Fuckface the First is stamping his feet and demanding to know how this all could have possibly happened.
last night, near Reagan International Airport, a passenger jet collided with a military helicopter and crashed into the Potomac. it’s a tragedy and horrible loss of life, and as always with these events, very little is known at this time about what went wrong — but that didn’t stop the asshole who knows more about air traffic control than all the air traffic controllers from throwing a social media shit-fit.
Trump: “The airplane was on a perfect and routine line of approach to the airport. The helicopter was going straight at the airplane for an extended period of time. It is a CLEAR NIGHT, the lights on the plane were blazing, why didn’t the helicopter go up or down, or turn. Why didn’t the control tower tell the helicopter what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane. This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented. NOT GOOD!!!”
hey, way to express concern and sympathy for the victims and their families, you heartless shitnozzle.
never mind that Donny is president now, and can, y’know, pick up the phone and talk to the head of the Aviation Safety Committee and get all the answers he wants. he’s going to continue to be a public loudmouth — because cosplaying as the know-it-all at the end of the bar is easy. governmenting is hard.
oh wait, Donny can’t call up the Aviation Safety Committee — because right now, there’s no one at the other end to pick up the phone.
oh dear, this is not a good look.
--President Donald Trump moved quickly to remake the Department of Homeland Security Tuesday, firing the heads of the Transportation Security Administration and Coast Guard before their terms are up and eliminated all the members of a key aviation security advisory group.
The aviation security committee, which was mandated by Congress after the 1988 PanAm 103 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland, will technically continue to exist but it won’t have any members to carry out the work of examining safety issues at airlines and airports.--
--The Federal Aviation Administration’s leader stepped down on Jan. 20, months after Elon Musk demanded that he quit.
The move by Michael Whitaker means the FAA has no Senate-confirmed leader for one of the biggest crises in its history because he quit before Donald Trump took office.--
oh, how perfectly fucking lovely. there’s no one heading up the FAA right now because the Space Nazi had a personal vendetta against the guy who was running it.
