The president “believes it’s really safe and Americans should feel safe traveling on our skies,” said press secretary Karoline Leavitt during a press conference on Friday.

To date, no investigation has failed the accident in FAA’s hiring standards.
On other occasions, Trump also stated that the pilots of the Army Black Hawk helicopter were “flying too loud.”
Leavitt later also defended Trump’s explicit description of former transport secretary Pete Buttigieg, made during his press statements the day before.
