Trump Zings Reporter Asking if He Will Visit the Site of DCA Plane Crash (VIDEO)

President Trump zinged a reporter asking if he will visit the site of the American Airlines plane crash.

Trump signed a series of executive orders from the Oval Office on Thursday after a Blackhawk helicopter crashed into an American Airlines plane near Reagan Airport on Wednesday evening.

67 people died after the two aircraft collided over the Potomac.

First responders pulled bodies out of the icy Potomac river on Wednesday and Thursday. There were no survivors.

President Trump on Thursday signed an Executive Order to investigate Joe Biden’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) policies after the DCA crash.

Trump’s new Executive Order mandates that only the most competent and qualified people are hired as air traffic controllers.

New Acting FAA administrator, Christopher Rocheleau and newly-confirmed Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy will be tasked with undoing Biden’s dangerous FAA DEI policies.

“We want the most competent people, no matter what race they are,” Trump said in the Oval Office on Thursday. “If they don’t have a great brain, a great power of the brain, they’re not going to be very good at what they do.”

A reporter asked President Trump if he has plans to visit the crash site.

“Do you have a plan to go visit the site?” a reporter asked Trump.

“I have a plan to visit – what’s the site? The water? Do you want me to go swimming?” Trump said.

“Well, to me, it’s the first responders down there,” the reporter said.
