A sarcastic Trump refuses to visit Potomac River crash site: "You want me to go swimming?" (video) [1]

['Carla Sinclair']

Date: 2025-01-31

Donald Trump will not visit the site of the deadly American Airlines crash, which happened over the Potomac River Wednesday night, sarcastically responding to a reporter, "You tell me, what's the site? The water?"

"You want me to go swimming?" he added during a press conference yesterday. (See the Washington Post's video below.)

Trump, who is blaming the crash on DEI — code for anyone other than straight white men — did say he would visit "some" of the families of the victims. Let's just hope these family members speak English, "look like" Americans, and answer the door wearing a red MAGA cap.
