President Trump is the Dumbass of the Week award for the week ending 1/31/2025. I had other plans, but Trump wins for having a press conference yesterday and discussing DEI in the wake of the inflight collision of an American Eagle CRJ-700 and a U.S. Army Blackhawk helicopter in Washington D.C. Wednesday night.

| The Dumbass of the Week is Trump. |
We do not know that there is any question about anybody involved's hiring, training, or proficiency.
He oughtn't be politicizing the accident at all, especially at a time when it's likely casualty notifications aren't even done yet.
Let the NTSB and FAA talk about what happened and why. How about, "It's a tragedy and we offer our prayers and support however we can to the victims. We appreciate the great work of the first responders. The NTSB will conduct a full investigation to determine the cause of the accident."
His remarks, in the wake of a tragedy, insult and undermine every competent woman and minority aviation professional, even if unintentionally. This is a huge unforced error, unfortunately something President Trump is prone to doing on a too regular basis.
