FINALLY the moron is grounding the Boeing planes.

[BigmanPigman]

We are the 1,000,000th country to do so. Once again tRump makes us an embarrassment thanks to Sec of Transportation McConnell and the fucking moron loving $$$$ more than human lives.

[HipChick]

1. under pressure from everyone else..

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Somebody probably pointed out to him that if there is another accident

his administration will be blamed. I'm sure he'll figure out a way to take care of Boeing.

3. AFTER Elaine Chao flew on one.

4. I hope he realizes that doing the right thing has more benefits than how he's lived his life so far

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. "Doing the right thing" is a foreign concept to him.

He does whatever he thinks benefits him.

[eleny]

8. Yeah. It must be pretty bad for him to take this action

..... .....

And he can't afford any more bad marks.

5. Once Canada did so, they had ABSOLUTELY no choice but to do so. I give FAA/Trump NO CREDIT

7. +1

[mercuryblues]

17. Me either

Other countries not only grounded the planes, but forbade them from even flying in their airspace. Where were these planes eligible to fly? Within the USA. Only one thing...The pilots union told their pilots they would not be forced to fly these planes. Same with flight attendants.

trump on the other hand tweeted yesterday and basically said the pilots were too stupid to fly the planes. No condolences to the families that were killed. Only the pilots couldn't figure the planes out because they are too complicated for them.

9. Republicans seem to have to be dragged kicking & screaming to do the right thing.

Even when it's completely clear what needs to be done. I will never understand how they convince their voter base that they're the party of values & morals.

[TeamPooka]

10. He did not look happy doing it. I was expecting him to start complimenting the planes and both sides

the whole thing.
He let down his Boeing guys after all the money they gave him.
hahahahahaha

[RKP5637]

12. President DUH! finally comprehended what is going on. n/t

[Paladin]

13. I'm surprised it happened this soon.

Thanks again to Rachel Maddow's reporting last night, linking the delay in Boeing's corrective measures to trump's idiotic government shut-down.

16. It shouldn't even be his call, it should be the FAA's

[Vinca]

18. Guess it finally sunk into his fat-infested brain that if a U.S. plane went down,he'd get the blame.

After all, it was his shutdown that delayed the software fix by 5 weeks.

19. Late

but better late than never.
