Donald Trump was quick to share to draw conclusions about the Washington DC plane crash, a tragedy which cost 67 people their lives.

When he wasn’t blaming diversity targets he was coming up with a whole new air traffic control system which appeared to make as much sense as you imagine it would.

Fortunately mid-air collisions are incredibly rare, and the analogy Trump used to make this point is the most jaw-dropping thing you’ll watch today. Until the next time Trump opens his cakehole, obviously.

Trump on the DCA plane crash: “Did you ever see, you go to a driving range in golf and you’re hitting balls, hundreds of balls, thousands of hours. I never see a ball hit another ball. Balls going up all over the place. You never see ’em hit, it was amazing that could happen.” pic.twitter.com/g6fLXJXZJM

I see we are at the ‘billionaire politician explains aviation disasters through golf analogies’ stage of the apocalypse.

The season finale of America needs better writers. Comes off as a bit far fetched. https://t.co/9xHbNJjTZy

My next flight will be on a golf ball, seem safer than a plane or helicopter.

Oh snap, for a second I thought he was going to say something educated. Whew, that was close.

Ah yes, let’s govern base on what ONE PERSON does or doesn’t see, that has absolutely nothing to do with what they’re actually talking about. Sounds good!
