Trump wasted no time in sweeping different areas of federal agencies by firing key officials and replacing them with people who were loyal to him and his views. He let go of military leaders, inspector generals and federal employees. Then he fired hundreds of workers in the Federal Aviation Administration in February. 

The move comes weeks after the frightening air collision of an American Airlines flight and a Black Hawk helicopter that killed 67 people on Jan. 29. Two days later, another concerning flight crash occurred in Philadelphia. A medical jet crashed in a northeastern neighborhood taking the lives of seven people.

Reflecting on Trump’s abrupt firing of the FAA, Reid said on Feb. 12, “Since Donald Trump returned to the White House and he and his co-President Elon Musk started gutting the federal aviation administration and freezing hiring, including of air traffic controllers while terrorizing the whole federal government, planes seem to be falling out of the sky.” 

After Trump and Musk removed hundreds from the FAA more plane crashes occurred, including one in Alaska and another in Arizona that killed several more people. This week, planes in Chicago and D.C. successfully aborted landing to prevent colliding with another plane.

She added, “Not being a conspiracy here but it sure doesn’t give me confidence knowing that Sean from MTV’s The Real World Boston is in charge of transportation and that Elon is vowing that his band of tech bros are jumping into the nations aviation system to perform ‘rapid safety upgrades.’”

Sean Duffy officially took office as Secretary of Transportation, replacing Pete Buttigieg. Before that he was a host of a few shows including MTV’s The Real World. He then went into law and later served in Congress from 2011 to 2019. He then co-hosted The Bottom Line on Fox Business. 

Musk on the other hand is the CEO of Tesla, founder of Space X, and currently owns X – formerly known as Twitter. He’s a supporter of and buddies with Trump, which ended up securing him a role as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency in his second term.
