Trump killed 67 Americans and it’s still January 2025.

This is an overreach that minimizes the people who are actually impacted by Trump's actions.

This was the heli pilot's error, plain and simple. Tower was following protocol and did not grant clearance because they were short on staff or something ridiculous like that.
