I’m sure he’ll regale those assembled about the brilliant leadership on his part that resulted in a safe landing with minimal casualties. Oh, and if this accident had happened during one of his predecessors terms the plane would have plowed into a cornfield, killing all aboard.

If in some alternative universe I were named a Congressional Medal of Honor winner I’d tell the White House to shove their ceremony up their ass and mail the damned thing UPS, thank you. I’ll be busy that day cleaning the litter boxes.

He would have saved that passenger, but she did know what she signed up for.

Oh, and the pilot did a great job for a woman. Nobody knew women could fly planes like that.

I think that about covers it.

But for the Waffle House hero, James Shaw, Jr., nothing. Why?

Let the healing begin.

“If I had been sitting next to that poor woman she never would have been sucked out the window!!”

You’ve captured the spirit of what the occupant is likely to say, and also something along the lines of how good she looks at her age (56) and how firm her ass seems to be after all that sitting. Lemme just give it a squeeze to be sure.

Mr. Shaw can be glad he didn’t venture into a Chinese joint in Toronto.

Putting Trump into a position that requires demonstrative empathy simply does not work, or spins to something worse.

Has the White House public relations department learned nothing or just gone totally mad?

As an opportunist once said:

I just had the same thought. Crickets.

Either he doesn’t know (cuz Fox News - official WH brief - aka Fox and Friends - didn’t ever mention the story), or he is really as racist as we all think he is.

Must be looking for someone to head the FAA.

The White House says Trump wants to thank the crew for safely landing the damaged airplane. He also wants to meet passengers who assisted other travelers…

…but he mainly wants some good publicity for a change.

No. I think that he wants to make sure that they all know about his HUGE electoral victory.

He was thanking them all. What?!?!? Did he think they did it for him?

Me me me me me me me me etc .
