No, #Trump didn't blame yesterday's crash on #DEI during his press conference today. What he did was much more obscene: since he didn't make the causal connection, that means he used the occasion to politicize a tragedy to go off on a different political tangent that rambled out into the utterly bizarre as he started reading off of his printed out papers.
When folks say things like Trump blamed DEI, that only increases his support among voters who are obsessed with taking down DEI. Don't give him that. Just be honest that he spewed a bunch of garbage and politicized a tragedy.
After all, misrepresenting Trump in ways favorable to his base is part of how we got him reelected in the first place. If we were honest about him, even his own supporters would reject him.
