In this episode of "You Can't Make It Up — The Left Just Did"...

So yeah, during an NBC News special report on Monday afternoon about the Delta Airliner crash in Toronto, NBC senior correspondent and longtime aviation reporter Tom Costello directly linked President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to the crash.

I know — try to contain your shock and amazement.

Fortunately, all 76 passengers and four crew members survived. 

Costello's illogical logic? 

The flight took off from Minneapolis, Minnesota, for a regular flight, but the aviation "expert" gleefully pivoted to asserting without evidence that the crash will “yet again, raise the concern about FAA staffing — air traffic control staffing.”

Raise concern? Among whom, genius? Other than Trump-Musk-DOGE haters, I mean.

After first admitting that since the flight landed in Canada and was therefore under the control of “a Canadian air traffic control tower and this is under Canadian authority once it crosses the border,” Costello promptly dismissed the salient facts and went off on Trump, Musk, and DOGE, telling NBC News anchor Tom Llamas: 

This is Minneapolis into Toronto, you know, kind of a regular hourly flight, if you will, that goes back and forth into from the United States, right into Toronto on a regular basis. I did want to, you know, underscore — to pick up on the conversation you were just having, though, in terms of the recent string of aviation incidents, Tom, this is gonna yet again raise the concern about FAA staffing — air traffic control staffing. 

Now, this is a Canadian air traffic control tower and this is under Canadian authority once it crosses the border. And yet, as you know, there has been this talk about maybe staff cuts at the FAA as a part of President Trump’s effort to trim down the federal workforce. And yet, as you also know, the FAA has been complaining for years that they are understaffed in critical job positions, especially air traffic control. 

I was having a conversation with somebody today about whether air traffic control in American’s being affected by the staff cuts. So far, not to their knowledge and yet other positions related to maintaining critical equipment appeared to have been cut, so this is going to feed into all of these recent incidents and the safety of — of the total air traffic system is going to be very much a part of the conversation as we go forward, at least on the side of the country of [this side of] the border.  

Hold the short bus for a minute.

If the FAA has been complaining for years about understaffing in critical positions, why didn't the Biden-Harris regime address those concerns during its four miserable years in office? In contrast, Donald Trump has been back in the White House for less than a month (as I write). And exactly how many critical FAA jobs have been nixed by his administration? Zero, as Costello himself admitted.

Costello continued:

I should say. Let me just underscore again, this is a Delta regional flight. And as a result, you’re talking about maybe 75 to 85 or so passengers on board, part of that normal routine. By the way, the RJ — the regional jet — this is a bump — a Bombardier, so it is made in Canada and these jets have a history of being a very robust plane able to handle colder conditions.

Costello was all over the map on the crash, why it occurred, and who was to blame. 

Why it was almost like he knew full well how absurd it was to blame Trump and Musk, yet he just couldn't stop himself from taking a few cheap shots at the administration and DOGE.

Yet, in a new report on Wednesday, the Toronto City News said audio recording from the tower at Pearson Airport shows Delta Air Lines Flight 4819 was cleared to land at about 2:10 p.m. local time on Monday. As the plane came to land, the tower warned the pilots of a possible air flow bump in the glide path because of a preceding aircraft in front of it.

So there it is, Trump-haters — concrete proof that the crash was the fault of Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE.

Please.
