You forgot the rest of the tweet...but ya know narrative

So when the autopilot doesn't work, the passengers or air controllers will hopefully control the jet plane, now that idea is insane!

Guess we are copying CNN propaganda. Trump was talking about how advanced these planes are getting that the pilot is being taken out of the loop and a computer is in charge of life saving maneuvers. Which sounds good unless the computer has a glitch.

Good luck getting that past the pilots union

I believe we dont need the president anymore.Lets get a 1st grader to lead!

realDonaldTrump

That’s right, make planes great again. Go back to hydraulic lines and cables and mechanical foot pedals.

As usual demonstrating the fact he’s an idiot and hasn’t a clue what he’s talking about

Are we really supposed to pretend he has a clue about this?

This is like saying trains aren't safe because the flanges aren't deep enough. More disdain for STEM

The man is stupid beyond belief. I know coconuts who are smarter.....what an oaf! realDonaldTrump MIT

I agree. Let's pull ALL the MIT computer scientists out of class and have them fly our planes. Why didn't the airlines think of this? Shame on them.

WTF?!

The last person in the world whose opinion I care about regarding the skills and training of pilots flying the planes I’m on.

I'm sure that some part of that BS statement is true but probably taken out of context You cannot trust USATODAY either

beyond ignorant

You obviously didn’t read the entire tweet...that’s how rumors get started jackholes

Yeah Buddy! YOU be the first & last passenger. Not only should you be in a straightjacket for control, don’t forget a muzzle. No TT, tweet,talk

morgfair So I think we should start with his pilot with the layoff!,

Who flies your Dog lane Boozo.

Is this CNN? I read it as he'd rather have a human as a pilot if a last second decision has to be made.

And if there’s one person who knows simple it’s the Donald.

Next he will advocate bringing back the Model T Ford.

The 2 recent 737 MIT crashes are going to be result of human error due to inexperience of pilots & plane computer trying to override mistake With that said.... I want real life in the cockpit

Why cut education then?

This don't really let me feel safer...

Pilots ARE STILL NEEDED realDonaldTrump if computers fail, like MAYBE this what happened, a real pilot knows what to do NOT a MIT student.

Maybe someone from MIT can close Trump's umbrella for him. ☂️🌂

And the ignorant fake President spoke again!!!!!! LOL

Ok ok....so do we believe it now that Donald Trump is a certified moron, or do still need more evidence?🤔

Last I checked most aircraft are basically automated within an inch of being totally autonomous to reduce instances of pilot error. So... what's your point, President Dipshit?

As of now, planes are basically fully automated, with the exception of takeoff & landing, but there's no question that 100% automation is around the corner

Trump offering evidence like this to prove that he was never smart enough to have earned his degree - on a day like today - is unexpectedly transparent.

President trump not needed anymore, leave it to the people

THE CRIMINAL THAT DON'T S____ telling real Pilots and the INDUSTRY what they need.The cheat who pay to have his LIFE HIDDEN taxes and real estate deals.AND EVEN GRADE SCHOOL The phoney conman FRAUDSTER know best he complete a IDIOT and he NOT WORTH LISTENING TO or mentioning.

God he's so stupid.

And now the rest of the tweet: 'I don’t know about you, but I don’t want Albert Einstein to be my pilot. I want great flying professionals that are allowed to easily and quickly take control of a plane!'

tells lies

He said that is the problem. He is right !

The ol' fly-by-wire debate.

did you even read the tweet

And this is the Commander-in-Chief for the USAF and the “space force” SAD

Have u ever seen the cockpit of a jet. He’s right in his sarcastic way!

What is the name for the trick where you quote part of what someone says and then add your own words as if the person said them but they didn't actually say that?

While this is objectively dumb let me just say thanks for the shoutout to the scientific community it’s rare from realDonaldTrump

Sorta, not really
