With such a “BIG BRAIN” nothing should be complex!?🙄

Wind rubberband to the left wait a minute to the right ?

It’s tRump’s low intelligence that can not comprehend how a plane flies!

No matter what trumps says msnbc will find it wrong FakeNewsMedia

The president made the right call to 'ground' those aircrafts until they find out the problem!

*data show

He probably also believes that he is a safer driver than a self driving car. Human ego makes you believe the darnedest things.

NBCNews , c'mon, I know this is a week old but still. It's like you're not even trying any more. You're stats abt safety have absolutely nothing to do with what POTUS said, it's a bogus argument. Either you're so blinded by hate, or perhaps just not smart enough to see it.

Except his!

trump is a Luddite.

Is trump suggesting going back to a DC3 for Air Force One?

Anything beyond 1 plus 3 is too complex for him...

Trump should have let more take nose dives towards earth to make liberals happy.

realDonaldTrump

SEEMS TO ME THAT TRUMP FINDS THE 'OFF' AND 'ON' BUTTON'S ON ANYTHINGWOULD BE 'FAR TO COMPLEX' I HOPE SOMEONE IS PROTECTING THE RED BUTTON THAT SETS A BOMB OFF!!!!

JuddApatow He has a very low iq

Don’t confuse Trump with the facts.

BarneysNose

JuddApatow Tying his shoes is too complex.

JuddApatow I think he meant that the English language has become too complex.

What Trump means is airplanes are too complex for his genius brain to comprehend. Airplane technology uses words that aren’t in Trump’s best words list

PROGRESS...GUMM!!!!GUMM!!!

...can he even drive an SUV...😎😎

NBCNews 😱Mr President you want to dismantle all progress in America question is WHY?

Let him fly to the next asshat campaign stop in the Wright bros. Sand-kicker. but they wouldn't let him near it. (btw, it's on loan for the display. We don't own the plane...)

Now look at firearms and crime.

The concept of the wheel is far too complex for this president.

Everything is too complex for Trump

I'm sure a gum wrapper is too complex for him as well.

well, I guess haters gotta hate, everything!

He doesn’t know what complex means...

Except this particular plane has had more than average crashes & internationally has been prohibited to fly!? There is a problem with the technical side of this plane... so in a sense he’s correct!

MSNBC can always find a reason to bash Trump

Well he’s old enough to remember traveling by a giant balloon.

You see, what you're showing here are facts, and, facts just don't fly in realDonaldTrump's world.

Anything that he doesn't or can't understand (which includes thousands of things), he labels 'far too complex.'

Is it not “your” view that they are more complex? Lol

For him a toilet is technology above his understanding

Trump probably believes airplane wings flap.

Breaking News: Man who doesn't know how to e-mail thinks only MIT Grads are qualified to Fly.

'Considerably' is Not an imperial measures 'Just the Facts Ma'am'. Let me help. Number of fliers (3.21 Billion) AN 8 fold increase since 1970s. 2017 Flight Deaths =0. There ya go short and sweet.

BarneysNose Donny thinks they should stick with Balsa wood & rubber bands

He hasn't quite mastered umbrella technology, so yeah.

A paper airplane is too complex for trump.

Great, he’s a Luddite too. Who voted for this guy. AgentOrange

Trump find the alphabet to complex,so aircraft will go right over his noggin,literally.He offers nothing to America as a President even less as a man.Every single day he is in office America becomes damaged goods.

Once again Trump sounding off from his gut and not using the facts that are available to him. When did American's decide it was better to be stupid that knowledgeable.

I know a few pilots. They say that technology is so advanced these planes fly themselves. Leaving only a few seconds to make a correction if anything goes wrong.

I think he talks about his old Junker.his mechanics can't almost no longer find any part for his airplane

Msnbc, you cannot even comprehend simple plain English, no real journalist at msnbc propagandist machine of the dem/socialist/Communist (DSC) or whatever the brand is this morning Fake NEWS

Senile

Can we infer from that comment from the idiot in chief that he will forego traveling on Air Force One? Will he start traveling by bus now?

Trump is intellectually thwarted! I'm being nice! He questioned McCain's grades! The U of P must be hiding.Trump is happy his father was born before him. McCain was a great man who gave to his country first. Risking his life, working for the ppl of America for a better future!

Because he knows nothing about it. Another stupid comment

weird my uncle is a pilot and said the exact same thing. In fact it's a thing among pilots that too much of the plane is automatically flown and now and they want more manual control. Why is MSNBC attacking the president for a very real concern?

Add this to the list.

How on earth did the ECVoters voted this doorknob as president?They were suffering momentarily loss of sanity&decency...I hope they learned their lessons well in 2020!

Legos are too complex for this guy.

Who’s going to talk about Chuck Todd?!?

Donald Trump: “I know more about airplanes than the pilots do, believe me.”

Didn't he take credit for the miraculous year of zero airplane crashes in 2017?

Imagine that - Trump being ridiculously wrong on something AGAIN. When will this joke end?

Pres. Trump tweets my view that Pres. Trump has dementia.

Lol, for Donald Trump, putting on his makeup for 3 hours every morning is far too complex.

That is why you have to TRAIN AND TEACH pilots of the new features on any plane instead of trying to save money, save lives instead.

He also takes credit for the safety of air flight.

This from a man who can't operate an umbrella.

Another juvenile comment from our demented leader.

This from the guy who also couldn’t figure out how an umbrella works.

An umbrella is complex to trump... not surprising that airplanes boggle his mind.

3rd grade math is “far too complex” for him.

Because he’s so ignorant

Senile

He's a remarkably stupid person. He has little functional knowledge of practically anything and essentially no intellectual curiosity. Facts don't matter to him, he seemingly cannot be educated. On top of that, he lies constantly and seems to believe everyone else does as well.

Well judging by the news that the same thing happened in this crash, he seems to be on to something.

Looking at his hair, aerodynamics is not a specialty of his.

Clap on, clap off is too complex for Donnie.

MSNBC running low on Trump Hate stories

A pencil sharpener is far too complex for Trump

But he owns a plane 🙄😒

realDonaldTrump is stupid..

For his simple mind.

His view is that of a 4 yr old, and that's why he needs to go.

Yes. President Trump is an Absolute GENIUS.

And now he flies? Wow

Coming from a guy who was stupid enough to collude on Twitter 😂
