Bill Maher rare praise for President Trump about his controversial 'swimming' response to the crash of Washington DC plane.
The talk show -guest, 69, surprised some viewers when he defended Trump for mocking a question about visiting the crash site in the Potomac River, where 67 people lost their lives when a Blackhawk military helicopter poured against an American Airlines Jet on Wednesday evening .
The moment came when Trump asked questions in the Oval Office the next day on the answer of his administration and said he is planning to see the area, but 'not the site'.
'Because what – you tell me. What is the site? Water. Are we going to swim? “He said.
Although the interaction caused for many who thought Trump had vertical the horror crash, Maher said that he admired Trump's authenticity in this moment.
“Every other politician would go:” Of course it was a tragedy, “he said.
'And (after seeing Trump's swimming comment), I was exactly as good, good, you are exactly right. It is a stupid question, and you have exactly the answer you earn. '
It came after Maher distributed his audience when he joked about the tragic plane crash in his Friday night opening monologue, some viewers thought it was 'too fast'.

Maher surprised some by praising President Trump's controversial comments after the plane crash, where he joked about 'swimming' to the crash site when he was asked if he would visit
The talk show host, 69, opened his show by noticing the 'terrible news of DC' this week.
Maher put pleasure in the controversial reaction of President Trump, and said he “came out immediately and said,” We don't know what the crash caused, “and then Dei Dei blamed.”
“And then the Democrats Elon Musk blamed the removal of the FAA 10 days earlier, and then Bobby Kennedy said they all died of the vaccine,” he added.
The comedian said that Trump's leap to blame dei was because reactions in the US to tragedies such as the crash are 'always such an overreaction'.
“Yes, we have already surprised with Dei, now we have an accident like this, and Trump's opinion is that the air traffic controller was distracted because at the time he was a Haitian who ate a cat.”
Maher's monologue was criticized by some who said that the political jokes about the devastating crash were 'too fast'.
'Aircraft crash jokes? Yikes, “said a commentator in response.
Maher, a frequent Trump critic, took place in his monologue to make the early movements of the Trump government that again suffer from the aviation industry.
“This administration is 11 f *** ING days old, it seems longer, right?” he said.
“And they are already from the FAA, the head of the TSA, removed, eliminated the Aviation Security Committee – I know you are very big in firing, but maybe the people who talk to the planes are holding.”
It is because control has now fallen over how the shocking aircraft crash unfolded about one of the busiest air spaces in America, where a number of officials describe it as 'prevent'.
One of the errors included that an air traffic controller was said to leave his mail early just before the flight 5342 of American Airlines clashed in the air with a military helicopter.
After the employee had left, one air traffic controller remained to process both helicopter traffic and to manage aircraft – which should have been a divided duty – according to the New York Times.
According to the report, these tasks are usually treated between two people from 10 a.m. to 9.30 p.m. After that, the tasks are usually combined and left to one person because the airport sees less traffic later in the night.
Allegedly, a supervisor has decided to combine those tasks before the planned cut -off time and allowed one air traffic controller to leave the work early.
It has also emerged that the army helicopter, who was wearing three soldiers, who was involved in the collision, perhaps also deviated from his approved flight route.
The outlet again spoke with insiders who said that the Sikorsky H-60 Black Hawk helicopter was not on his approved route and flew higher than it should have been.
Reagan National has been understaffed for many years, with only 19 fully certified controllers from September 2023 – well below the goal of 30 – according to the most recent air traffic controller that has been submitted to the congress.

On Thursday morning, officials confirmed that all 67 had died on both the plane and the helicopter, with their rescue mission and then became a recovery operation.
Researchers made a break later that night, after they had pulled 40 bodies to the coast, when they found two black boxes of the flight of the American Airlines.
A flight data recorder and cockpit speech recorder were pulled out of the river by storage teams.
This will be monumental help for the authorities while investigating what exactly happened in the moments that lead to a disaster.
