Pete Buttigieg, former transportation secretary and former South Bend mayor, called Trump's comments during today's press briefing "despicable."

President Donald Trump slammed former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for running the agency "into the ground" following the D.C. plane crash disaster.

Pete Buttigieg was less than thrilled when President Donald Trump called him out Thursday during a news conference.

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg called President Donald Trump “despicable” after he blamed Buttigieg for Wednesday night’s collision between a commercial flight and a helicopter over Washington, D.C.

Pete Buttigieg is looking into a potential Senate run in 2026 in Michigan, which was won by President Donald Trump in 2024.

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg criticized Trump on Thursday for his reaction to the devastating incident after Trump baselessly blamed the Biden administration’s policies for threatening air safety. Buttigieg called out the president for “lying” about the crash in a post on social media platform X.

Trump left more questions than answers in his expletive attacks on Democrats and diversity practices during Thursday's press conference.

In his first news conference since the aircraft collision over the Potomac River, President Donald Trump on Thursday implied that diversity, equity and inclusion programs could be the cause, although an investigation has only just begun into the fatal disaster.

After mourning the loss of victims in an air collision in Washington, D.C., President Donald Trump pivoted quickly to placing the blame.

Trump said he didn't know what caused the crash but "we have some very strong opinions and ideas."

The video, set to “Bad to the Bone” by George Thorogood, drew condemnation. “Kash Patel, Donald Trump’s pick for FBI Director, shared an AI-generated video of himself chainsawing Members of Congress, political opponents, and media outlets. Dangerous and disqualified,” Judiciary Democrats tweeted Saturday.
