If I were a superstitious man I'd say that the universe is giving us a warning about Donald Trump.

Millions of the actually superstitious are certainly going to take it as one.

#1: Hi Zed: A solar eclipse occurred under Trumpf's first reign of terror, historically seen as an omen of bad times. The Dotard stared at the dangerous rays too without a visor. metro.co.uk

This is the thread where no amount of facts will change a Lumpers mind.

By any measure accidents are lower than year in recorded "history".

Not that he has anything to do with it, BUT if in your mind he is "president plane crash" he's doing a wonderful job.

#3 - you do realize that the data doesn't show this is lower than "recorded history."
Not even close. Are you actually so stupid that you think 2025 includes all the months that haven't happened?
I just put all the data into a spreadsheet and ran the averages for a series of years.
Your statement isn't even close to be true.

Trump was better at not doing plane crashes in his first term.

Firing Air Traffic Controllers is a good way to get more plane crashes.

Train derailments?

What about them?

You obviously think you have a point.

Here, some information for that empty head of yours:

"For the last decade, an average of 1,300 trains derailed each year, accounting for 61% of all train accidents."

usafacts.org

Now. How does that compare to the number of aviation accidents in the past couple months?
