As the world was grounding 737 Max airliners this week, following the second crash involving the new jet in five months, the Trump administration, serving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boeing, declared "no basis to order grounding."
This from an administration and president that claim climate change is a hoax, radiation and pesticides are healthy, and that "raking" prevents forest fires.
When President Trump finally buckled to pressure and grounded the 737 Max Wednesday, he said he "maybe didn't have to" but thought it important "psychologically."
And why shouldn't everybody trust the judgment of a guy who didn't know the difference between HIV and HPV, proposed that exercise is bad for you, and claimed that vaccines cause autism?
