Chesley Sully Sullenberger III, the retired pilot best known for successfully pulling off the Miracle on the Hudson, tore into President Trump in a series of Twitter posts Friday.
Mr. Sullenberger, who served in the U.S. Air Force before starting his civil aviation career, slammed Mr. Trump over disparaging remarks he reportedly made about service-members.
While I am not surprised, I am disgusted by the current occupant of the Oval Office. He has repeatedly and consistently shown himself to be completely unfit for and to have no respect for the office he holds, Mr. Sullenberger, 69, said on Twitter.

Great job of flying! Now (politically speaking) go to hell.
Once again, Tom Hanks involved. You can bet its liberal, then.
While I generally agree with you, I must say when it happened so suddenly after taking off in a huge town, its pretty harrowing. Would be another thing if it happened much later in flight.
VERY disappointed in Sully. I thought he was smarter.
He’s not that smart if he believed the Atlantic smear. The reason they put it out there and keep it out there is to convince fools like him that it is true.
He was bought and paid for. The timing and the comments are perfect. Son of a bitch he was paid for the performance. I asked him on his Instagram page how much he was paid for selling out his country? Waiting for an answer that will never come.

He truly is, during our lifetime, the first actual citizen President.
“He wasnt that great of a pilot. He sure didnt notice a massive flock of birds headed his way.”
I said he was a GOOD pilot, not a great pilot. And avoiding a flock of birds on take-off is very difficult, especially with a 737.
” avoiding a flock of birds on take-off is very difficult”
Pilots do it every day.
Sullenberger is another disgrace to the Long Blue Line, as is Popovich. But alas, USAFA will continue to honor both of these twits as Distinguished grads.
Great job landing that plane, Sully, but that gives you ZERO cachet, when it comes to politics.
VERY disappointed in Sully. I thought he was smarter.
Sully must make his money on the corporate rubber chicken dinner speaker circuit. Might be on a few corporate boards, too. Those folks hate Trump and he’s playing to that crowd.
ANY "hero" that acts only to further himself is NO HERO.

I believe them.
Go F yourself Sully. We are disgusted you made it out of that river.
It was a controlled crash and one that Every pilot has made, over and over in a simulator!
The guy did nothing that any pilot worth their salt couldn’t have done!
Yes, I am a retired career pilot myself.
My son flies for a major airline. They go through water landings every year in simulators. Not a big deal other than losing a plane.
Book sales and appearances slowing down?
Beat me by just over 1 minute.
