He added that he ‘absolutely’ believes Trump is a racist.”

Every Bolshie "absolutely" believes every non-Bolshie is a racist, even, if, Trump is a Democrat.

More likely he forgot to do preflight check of his fuel tank selector. There is usually enough fuel in the lines to get off the ground before fuel exhaustion if selector is in OFF position or an empty tank is selected.

Carb icing not as likely taking off as it is when landing.

...Flying when your mind is elsewhere has claimed a lot of lives.

I’ma motorcyclist, I understand
Motorcyclists have a 34:1 odds ratio for dying, per mile driven
Your Brain is what’s most likely to keep you alive... or Kill you

His instruments were probably faulty and so were the ones in his plane.

“Harshly criticized” means he probably lied about POTUS and his supporters (racist, xenophobic, misogynist, fascist). All the usual lies of the left. Good riddance.

Calling Trump a racist is not equivalent to not liking Trump.
