There were no commercial passenger jet deaths anywhere in the world last year. It's a remarkable record, but is it fair for President Donald Trump to claim some of the credit?

The facts tell a different story. Global and U.S. commercial aviation deaths have been trending downward for more than a decade due to a variety of factors.

Oh thanks.

BTW, there is a report that Kim Jung Un is opening up the border hotline at 6:30 today.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Obama did what Obama did because he is a Leftist Ideologue.

Trump does what Trump does just to piss off people who hate him.

This is the kind of stuff that Trump does that drives me crazy...

Considering this is a world wide success story how can Trump imply he was the reason

Consider the voting base, and the kind of factoids that stick in their heads at election time.

Yes, a deep, nuanced, Foreign Policy-esque discussion of aviation safety might be more appropriate coming from the President of an ideal nation, but Trump knows his audience. He's just doing what the Democrats have done to us for decades - jump on every tidbit of good news and take credit for it while the opposition hems and haws about details.

They would have given Zero the credit in a heartbeat.

Obama had seven years without an aviation fatality. When did they give him credit for that?
