lol donald trump takes credit for zero passenger flight deaths in 2017.

Donald Trump has suggested he is responsible for the decline in passenger flight deaths in 2017. 

The US President said he has "been very strict on commercial aviation" since becoming US President thereby improving the safty of aeroplanes.

Dutch-based aviation consultancy To70 on Monday released its annual Civil Aviation Safety Review that reported only two fatal accidents, both involving small turbo-prop aircraft, with a total of 13 lives lost. No jets crashed in passenger service anywhere in the world. The two crashes that occurred on New Year’s Eve – a seaplane in Sydney which killed six, and a Cessna Caravan which crashed in Costa Rica, killing all 12 on board – were not included in the tally, since both aircraft weighed under 5,700kg — the threshold for the report.

Trump took credit for this, tweeting: "Since taking office I have been very strict on Commercial Aviation. Good news – it was just reported that there were Zero deaths in 2017, the best and safest year on record!"
