My heart goes out to the victims of this terrible tragedy and I look forward to the preliminary and full reports from the NTSB so we can learn from this loss of life and ensure it doesn't happen again.
Trump is such a performative shitstain and his populist ilk can fuck right off. To place blame for an accident while bodies are still strapped to seats in the water is abhorrent. The NTSB is amongst the foremost investigative bodies in any domain, full-stop. Let them do their work and they will provide answers. Of course, this becomes more difficult if the sitting POTUS is a self-serving piece of shit that will politicize ANYTHING he can to maintain power.
Yuck 🤮
Trump, like most politicians and CEOs, is a psychopath. He doesn't understand or feel empathy. More disturbingly, he doesn't feel compelled to pretend he does.
His lack of empathy and whatever rage is burning inside of him, and the fact that he's the most powerful man in the world, makes for a dangerous cocktail. There was a little mustachioed man from Austria who also made the same cocktail with the same three ingredients 92 years ago and we all know what happened.
