Trump's blame game returns after deadly plane crash
Briefly

President Trump's response to a recent deadly air disaster sharply deviated from traditional presidential styles, as he speculated without evidence and blamed Democrats and diversity initiatives for the tragedy. Instead of focusing on unity or condolences, he utilized the moment to attack past Democratic administrations, asserting that safety protocols had been compromised in favor of diversity hiring. This approach, reminiscent of his earlier COVID-19 response, raised concerns about the appropriateness of his rhetoric as president, contrasting with the customary expectations of solemnity and responsibility during a national crisis.
