You are wrong my man. Its not thoughtless at all. It plays to his constituents and like most pollies - gets attention focussed away on what should be an obvious question. Did the firing of a whole range of aviation safety commitees plus spending cuts contribute. Usually the narrative is always who to blame and the above create an obvious target. Not anymore - its air traffics fault.

You are judging this by your own moral standards. And this is the mistake everyone makes. Cannot fight against something you do not understand.

Comms is all about initiative in creating the narrative. And thats the issue with FLAFOTUS (and in some respects brilliant). Your morals do not allow you to take advantage of a tragedy. He doesn't care and grabs the initiative. And once you have that on repeat via socials etc., almost impossible to grab it back. So you play a lame game of catchup.

Played exactly the same game in Cali. Rinse wash repeat. Very hard to fight anyone on anything when they have no bottom line.
I agree. It’s what makes the prick even worse.

Fk he is just a thoughtless prick. What a callous bastard. Not even thinking of the families involved. The experts haven’t even worked out what happened yet, but he throws out a statement that will have the conspiracy theorists salivating.
All politicians have some level of opportunism, but Trump is the worst case I have seen. Any tragedy he immediately manipulates it for his gain. It's horrible to see him constantly bring up grieving families in front of an audience and use them to get praise. And everytime his supporters defend it.

I remember the incident at the federal military graveyard while he was campaigning. He went to carry out a photo op with the families of the soldiers that died during the Afghanistan withdrawal. A staff member of the military graveyard tried to stop him saying that it's illegal to carry out campaign photo ops in the graveyard, and Trump's staff shoved her out of the way, took the photo, put it on social media, then Trump called the staff member a "Radical lefty"

And all his supporters defended his actions.

Even during his after-inaugeration party, he brought up families of the grieving families of Hamas hostages that died and said that they lost their kids because of Biden. He said that their family members would be alive if he wasn't robbed of the 2020 election. Again, this is just after his inaugeration. He has already won the election, and he used the grieving families to once again attack Biden and the Democrats.

It just doesn't make sense to me. People praising this kind of thing are either complete bastards, or they've just been so brainwashed that they think this kind of treatment of human beings is acceptable.

Usual speculation from people looking for a conspiracy. Just sounds like they found the first body.

As a seperate note, generally when I see something like this, I immediately check the posting account to see if it's legit. Clicked on his account and his most popular recent popular stories are about how the government is seeding clouds over Florida with cocaine, and the LA fires were started by Chinese space lasers. The stupidity of Chinese space lasers aside, could you image the amount of cocaine you would need to affect people through cloud seeding? There isn't that much cocaine in the world.

The bloke is a nutjob

Oh crap, I just took it off another forum as I don't have social media.

They probably heard "DC" and automatically thought government.

PS speaking about nut jobs, do you have to be a X user to sus them out?
