Trump's Reaction to the Tragedy

Donald Trump quickly blamed Democrats and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices after a tragic collision between a passenger jet and a military helicopter in Washington, D.C. His anger towards media questioning reflected a pattern of lashing out when confronted with uncomfortable realities, demonstrating a disconnection from the gravity of the situation.
