'Heinous personality': Internet unleashes on 'psychopath' Trump after he jokes about crash

30 January

Before all the bodies of the 67 people killed in a mid-air collision Wednesday night have even been recovered, President Donald Trump made a quip about the tragedy. One comment Trump recently made from the Oval Office resulted in anger and outrage on social media.

On Thursday evening, while taking questions from reporters from the Resolute Desk, Trump demurred from answering questions about whether he would meet with victims' families. But in one exchange, he suggested to a reporter that he didn't plan to visit the site of the crash, which happened above the Potomac River, because he didn't want to "go swimming."

"I have a plan to visit — not the site, because, you tell me, what's the site? The water? You want me to go swimming?" Trump said. "I don't have a plan to do that, but I will be meeting with some people that were very badly hurt — with their family member, obviously."

Pennsylvania Capital-Star correspondent Nick Field theorized that because the fatal plane crash took up the bulk of TV news coverage on Thursday, Trump was "p—d" and "had to rectify that by putting his heinous personality on display and stealing attention." Writer and comedian Akilah Hughes wrote on Bluesky: "Wow. What a piece of s—."

"Absolutely no empathy at all," TV actor and writer Jean-Marcos González posted to X.

Attorney Chase Madar lamented that Americans were "in for another four years of this s—." Author and artist Oisín McGann responded to the video of Trump's comments by writing: "Okay, so he's a psychopath." And actor Nazarin Nour tweeted that she "hate[s] this f—ing idiot."

"People’s loved ones died in that water, children included, and he makes a joke," Nour wrote.
