Trump coming out of the gate and blaming everyone else following the tragic plane crash, reminded me of Putin's 'flooding the zone' following the accidental shooting down of that Malaysia flight by Russia during the first Crimea war. It's a tactic. For Trump, maybe he panicked, thinking he'd be somehow blamed. (I don't think he's to blame, but I think his instincts by default go to self preservation.) So, first things, he had his people scrutinize the FAA's DEI policies for anything he could use to divert public perception from that. Then he rushed out in front of the camera to game the narrative again.
