[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just getting caught up, and I am absolutely disgusted by Trump’s response. He is a sick man. He barely uttered his condolences before blaming everyone he could think of:

Biden/Obama
Pete
Disabled
Minorities
Women

He is a child. He acts like an actual child. In this moment, it is not appropriate on any level to start pointing fingers and passing blame. People are grieving. People need reassurance that it is safe to fly.

The way he shook up the entire government on day one makes it absolutely absurd for him to blame Biden for anything at all. Nothing is as he left it. Trump had already wreaked havoc on every agency and procedure involved. He owns this.

Not to mention his flippant response when asked if he would visit the site - “You want me to go swimming?”

Behavior scientist here. We actually see “blame” (basically a form of aggression when you can’t be physically violent) across multiple species when they perceive another animal has something they don’t. Example, if you have 2 rats together, and one has to press a button more than the other to get food, the one that has to press more will attack the one who has to press less. And if it can’t attack, it’ll often find other ways to behave aggressively. Even if it doesn’t result in more food for it.

This is what goes on with trump and trump supporters. The see others getting things they don’t or in greater amounts (jobs, money, etc) and the gut instinct is to attack those people, especially if they are lower on the social hierarchy (in monkeys, they will attack lower status monkeys but groom higher status, which is why people fawn over Trump and Musk). It’s the whole crabs in a bucket thing.

When logically trump’s solution make no sense. He says we need to have geniuses as pilots and ATC. This is one of his usual responses - we need better people, geniuses. But there just aren’t that many geniuses to fill every role he says need them. Military especially, which typically attracts people from low income families who don’t have many options.

You can show trump or his supporters all the data in the world and it won’t matter because they are operating on a base level instinct to attack others. And in fact that typically makes things worse because you are taking away the one hope they have of their own lives improving.
