Washington Week

Trump quick to attack after the Washington airline tragedy

It was a tragedy when an Army helicopter collided with a passenger jet Wednesday night over the Potomac. It has traditionally been the role of a president to publicly mourn the dead, promise a full and transparent investigation and withhold judgment about the cause of the accident all while calming the public. President Trump, of course, reads from a different playbook.
