Donald Trump Weighs in on Crashed EgyptAir Flight
Not to be outdone by a plane crash and 66 possible dead bodies, Donald Trump has found a way to insert himself into the EgyptAir news cycle, speculating that the plane was brought down by “yet another terrorist attack.”
Looks like yet another terrorist attack. Airplane departed from Paris. When will we get tough, smart and vigilant? Great hate and sickness!

The plane, carrying 66 people, crashed in Egyptian airspace on its way to Cairo. Rescue workers haven’t even found the debris yet. Egypt’s minister of civil aviation, Sherif Fathy, has said that it’s too soon to rule out either a terror attack or technical problems.
“When we have the truth, we must draw all the conclusions, whether it is an accident or another hypothesis, which everybody has in mind, the terrorist hypothesis,” French president François Hollande said Thursday. On the other hand, why wait?
