Shortly after news that an Egyptian airliner was lost at sea, the presumed GOP presidential nominee took to Twitter and exclaimed that Islamic extremists had struck again.

Given what he knew at the time, his comments were not based on any facts whatsoever. It was pure speculation. That's fine......unless you are interviewing for the most important job in the world.

A day or so passed and the cause for the plane's disappearance was still unknown. That didn't stop the intrepid Mr. Trump from taking the stage and stating that he is 100% certain that the plane was blown out of the sky by Islamic terrorists.

He may as well have flipped a coin. He spoke.....and continues to speak about this tragedy.....without knowing the facts.

Now....we STILL don't know what caused this plane to crash. No organization...over 100 hours on....has claimed responsibility. None of the debris found thus far tells us much. So...a wise person will withhold judgement.

My take.....Mr. Trump has not displayed wisdom in this case. Has he?

Oh, shit! This time he's really really gonna plummet in the polls. Just like all the pundits and others have predicted numerous times in nearly a year since he entered the race. Back when he had no chance at all of winning, according to the same clowns.

Nope. He won't plummet. He won't rise either.
 
Trump is employing a time honored tradition politicians use wherein they seek to get out in front of an incident solely for political gain. We saw it happen in Benghazi, when the OA immediately blamed the attacks on a video because there was an election going on and Obama had made a fuss about how he had AQ on the run. We saw it also when Obama leaped into the police brutality cases, in at least one instance declaring the police had acted stupidly before any of the details were reported. IOW, yeah, bad judgement, but par for the course. Apparently, Trump is learning how to be a politician.
 
Sounds like he's using the page from the obama playbook where obama jumps to the conclusion that the cops are to blame when blacks get themselves in trouble with the law.
Difference in this case is that it's the muslims fault every time where it's usually the black perp's fault most of the time with the police.

Awwwww. Obama!

Sorry.....this thread is about Trump. Obama's administration didn't speak out of turn after Benghazi and he didn't speak out of turn when his friend was arrested in his own home. You deflect...and lose.

Awwwwww. Obama!
 
A sensor showed smoke in the rear bathroom. And window sensors showed sealed failure on two windows. There are NO windows in airplane bathrooms.

So you have TWO areas of failure at the same time. He called it right.

You don't know that. You are, like Trump, talking out of your ass.

You miss the point. You blame trump for things that you give obama a pass on. You need to be consistent or else don't start threads like this.

Bullshit. You responded to the legit comparisons with sarcasm. That's giving obama a pass and a failure to demonstrate consistency. That undermines your credibility.

EgyptAir 804 plane crash: Doomed aircraft 'suffered on-board fire after ...

Daily Mirror
3 days ago - EgyptAir Flight MS804 may have suffered an on-board fire after smoke ... Seconds later, avionics compartment smoke was detected, followed by a warning ... R SLIDING WINDOW SENSOR; 00:26Z 2600 SMOKE LAVATORY ... British victim ofEgyptAir 804 disaster had laughed off family's terror attack fears.

The fire took place in the bathroom behind the cockpit and over the "lower 41".
"followed by a warning ... R SLIDING WINDOW SENSOR"

The ONLY sliding windows on an airplane are IN the cockpit. And the cockpit on those planes as others ARE sealed.

So YOU be the lying mother f#cker.

No legitimate comparisons were offered.

We are reminded of it every time YOU comment.
 
And when it turns out the Religion of Peace (tm) was behind it Trump goes up 20 points.

Islamic terrorists may well be behind it. I don't think his hasty judgement will win over any new voters, though.
Trump is where he is because he says what the majority of people are thinking. Even if this crash turns out to be just an accident, a solid majority are thinking Islam and will just say "yeah but next time".

As far as new voters, you have Hillary who is very weak in foreign affairs vs someone who comes across as tough, and in tense times people always flock to tough.

Yes he has. We all know it was a Muslim attack of some sort. Get your head out of the sand.
