US. President Donald Trump responded sarcastically when reporters asked him about visiting the plane crash site that is the Potomac River in Washington. In reply he said, “You want me to go swimming?” There was a devastating plane crash between a jet and a helicopter that took place. According to report more than 40 bodies are found in river ,such a big loss. Trump gave a reaction in a sarcastic manner when reporters asked about visiting the site. He said, “I have a plan to visit, not the site. Because you tell me, what’s the site? The water? You want me to go swimming?”. People on social media started calling him inappropriate and insensitive regarding his insensitive statement on such a tragic, deadly midair crash.
“67 people die under his watch, and he makes a joke? Callous, heartless, completely lacking in empathy,” one user wrote. “We are such a profoundly unserious country sometimes,” another added. Trump announced his plans to meet badly hurt victims and their family members, but he did not specifically say when he is going to meet them. “I will be meeting with some people that were very badly hurt with their family members, obviously, but I’ll be meeting with some of the families, yeah,” he said.
Due to challenging conditions in the water and diminishing daylight, recovery operations at the site were paused. The plane crash was so devastating that officials said that further retrieval of the recovery operation requires removing aircraft parts from the water.
