people love their symbolic bullshit like, "yeah it would be nice to see the president go to the site" what that really means is it would be nice for the airspace to be cut off and traffic to be disrupted and flights to be delayed and the investigation slowed to a crawl while the security detail disrupts everything so that a guy can look around for a few minutes and be like, "yup, some aircraft sure did crash here!"

Part of me wonders if it would bring some comfort to the families of some victims who would like to see their tragedy given some weight and importance by someone as important as the President. But it's Trump, so we know he'd barely be able to pretend he gave a shit.

"Well you know it's a tragedy, these planes are usually so safe, big beautiful aircraft- have you ever been on one? Very nice but the "flight attendants" you have to call them flight attendants now because you get in trouble if you call them a stewardess but that used to be the name of the job! They used to say "I want to be a stewardess when I grow up!" but now they let anyone do it and you have to say the right thing or the left will come after you. The news media. The media will come after me and say "He doesn't think men should be on airplanes" but I love airline workers. Nobody loves our amazing airline workers more than me and people tell me that all the time"
