Footage of the exchange quickly went viral, with many accusing the president of being insensitive to those who lost their lives in the disaster.
“We are only two weeks in, and I’m truly exhausted,” one person wrote on Instagram, referencing Trump’s recent inauguration as the 47th U.S. president.

“I’m just at a loss, my brain is shutting down,” a third person added.
For those grieving, Trump’s comments felt especially painful. “I can’t imagine losing someone in this tragedy and then hearing this absolute doorknob disrespect their death like that!” one person wrote.
Another commented, “I can’t even imagine how the families are feeling hearing this heartless statement from this felonious man.”
As the investigation into the crash continues, emotions remain raw, with many demanding more empathy from the president during this difficult time.
