We had a tragic incident this week when an EgyptAir flight from Paris to Cairo crashed into the Meditteranean. It disappeared from radar just before landing in Cairo.
Naturally, Trump had to go tweet about it. He called it a terrorist attack within hours of the news breaking:
Looks like yet another terrorist attack. Airplane departed from Paris. When will we get tough, smart and vigilant? Great hate and sickness!

You know who else said it was a terrorist attack? Russia. Yes, Russia was the only country saying it was a terrorist attack.
Here is what Trump had to say about Clinton and the crash:
“Look at the carnage all over the world including the World Trade Center, San Bernardino, Paris, the USS Cole, Brussels and an unlimited number of other places. She and our totally ignorant President won’t even use the term Radical Islamic Terrorism. And by the way, ask Hillary who blew up the plane last night – another terrible, but preventable tragedy. She has bad judgement and is unfit to serve as President at this delicate and difficult time in our country’s history.”
He’s blaming her for things that happened years after she completed her time as Secretary of State.
Here is another one of his fear-mongering tweets:
Look where the world is today, a total mess, and ISIS is still running around wild. I can fix it fast, Hillary has no chance!

So far, his plan is banning Muslims from entering the U.S., bringing back torture, and killing the terrorists’ families.
Egyptian officials announced that there possibly was a terrorist attack because of the way the plane nosedived into the sea. This is not an official Egyptian government statement; this is just a statement from one of the individual investigators. However, they didn’t announce it until this morning. Trump was saying this before that fact was announced.
People have gotten so hyped up about terrorism that they cry terror too quickly. For example, a man was kicked off of a plane for a “terror plot” because of his writing. It turned out the guy was a math professor writing math equations.
