It’s not so much a backstory as it is to say what Trump was trying to cover up. The crash Safety Incident Report and subsequent Air Worthiness Directives will not be out for some time. Data are limited now and drawing early conclusions is scary to me. It was a common military check flight and a common commercial airliner landing path. So routine. My father was an Army standardization pilot. He did these types of check flights often. I read every final report.
Robert has given presentations to Field Team 6 to the volunteers working to elect Democratic candidates. He is inspirational and deeply believes in activism. I haven't yet disagreed with anything I've heard or read from him.
You make excellent points. The hallmark of psychopathy is lack of empathy. Trump is worse that a psychopath. He's accurately been called a malignant narcissist. He's even worse that that.
In March I wrote Sadists ® U.S: Trump and The Dark Tetrad.
It should be obvious that Trump is an example of someone who has all of the traits of The Dark Tetrad: narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and sadism. https://halbrown.substack.com/p/sadists-us-trump-and-the-dark-tetrad Statistics as to the numbers out outright psychopaths in the US is 1-3%. While it may seem like a small percentage that is several million people. Trump has found and attracted many of them to work for him.

Inspired by HCR’s substack of today, on Julia Ward Howe’s Battle Hymn of the Republic.
Updated Battle Hymn of the Republic
For our times
Mine eyes have seen the gory, of the story of the Trump
The fat liar, pants on fire, lies as bigger than his rump
I have seen him falsely lie with bold faced falsehoods that defy the common sense
As can be asserted by none other than his VP, the servile Mike Pence
I can hear his utter balderdash whilst I sleep or in a trance
His psychosis is marching on
In the horrors of his depravities Satan enraptures the fools and freaks
With a lunacy of ghastly proportions that entices high tech geeks
As he lives to spread his evil, let us fight to make men see
That truth is plain to we
He’s just, a grifting stupid con man
He’s just, a lying stupid con man
He’s just, a fucking stupid con man
And his grift is marching on
Nice.
That song lends itself well to parody. We sang many versions of it when I was a little kid, all of them awful. I like your version!
Carl, love your work. Great insights. Question for you and others: is there still hope ?
I am optimistic. The battle is for the midterms. Not far away. We take the House and the Senate then.

The back story to the mid-air collision is definitely illustrative.
