Trump has lots to say about everything — except the Baltimore bridge collapse
It’s the latest major event the former president has steered clear of.
In the two-plus days since the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, former President Donald Trump has had a lot to say about everything but.
He posted to Truth Social at least three times about the social media company’s IPO and his wealth jumping over $6 billion. He posted about the New York judge who could rule to take some of his property. And, among other news of the day, he posted a specious New York Post story about the comedian Jon Stewart allegedly overvaluing his New York home.
But Trump’s only response to the bridge — a major news story blanketing cable news — has been to share a clip of Sean Hannity criticizing President Joe Biden for not saying enough about what Hannity called “the tragic bridge collapse that took place in Baltimore.”
Trump has ignored or hesitated to engage substantively with major news events in favor of narrow grievances and random rants. Most notably, last month, he went 72 hours following the death of Alexei Navalny before making his first comments about the death of the Russian opposition leader.
