Why Supporters Credit Him
Supporters might argue that under Trump's leadership, the aviation industry has seen significant advancements in technology and safety measures. The defense might suggest that this crash should not overshadow the overall improvements made in air travel.
The Supporting Record
The defense submits that aviation remains one of the safest modes of transportation, with millions of flights operating without incident. The defense might argue that this crash, while tragic, is an anomaly in an otherwise safe industry.
The Limitation or Competing Explanation
