The incident quickly went viral on social media, particularly among Trump supporters who mocked the tendency to blame the president for crises. One user posted on X, “Plane crashes in Canada. Trump’s fault. No thinkers, just reactionaries.”

Others expressed similar sentiments, with one user commenting, “Another plane has CRASHED and flipped on its way to Toronto…will Trump ever take accountability?”
Brian Allen, another Twitter user, highlighted the growing concern over aviation incidents, writing, “Something’s going on in the skies, and it’s getting harder to ignore. Four major crashes. 85 lives lost. 15 aviation incidents in just the first six weeks of 2025.”
Despite the barrage of online comments, aviation experts suggest that the severe weather in Toronto, particularly high winds, likely contributed to the crash.
Delta Airlines has not yet released a comprehensive statement regarding the crash’s cause, but early reports indicate that weather conditions may have played a role. The incident adds to rising concerns about flight safety as aviation authorities continue to investigate recent crashes.
As online debates continue, the official investigation is ongoing, with more information expected to be released soon.
