    LOL. Trump said it was definitely terrorism?

    Guess it depends on what lengths you "operate" on said theory.

    So Mr. Trump can assure the entire world will be tough, smart and vigilant? Would be quite a trick.

    He is probably right. Does the risk of being wrong not far outweigh the benefits of that tweet?

    I guess with Trump nothing he says will change the minds of people that are voting for him

    Odds are strong it was a human-caused explosion. Odds are good it was terrorism. But terrorism by whom against whom? Most of the passengers and all of the crew were surely Muslims themselves. Egypt is not the West. It is, however, a military dictatorship facing increasing terror-based opposition, as it's imprisoned/executed other kinds of opponents. That's why US authorities are cautious in their initial responses to such events. Not because they find it convenient to say the sky is green. It's rather that there are different kinds of being wrong, and stating or implying that anything bad that happens anywhere has something to do with the US is stupid.

    If somehow Trump beats the odds and is elected Jeff Pearlman's head will explode.
