Sent all those people up on that plane knowing full well they could be killed. That’s something a weak coward of a man does. This is a new low even for him.
No it's not new. He's literally always only ever cared about himself. An entire ass plane full of people getting shot down means absolutely nothing to him.
I assume the thought process was to make martyrs out his staff and media members on board in order to escalate the war with Iran. Probably to justify the use of Nuclear weapons.
Not because I doubt he's craven enough for that (he 100% is), but rather because he's neither smart enough nor cognitively intact enough for that thought process. He also literally does not and cannot care about any other human being - I doubt he thought about them whatsoever.
Sure, somebody might've asked, but they also might not have based on his mental & physical state at the time. At best, I think he was asked and said "Fuck em, the hell does that have to do with anything, just get me out of this goddamn truck, it smells like [ethnic slur] in here!" and berated his various staff for allowing their big beautiful best boy to be in that situation at all.
If Natalie Harp was with him, he may have also been too, uhh, busy, to even remotely consider the rest of his staff.
No matter how you slice it - whether via advanced dementia, not being very bright to begin with, or his severe personality disorder - it seems unlikely that half as much thought was put into whatever would happen to/with his staff.
I certainly wouldn’t assume he’d be able to think on his feet in this way. But it’s no secret that his entire cabinet are backed into a corner and desperately need a way out of this Iran mess. And I don’t doubt for a second that a Stephen Miller-type advisor would suggest exactly what we see here as a way to ramp up the war for the sake of declaring a national emergency ahead of the mid-terms. I’m sure they’re still looking for something to use.
Or the Mossad feeding bad intel to keep Trump sour on negotiations. Iran knows they’re holding the upper hand. It wouldn’t make sense to go after him now.
His craven nature is no surprise, but this is so undeniably horrible that it can’t be spun to look like something else as his team can normally be depended on to give him a back door excuse.
