Can Trump be held at least partly responsible for the recent spate of aircraft crashes?

Trump fired a bunch of aviation safety and regulatory personnel as soon as he took office because they wouldn't kiss his a$$, and possibly to prevent his buddy Elon from being fined for multiple safety violations by SpaceX. Shazam, almost immediately a plane hits a military chopper over DC, and a medijet goes down over Philadelphia.
It's probably too soon to blame His Royal Orangeness for this, but deleting those people whose primary responsibility is air safety is NOT going to improve the situation.

    Unless something he did or didn't do during his first term could have caused these disasters, I don't think we can blame Trump.  Having said that, now that he is taking a machete to government employees, there is no way his removal of necessary personnel responsible for airline safety, should there be further disasters, he wouldn't be held responsible.  Of course, with Trump, he is never responsible for anything that goes wrong - it's always the fault of someone else.

    I make it a practice to not assign blame until all the facts are in and the investigation is complete. We usually find that that there are multiple factors that might have been overcome individually, but not collectively.
