Is it weird that The Washington Post somehow finds a way to tie the story of the Trump Casino helicopter crash in 1989 to the story of Robert Trump's passing? Seems like a somewhat forced connection, if you think of all the things they might have chosen to write about at this time. Just feels like a non sequitur to me.

The [Washington Post] writes:

"(Robert's) life was altered when a tragedy affected his brother’s Atlantic City casino business in 1989. That year, Steven Hyde, who oversaw Donald Trump’s Taj Mahal casino, was traveling on a helicopter with two other executives when the aircraft crashed in New Jersey, killing all onboard. Donald Trump had overextended himself in building the Taj Mahal casino and had relied heavily on Hyde. With Hyde’s death, Donald Trump asked Robert to oversee operations. Because of mistakes for which Donald Trump bore at least some responsibility, including overestimating the demand for gambling, Robert Trump had difficulty stabilizing the finances of the Taj Mahal."
