Out of the top 10 busiest airports 6 are in democratic states and/or cities. Out of the top 5 international airports 3 of them are in democratic states and/or cities. If he did this it would literally grind our entire country to a halt.

They're gonna do something last minute before the World Cup because they think that will punish blue states...
All it's going to do is make the internationally wealthy who are flying in pissed off at trump.
Like, even for the World Cup, most people wouldn't come to America even if they could afford tickets. The only ones coming are trumpets or people so wealthy they didn't think Trump's bullshit would effect them.
But they don't realize in this context even millionaires are "the poors".
This whole thing is gonna blow up in everyone's face. And since only the wealthy and stupid are going to the games, I'm fine with just letting that happen. No rational person is going within miles of any of the games.
They sort of tried this once already, by threatening to suspend TSA Precheck during the shutdown, even though Precheck does legitimately save time all around for everyone. They backed off of that pretty quickly.
What’s up with billionaires and getting inside shit that is bound to implode? Do they know something we don’t, about implosion?

Survivorship bias, and it's fucking our society up in a lot of ways.
We're built to ignore negative consequences if we never see them happen to anyone. So when society (for better or worse) prevents consequences, people think there's no consequences and start acting like it.
Lots of people who are very wealthy in their home countries think they are insulated by their wealth from the consequences of what's happening here. So they're gonna show up expecting to be part of the in-group cuz they're wealthy.
I remember when everyone laughed at Ron Paul saying that the border fence will be used to "keep us in".
Seems right on target now.
Everyone looks at me funny when I tell them that I’m not traveling to other countries anymore because I don’t know if the president is going to do some stupid shit while I’m away and I won’t be able to get home and this is like the third stupid thing he’s done that would cause people to be stranded in another country in the 1.3 years of this term. (Not that I want to come back anyway, but I’d like to be able to move my dogs if I’m going to be living in another country.)
This is my dream. Get stranded somewhere in the UK. Contribute to a society that isn’t completely soul sucking.
I know it ain’t perfect, but what is🤷♂️
Isn't UK like the second worst option in the so-called western world?
I mean better than the US, but try and get stuck anywhere else in western Europe and you'll probably be better off
UK is USA's twin in almost every sense. The only difference is that UK isn't led by a far right, but it is on the verge of happening.
I remember how he basically gave the middle finger to people in the middle east when he started his war in Iran, but what were the other 2 again?
Remember, he needs a civil war to try to extend his term and avoid prison
This is some bullshit. Airport infrastructure can't just absorb the shutdown of several major international airports. That is to say that Trump can't hurt some airports without hurting all of them.
It can, when the numbers of international visitors continue to drop. Why should any sane person visit the US under the current Nazi administration?
“They won’t let me do whatever I want so waaah! WAAAH!!! I’m not going to do anything I’m supposed to do until I get my way! WAAAH!!!”

I hope they do Houston, our mayor insists that cooperation with ICE keeps us safe from Trump's wrath but he's wrong.
Its as stupid as it will be ineffective. I don't think NYC is going to suffer as much as everyone else if people have to take connecting domestic flights from some red backwater. Its just stacking stupid on cost at this point.
Hah, they think they can make flying through Newark shittier than it already is?
The plans could potentially impact
Double maybe 😐
And “drawing up” in quotes, so they're not really drawing up anything; some MAGA dickhead (not excluding the ladies here) just blurted something out.
Don't get me wrong, shit's fucked up, but reporting their bragging & triggering as actual news leaves me unimpressed.
Trump wants to provoke people so he can declare civil war and make himself el presidente` for life.
So he'll continue to ruin everything until he provokes the response he needs.
