Remember when flights were grounded nationwide four years ago, and Donald Trump Jr. immediately pounced on it to attack the Biden Administration? Well, Don Jr.’s old tweet is now coming back to bite him the a** after the FAA, under his daddy’s watch, grounded flights nationwide.
The FAA grounded all flights nationwide on Friday, with both the Transportation Secretary and the DHS Secretary trying to throw the other under the bus. With just two weeks until Thanksgiving, November is one of the busiest travel months in the United States. The last thing we need is a massive air transportation crisis, but the Trump administration somehow managed to create one, whether intentionally or incompetently.
While the exact cause of the nationwide grounding is still being investigated, an old social media post by Donald Trump’s cocaine-addled namesake son resurfaced to highlight his hypocrisy.
You see, flights were also grounded across the nation just under four years ago during the Biden administration, and Don Jr. wasted no time attacking then-Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for it.
“Breaking – All flights nationwide have been grounded – the #FAA is facing a computer outage,” Don Jr. wrote. “Yet another major blow to incompetent Transportation Sect Mayor Pete and people who get important jobs with no experience to check some identity politics boxes.”
Of course, the outage wasn’t Buttigieg’s fault. But the Biden administration and Democrats in Congress did pass an infrastructure bill that provided billions of dollars in funding to update air transportation systems across the country.
Trump has since withheld federal funding to siphon it off for his own pockets and pet projects, all while cutting the workforce and moving to install unproven AI systems, any or all of which could be to blame for Friday’s grounding.
But you won’t see a post from Don Jr. attacking Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy or his daddy because he’s a hypocrite.
