The American people see the truth. The vast majority, usually somewhere between 65% and 80% of respondents in a poll, blame Donald Trump for the economic problems and things going wrong in the country.
Yet the administration continues to blame Joe Biden, even though he has been out of office for almost a year and a half.
Spirit Airlines had been struggling for years. In fact, all airlines are struggling right now, so it’s important to be realistic about the situation Spirit was in before the Iran war.
A budget airline that was hanging on by its fingertips before Trump returned to power was pushed over the edge by Trump’s destruction of the economy.
That’s the common sense explanation for what happened to Spirit, but it’s not the explanation the Trump administration is using.
At a press conference on Saturday, Transportation Sean Duffy offered a strange explanation for why the government couldn’t make a deal to save Spirit: “Again, they have the final say on whether they want to make a deal with the government. But also from the government’s perspective, we often don’t have half a billion dollars sitting in a reserve account that we can put into an airline bailout. So there was some creative thinking about how this could happen. Those two things never came to fruition.”
The administration has no problem coming up with money to bail out foreign governments that are friendly to Trump, but they can’t strike a deal to save 17,000 jobs.
Duffy said the person responsible for these job losses is Joe Biden.
