Trumps goal is still destroying the US economy.  He bragged about doing all of this in his project 2025.

Technically not his, he’s not smart enough. It’s the Heritage Foundation and they are who is running this shit show. The orange turd is just the blow hard mouthpiece

Yeah that would lead to a domino effect of economic disaster. Remember when they briefly shut down the El Paso airport and economists ran projections on what closing *that one airport* could cost and I want to say it was in the billions.

Wait until the economics run the numbers for tariffing the world, or for invading Iran, or for basically almost anything Trump does!

Trump blocked a deal causing this problem. Acting like he can solve it magnanimously is utter bullshit.

Or better yet, let people into the gates without the security theater like how it was before 9/11 and before TSA existed.

Normally I don't hate this idea, but the fact that we just pissed off the planet's largest state sponsor or terrorist attacks makes it seem a little ill timed

To be clear it wasn’t like that before 9/11. Security at airports was standardized internationally in 1973. It was just done by private companies with varying degrees of equipment, competence, fucks to give, etc At some airports there wasn’t much but at SFO at least there was the same general setup, metal detector, X-ray for baggage, sometimes a pat down.
