🚨 let me explain what just happened..
TSA workers .. the people who screen your luggage at airports.. stopped getting paid because Congress couldn't pass funding..
today Trump signed an executive order to fix it.. problem solved.. hero moment..
except..
Congress didn't go rogue.. his party controls it.. the funding stalled because of chaos in his own house.. TSA workers went without pay because of a problem he had the power to prevent..
and he had the power to sign this executive order the entire time..
in 2019, Trump's government shutdown lasted 35 days.. TSA workers called in sick in record numbers.. airports descended into a state of utter confusion.. security lines collapsed.. he eventually ended it the same way.. an executive order..
same playbook.. different year..
create the emergency.. let people suffer through it.. sign the paper.. take the credit..
Somewhere a TSA agent is paying their overdue rent with a paycheck that should have never stopped.
