      This will cascade. International airlines would sooner stop international flights to the US entirely han reschedule them to the whims of a dipshit.

      Remember when international travel was down due to Covid and didnt bounce back for a few years. Remember how conservatives made a talking point of how that was Bidens fault for not resolving it faster?

      Turns out nah they’ll literally cancel the international flights themselves if its an excuse to win political points

      Let them try 

      There’s going to be so much blowback from this they’re going to wish they had never even thought of it. 

      It’s also more likely them trying to play hardball with their stupid fart of the deal.

      If they do this, there are going to be so many unintended consequences, including most hardware stores will have a hayday selling pitchforks, and likely there will be a massive sale on torches.

      Even without their threat coming true, this ought to happen.

      Do it, crash the economy further and piss off all three major carriers at once. Right before what is supposed to be a huge international event. Shit idea (from Miller) presented by a plumber.

      Oh look, page 35 of the abusive spouse playbook :/ „lock them in the house“. Right after „15 ways to isolate them from their friends and family“

      The headline should read: „Trump team conspiring to attack the airline industry, disrupt legitimate travel, and impose logistical problems delivering air freight to American cities.“

      >The Homeland Security chief singled out Democrats in [Newark, New Jersey, due to recent clashes](https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/delaney-hall-ice-protest-hunger-strike-b2983980.html) between law enforcement and protesters at Delaney Hall, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center. Other sanctuary cities—which limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities— whose airports could be impacted by the plans include Boston, Denver, Philadelphia, Chicago, **Los Angeles**, **New York City**, **Seattle and San Francisco**.

      So….stopping international flights to literally the four biggest international flight destinations in the country. The Trump admin really does wanna wreck the economy.

      “15 min cities means they want to prevent us from traveling!?!” – maga chuds

      Most cities are Democratic so maybe > 95% of air traffic will be on the chopping block, which is absurd.

    17. RetireWithRyan on

      Would be easier to do if the cities people wanted to visit were in red states.

      Honestly this is kind of brilliant. By brilliant I mean evil and fucking stupid.

      They’d be imposing jet fuel demand destruction / fuel rationing to address the impending shortage they created by calling it a crackdown on illegal immigration.

      They really have Homelander levels of pettiness.
      I really hope they realise what is coming for them.
      Villification.

    22. QushingFleens on

      This is a test balloon, they won’t go thru with this. They probably want airlines to assist with something so they lead with the threats. It’s all this fuckhead admin knows how to do, threaten, withhold. Until shit blows up and they backtrack.

    23. epochwin on

      Does he mean cities in states with democratic majorities? Because most cities especially economic powerhouses are mostly Democratic. Including Texas, Florida, Georgia, the DMV area.

    24. phoenix823 on

      Do it. Fuck with the people coming for the World Cup. I dare you. I double fucking dare you.

    26. Available-Trouble648 on

      Oh great, more moves to cripple the economy. Fucking genius idea guys.

    27. SomeAstronomer1170 on

      The concept of unintended consequences is completely lost on these dopes.

    28. tripping_on_phonics on

      Preventing escape?

      Also virtually every city is Democratic, so “Democratic cities” just means “all cities”.

    29. sxyaustincpl on

      Cities are all Democratic, because that’s where educated, intelligence people live and work

      And educated, intelligent people aren’t Republicans

    30. Delicious_Ad9844 on

      Democratic cities, a.k.a just about any economically productive city

    31. DFu4ever on

      Let’s call it like it is…

      The Republican Party is doing this. Let’s stop normalizing headlines that say “Trump does this”, and start addressing the reality that these are the actions of the Republican Party.

      If they didn’t approve of what Trump is doing, they could stop it. They choose not to, thus they approve.

      Fuck all of these pieces of shit.

      Religious conservatives love playing corrupt identity politics and personal vendettas over the best interests of the country.

    35. FluffyAssistant7107 on

      Not only would it crash the economy, it would completely overwhelm the airports. ATL is supposedly the largest airport in the world and it’s already a complete shit show on a normal day. Smaller airports aren’t remotely prepared for the massive influx of cargo and passengers constantly flying in and out of the U.S.

    37. LinkLT3 on

      “Democratic cities” oh the only parts of the country international tourists are interested in? Brilliant idea

    38. squeakycleaned on

      Perfect, shut down international flights out of all the major transportation hubs in the US, and then host the World Cup. What could go wrong?

    39. eyeQ on

      you mean all the cities that people actually want to travel to? lmao get fucked.

    42. NarwhalesAwesome on

      Republicans know they can’t win anything without bribing or cheating

    43. tccomplete on

      If they stop providing taxpayer funded services, taxpaying should be reduced or ignored.

    45. JGRummo on

      Hahahahaha go ahead! What a bunch of dumbasses. World Cup coming and tons of business lost by major flight/shipping companies. They’ll chicken out in the end
