The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Trump dismisses financial concerns of air traffic controllers working without pay for more than 40 days

The president, whose staff explored ways to skirt a law requiring backpay for federal workers after the shutdown ends, insisted "they all knew the money is coming."

More Trump madness as he urges any controllers who took sick time during the shutdown to quit. Imagine the impact that would have on a system that is already having to reduce traffic this week. Fortunately, very few people take anything this man says seriously. www.newsweek.com/faa-flight-d...

Trump threatens air traffic controllers, offers "patriots" $10K bonus

Thousands of flights have been canceled as a consequence of the federal government shutdown.

Now we have Trump blasting air traffic controllers, telling them they hate this country for not showing up without pay.

"I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK... You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind, against your record."
