Trump says he could send National Guard to airports 'for more help'
Source: CNBC
President Donald Trump said hes considering sending the National Guard to U.S. airports, two days after the administration deployed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to several major U.S. airports following hourslong waits for travelers because of the partial government shutdown.
In a Truth Social post Wednesday, Trump blamed Democrats for the shutdown, which began Feb. 14.
Thank you to our great ICE Patriots for helping. It makes a big difference, he wrote in his post. I may call up the National Guard for more help.
More than 11% of TSA officers called out on Wednesday and over 450 have quit since the shutdown started, the Department of Homeland Security said.

(4,183 posts)... congenitally incapable of admitting even the slightest mistake. He belligerently doubles down every time EVERY time he's caught in yet another fuck-up. The fact that TSA employees are struggling make ends meet because his ego-driven refusal to even consider the Democratic plan that Republicans approved to pay these people concerns him not in the slightest. He will lie through his teeth and blame someone else. To him, doing the right thing is for losers. He has always maintained his "Nice guys finish last" attitude toward any and every interaction with other human beings, because, like his father and grandfather before him, HE IS A PSYCHOPATH! He has NO redeeming qualities whatsoever. NONE! As horrible as he was, at least Hitler liked dogs. This fucker not only doesn't like dogs, he doesn't like people who DO like dogs!

It would be an abuse of these troops. They and their families will remember when voting.
