Since then, it's been updated to, "Good Leads the Way," which has nothing to do with flying and sucks as a slogan.
One thing is for certain; the skies are not so friendly these days as air traffic controllers lose contact with pilots in what's becoming a common occurrence in American aviation recently. Newark Airport's problems, like losing radar for short periods of time are terrifying to say the least. It turns out that United Airlines is bearing the brunt of Newark airport's chaos.
The issue at Newark, where nearly 70% of the flights are operated by United, has been financially disastrous for the company as cancellations and delays have taken a heavy toll. The summer travel season, typically the industry's most profitable period, is fast approaching.
The blow comes as the industry grapples with slowing travel demand following the economic fallout of Trump's ridiculous trade war.
The Qatari royal family plans on giving Trump his very own palace in the sky (worth about $400m).
This "gift" is a blatant violation of the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution that prohibits officials from accepting gifts, emoluments, office, or titles from foreign government without the consent of Congress.
Trump doesn't care what anyone thinks. He wants a new fancy airplane to increase his profile as a dictator. Some of his minions are trying to make the bribe look like a legitimate offering by suggesting the airplane is being donated to Defense Department and will eventually go to the Donald J. Trump Library. Three guesses who could then fly in it anytime he wanted to.
I have to admit I'm surprised that some of Trump's biggest supporters have serious reservations about the deal. MAGA influencers have described the move as a "bribe," grift, or an example of the high-level corruption that Trump himself has consistently promised to root out.
Anyone who thinks Qatar is giving Trump a $400m jet out of the goodness of their sweet little hearts is wrong, according to conservative commentator Ben Shapiro during a recent podcast. Even MAGA nut Laura Loomer criticized the move, calling it "a stain" and posted a cartoon of the Trojan Horse, redrawn as a plane and filled with armed Islamist militants.
Apparently, Trump's memory is pretty poor because he accused Qatar of being "a terrorist state" during his first stint in the White House. Funny how things can change when the bribe is big enough.
As it Stands, I had to laugh when Trump's Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recently told reporters that "this administration is committed to transparency." In the real-world Trump's regime is about as transparent as a triple thick brick wall.
