✈️ “This Is What President Trump Does”

Markwayne Mullin: “This is what the leadership of President Trump looks like” https://t.co/NOtHhy0Qbd

That explains the election results.

Khanna: I don't understand why they're not just in front of the cameras holding a press conference, trying to explain to the American people what's going on https://t.co/JzfqFBsca3

I think we’re about to find out.

CNN’s Pete Muntean: The latest we are hearing now from airlines is that many airports are nearing ground saturation meaning they're running out of gates, space to put all of these airplanes https://t.co/ijHixetBbQ

Let’s see if Mullin or Duffy address that.

Mullin: There is no connection between this and Microsoft. So far what we've seen is there is actually no cyber attack https://t.co/lQpUClG7H9

— Acyn (@Acyn) November 14, 2026

Not an explanation of what did happen.

Mullin: So right now things SEEM to be working, as we can say, in the right direction https://t.co/uYNCNmUA0E

"Let be be finale of seem."

President Trump told FOX the ground stop does not seem to be a cyber attack and that nobody has taken credit for a cyber attack. He says this seems to an old issue with old broken stuff. https://t.co/QEbaoIHY9b

"The only emperor is the emperor of ice cream.”🍦 

Mullin: The public was never at danger through this process. There was never any lives at risk. All your loved ones are safe. We are working to resolve the issue, and we hope to have operations up and going normal at some point. https://t.co/bMBq1vzH7c

This is what the leadership of President Trump looks like.

DUFFY blames Congress: So what happened? Right? What we have is an incredibly old air traffic control system. The president, for the last year has been asking congress to fully fund a full build of a brand new air traffic control system. Give us the money to fix it. https://t.co/mnlCVISp7B

— Acyn (@Acyn) November 14, 2026

They did. According to the CBO, you spent it incompetently, rushed complicated work, only addressed the communications system, and tore that out before the new was in place. In other words: reflecting pool redux.

DUFFY ON GROUND STOP: The president has asked for $30 billion. I want $50 billion. Congress wastes a lot of money. Let's get the money so we never have to come at 830 at night and have a press conference on why air travel was shut down https://t.co/TWZigdoFJ6

— Acyn (@Acyn) November 14, 2026

First, let’s get some competence in DOT. Because all you’re talking about is throwing money at the problem.

MULLIN: We've seen zero evidence that this was cyber attack or SI attack. DOOCY: Then it must be something else. What is the other thing? What caused the instability? DUFFY: We have old switches, old routers. It's an old system that went down and went down everywhere. It got overloaded. I don't want to rule out that we didn't have nefarious activity here.

WOW MULLIN SAYS THE UPGRADES DUFFY PUT IN CAUSED THE OUTAGE “The new technology was overwhelming the older system” https://t.co/GG6oW7CnVF

👍

Duffy: So I would encourage football teams to reach out to the FAA to schedule their flight times and make sure they can move to make sure we have games going off tomorrow. https://t.co/aVEXriWnMo

— Acyn (@Acyn) November 14, 2026

The important stuff.

Q: Can you say with 100% certainty that this was not caused by a cyber attack or a rogue AI? MULLIN: There's nothing completely certain right now… https://t.co/j410byBIty

— Acyn (@Acyn) November 14, 2026

So we don’t know what happened, we don’t know what fixed it, and we don’t know that it won’t happen again. We do know it’s Congress’ fault, because Duffy came out of hiding to say so.

Sean Duffy says the air traffic control system will “continue to fail” https://t.co/cQ6l1uXBpr

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) November 14, 2026

So:

Sean Duffy gets mad when a reporter asks him why the administration and Republicans haven’t taken control of the air traffic control issue at some point over the two years they’ve had total control of the government https://t.co/SSIHCRwtmi

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) November 14, 2026

And then it gets better:

Duffy: Is the same thing going to happen again? I don’t know Radel: Did this have to do with the AI program? https://t.co/UYFkBJAx3E

— Acyn (@Acyn) November 14, 2026

He doesn’t know that, either.

Good job, guys. The system is so fragile this could happen again; maybe during Thanksgiving week. And there’s still the problem of getting the entire system working smoothly again. With all those planes piled up at airports, I think that’s going to be a new problem.

Good job, guys!! Country reassured. 👍

That the people in charge are boneheads….:

Indeed we don’t.

Tomorrow, they blame Biden.
