""All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesn't will be substantially 'docked.' ... For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn't step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK that was only meant to hurt our country.""
""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.""
""We had a guy named Buttigieg," Trump said. "Boot-edge-edge, they say, is the best way. Just say two edges like off the edge of a cliff, which is where they were taking us, by the way." "Boot-edge-edge was the secretary of Transportation and he spent billions of dollars trying to patch together our air control, our air traffic control system, which was a conglomeration of all different systems and all different cities," he continued. "He spent - they had hundreds of countries, hundreds of companies working on it,""
Donald Trump posted on Truth Social demanding air traffic controllers return to work and threatening that anyone who did not would be substantially docked. He offered $10,000 bonuses for controllers who stayed on the job without pay and said those who did not should leave without severance. He accused the Biden administration of wasting billions on antiquated systems and called the situation a "FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK." Pete Buttigieg responded on X, saying the president would not last five minutes as a controller and had no business criticizing them. At the White House, Trump mocked Buttigieg's name and reiterated criticism of his handling of air-traffic modernization.
