Fox News Hypes Trump’s INSANE Homeland Security Plan to Halt International Flights to Blue Cities

One thing that has never been in short supply since Donald Trump reoccupied the White House are truly bizarre and boneheaded ideas that forebode catastrophes for America and the American people.

Among Trump’s most boneheaded initiatives are his idiotic and inflationary tariffs, his obsession to build a gold-plated vanity ballroom, his $1.8 billion “weaponization” slush fund to reward violent, criminal seditionists, and his reckless and illegal war against Iran. Which is going about as well as you would imagine for a war run by a wannabe dictator with acute mental impairment.

This week Trump’s Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, provided a brand new notion that stretches the margins of MAGA madness. During a typically friendly “interview” by Sean Hannity on Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda (aka Fox News), Mullin threatened to prohibit all international air travel into the United States from landing in what the DHS has deemed are “sanctuary cities.”

“We are currently drawing up plans to say, listen, in these sanctuary cities where the local radical left Democrats aren’t allowing us to do our job and enforce federal laws, then we shouldn’t be processing international flights into their cities.”

More proof the Trump regime has gone full fascist.Trump's DHS boss thinks government can tell airlines where they can operate based on politics.Prohibiting flights into New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Seattle, etc., will send the national economy into a death spiral.

REALLY? That may be the dumbest of the impressive array of dumbfuckery that the Trump regime has unloaded to date. First of all, it is government intrusion into private enterprise that the airline industry isn’t going to tolerate. Secondly, it is based entirely on political biases that adds a new layer of illegality to a plan that couldn’t pass constitutional muster anyway. Thirdly, it would send the nation into an economic tailspin, causing irreparable harm to every business associated with travel and hospitality. Just what the already faltering economy needs.

Coming just prior to the U.S. hosting the World Cup and the Olympics – and the expected massive influx of world travelers to America – compounds the idiocy of it all. Anyone could see just how ridiculous such an action would be. Well, anyone but the Trump-fluffers in the MAGA media. So how did Fox News respond to this preposterous proposal? By worshipfully embracing it like good cult minions. This is what Harris Faulkner, co-host of Fox’s “Outnumbered” had to say…

“The latest DHS list of current sanctuary cities includes Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco. and along with Newark, all of those airports handle 1,100 international flights per day, carrying around 185,000 passengers.

“Well, they’re not just gonna not fly. They’re gonna go to places where they’re not sanctuary districts. They’re gonna go to red states and cities. And what will that look like? A boon for the red states. And again, people will just hate living in blue states.”

HOLY TOLEDO! Well, not Toledo. That’s a “blue” city. Along with those Faulkner itemized above, and the District of Columbia, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Orlando, Miami, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, New Orleans, Las Vegas, San Diego, and Tucson. In fact, it was difficult to find any major cities with international airports that are “red” cities.

Does Faulkner and Fox News really believe that international travelers are going to be happy to fly into Boise, Jacksonville, Omaha, or Tulsa (all lovely cities), rather than New York, Los Angeles, or Chicago? Would they have to catch limited connecting flights to the destinations that they really want to visit? How would that be a “boon” for red cities, other than to create a lot more work for law enforcement and hospitals due to the intolerable and dangerous traffic jams at their inadequate airports?

The morning after his Hannity appearance, Mullin was back on Fox News reiterating his redlining of blue cities threat. It’s difficult to imagine that they would ever actually go through with it. But it is more proof that these Trumpists never think anything through beyond a preliminary assessment of whether or not their audience is stupid enough to believe them.

Which they don’t really have to worry about because the Fox audience has been brainwashed to the point of having such squeaky clean brains that they will buy whatever they are told by their MAGA masters.
