This week the United States suffered a massive breakdown in its air traffic systems that resulted in a the grounding of all departing flights across the nation. This sort of transportation disruption produces tremendous losses in business activity, as well the personal affairs of every American.

The agency heads reporting to Donald Trump delayed any public commentary about it for hours. Then eventually came out and declared that it was likely an equipment malfunction that was somehow Joe Biden’s fault. And naturally, Trump was laser focused on what really matters…

On Sunday Trump’s Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, was making his usual morning rounds on Fox News where he gave his customary rosy scenario reports on the economy that, according to Bessent and Trump, is the best in the history of mankind. In the process Bessent revealed some details about the progress of Trump’s reckless and illegal war against Iran…
“Can you imagine that they’re not gonna have enough gas because of their creaking infrastructure? And all of the money that the IRGC has stolen that they’re gonna have gas shortages for home heating. They already have gasoline lines, three, four hours. And we have them completely isolated. We have an airline quarantine, and my message has been if the Iranian regime loves their country, then, great. They’re stuck there. They can’t fly.”
Bessent: "We have them completely isolated. We have an airline quarantine, and my message has been if the Iranian regime loves their country, then, great. They're stuck there. They can't fly."
SERIOUSLY? What Bessent chose to feature were two problems that Iran is currently having to deal with. Let’s take a look at Bessent’s observances one at a time.
First of all, Bessent is giddy about Iran having availability issues with gas. Although he appears to be oblivious to the fact that the U.S. is similarly burdened with unusually high gas prices. Which, by the way, is due to the war that Trump is waging against Iran. So both nations are having trouble fueling their cars and home heating.
Secondly, Bessent boasts that the U.S. has Iran “completely isolated” because they are unable to fly. Which is an odd thing for him to bring up during the weekend when every American plane was grounded allegedly due to our own “creaking infrastructure.” So both nations citizens are stuck because they are unable to fly.
That’s some fancy messaging footwork by Trump’s top economics advisor. He is telling Fox’s already gullible viewers that Iran is essentially a basket case. However, the impact of his message gets somewhat diluted when the problems he’s citing for Iran are the same problems that Americans are enduring.
What’s more, the hardships that Bessent is personally suffering are considerable and unmentioned. He was recently moved to a military base following alleged death threats from Iran. He joins Attorney General Todd Blanche, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, who are all isolated in military housing. Kind of like a MAGA frat house where they can play Pictionary between Fox News hits.
As for Trump, he hasn’t been seen in public in 5 days. This absence is creating more speculation about his health and/or emotional state. For most of that time he didn’t even post a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, about the air traffic crisis. When he finally got around to it, it was just to blame it on Biden and to beg for money from his own Republican controlled Congress.
On Sunday morning Trump posted another typically vague and totally believable (?) comment stating that “I am in the White House having meetings on many subjects.” He doesn’t say who he was meeting with or what the meetings were about. But according to White House press pool reports, for at least part of the day he was at his golf club in Sterling, Virginia, not at the White House in meetings.
Trump hasn't been seen in public in 5 days. Is he sick, or brooding after his election losses?He just posted a comment saying "I am in the White House having meetings on many subjects."Does anyone believe that? Meetings with who? About what? His ballroom, arch, golf course?
