Duffy’s full of it. Pete Buttigieg and Dems pushed to modernize our air traffic control system under Biden—Republicans in Congress blocked it. The Trump administration’s been too busy blaming DEI instead of fixing the real problems.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?
