President Trump was met with boos over the weekend at the Detroit Lions vs. Washington Commanders football game. The moment quickly went viral, sparking reactions from fans and critics alike. But that wasn’t the end of the headlines surrounding the former president this week.
On Monday, amid the ongoing government shutdown, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to lash out at air traffic controllers who have been calling out of work. He wrote, “All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesn’t will be substantially ‘docked.’”
Trump went on to say he would recommend a $10,000 bonus for those who continued working without pay, calling them “GREAT PATRIOTS.” He criticized others who he claimed “did nothing but complain,” saying he was “NOT HAPPY” with their actions during what he referred to as the “Democrat Shutdown Hoax.”
His remarks have drawn mixed reactions, with supporters praising his tough stance and others accusing him of showing little empathy for workers impacted by the shutdown.
