Are you kidding me? Not only did drumpf shut down an airport, he had them lie about it

Had them blame it on thunderstorms. If Biden had dome something like this, the media would be calling it "soccer-gate" and have live round the clock coverage for weeks.........

very interesting thing just happened: EWR had a complete ground stop due to “thunderstorms” despite no storms in a 200 mile radius. The only flight to leave from EWR in that window? Air Force One.

sure looks like Donald Trump just shut down EWR for 4 hours so he could watch a soccer game!

Trump flew into EWR and all flights were halted for two-three hours. I think it was Friday, June 20.

He should personally oversee Trump's landing and takeoff out of EWR.

“Due to WEATHER / THUNDERSTORMS, there is a Traffic Management Program in effect for traffic arriving Newark International Airport, Newark, NJ (EWR). This is causing some arriving flights to be delayed an average of 4 hours and 18 minutes. To see if you may be affected, select your departure airport and check "Delays by Destination".

Why didn't he just whip out his Sharpie pen and change the weather map to suit his travel plans?

🔥🔥🔥 VIDEO GOING VIRAL showing FUCKHEAD Trump jumping into the shot with the cup AND REFUSING to leave.

Check out how hard the guy tries to get him out of there.

This is really pathetic.

What an embarrassment to the world, and must be 86’d from power ASAP!!!
