In an interview with ABC’s “This Week,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said that Democrats view the long lines as “leverage” for their demands of change.
“Democrats want to see long lines at airports as leverage. President Trump’s trying to take that leverage away and not make the American people suffer,” Duffy said.
This strategy doesn’t make sense to me. Wouldn’t Trump want disruption to blame on congressional democrats? Or is the assumption the American people will always blame the president?
I would think if they’re able to keep government functions going without funding DHS then it will just prove to people that there was never any need to fund it.
Also, it’s the republicans who refuse to split the TSA funding out and approve it, because then they’re in a weaker position to push through funding for their nazi shit.

This is Trump demonstrating that he has his own police force that he can deploy to any situation he pleases.
