Trump pressures air traffic controllers to 'get back to work, NOW!!!'

[mystery-ak]

President Donald Trump on Monday pressured air traffic controllers to return to work amid the ongoing government shutdown or else be “substantially docked."

“All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesn’t will be substantially ‘docked,’” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform.

“For those Air Traffic Controllers who were GREAT PATRIOTS, and didn’t take ANY TIME OFF for the ‘Democrat Shutdown Hoax,’ I will be recommending a BONUS of $10,000 per person for distinguished service to our Country,” the president’s post read.

Trump then scolded those who stopped showing up for work.

“For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU,” read the post. “You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK that was only meant to hurt our Country.”

Trump threatened to replace them with “true Patriots” and “NO payment or severance of any kind” should they leave service in the “near future.”

Trump again thanked the air traffic controllers who have showed up throughout the shutdown, saying, “I won’t be able to send your money fast enough!”

Monday marked the first time in history that air traffic controllers went two pay periods receiving zero-dollar paychecks.

Excerpt:
You have to hand it to President Trump—he doesn’t mince words when it comes to getting the country back on track, and his latest Truth Social post to air traffic controllers during the Schumer Shutdown is a case in point. With day 40 of this Democrat-engineered mess hitting hard, Trump demanded they return to work immediately, warning that anyone who doesn’t will face docked pay. “All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesn’t will be substantially ‘docked,’” he wrote, adding a $10,000 bonus recommendation for those who toughed it out without pay during the “Democrat Shutdown Hoax.”




Remember, the government creates nothing. They only take.  If the government had to compete, who would go to them?
Power has the ability to corrupt the best.  That's why it was to be limited government, but the government limits the public instead?

Folks, THIS is the way to do it.

For those who stayed at their posts, even without pay... a reward.

For those who shirked... well, I guess they'll still get to keep their jobs.
