This is just more corporate welfare fascism. I think the general public is quite tired of either party bailing out large private entities. If Spirit’s business model was a failure, let it fail. It isn’t as if we don’t have other airlines in this country.

of business.” Another deeply held belief sacrificed at the altar of Trump.

It was sloganeering. There's nothing deep about them, especially when it comes to their beliefs.

I don't care what kind of business you're in, you have to cover your direct and indirect expenses or else you go bankrupt.

This is Spirit's second trip into bankruptcy which states the obvious: their fares aren't covering the direct and indirect expenses, let alone providing any profit.

I read the other day that Jet Blue is in pretty bad financial shape, too, most likely from the same problem of having a hard time covering expenses with the fares they're charging people.

The US taxpayer should not have to bail out a company that is not run efficiently !

Fuck helping the American people. Shithole thinks everything belongs to him.

The right answer is "hell no"!

The only thing I can think of here as to why Trump would do this is he wants to use Spirit's planes for deportation flights.

If it were just about deportation flights ICE could merely contract/charter the planes.

Now he wants to bankrupt Spirit. I know they're going bankrupt anyway, but I can't believe Mierda47 could save this airline, so he'll just bankrupt it himself, using our money.

It is a Boeing 727, which is the airliner the Trump Shuttle used.

But for a personal war of choice? Sure.
