Trump says he will help struggling U.S. airlines - Reuters


“We’ll be helping the airlines. You have to help the airlines,” Trump told reporters before departing on a visit to Kenosha, Wisconsin. Airlines are a tough business in good times.


What? The airline industry has been recording record profits for the last few years!

Yeah, spend hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money on the airlines only to have customers treated like crap. We’ve been down this road before. I’d at least like independent established passenger rights groups to participate in negotiations with airlines before they get one additional penny of public money. I want the agreements to be legally binding and penalties to be appropriately significant.

I'd be interested to see the dollar amounts the major airlines have donated to the Trump campaign.

Trump is transactional. He doesn't do anything unless it's to his personal benefit first and foremost.
