MINNEAPOLIS — Airlines canceled 23 flights to Minneapolis and delayed 47 others on the first day of a Trump ordered lowdown in service to major cities. The order was to phase in a 10% cut in scheduled flights, ostensibly for safety concerns due to a shortage of air traffic controllers. The shortage, however, was Trump ‘s own doing. He created a federal budget crisis that ended salaries for federal employee in the national aviation infrastructure. It was the latest installment in a Trump scheme to build public pressure on Congress to endorse his plan to re-order American economic and social structures.
