So FOTUS and his merry band of grifters have decided Delta and Aeromexico can’t play nice in the skies anymore. “Anticompetitive effects,” they say. Oh sure, because suddenly THIS administration gives a shit about monopolies. Yeah, right. These people couldn’t spell “antitrust” if you spotted them the fucking vowels.

Let’s be honest: this isn’t about protecting consumers. This is about punishing Mexico. Every time Trump’s poll numbers sag like his golf pants after a buffet, he needs a scapegoat south of the border. So boom—bust up Aeromexico’s partnership, jack up their costs, cut their routes, and strut around yelling, “See? I told you I’d be tough on Mexico!” It’s foreign policy as middle school food fight.

And while we’re at it—who gets the win? American Airlines and United. Big donors, deep pockets, MAGA-friendly execs. Delta, on the other hand, has spoken out about voting rights, immigration, Georgia laws. You think Trump forgot? Oh no. This is a big, fat revenge fuck-you with wings. A personal grudge dressed up in a DOT press release.

Meanwhile, the rest of us? Higher ticket prices, fewer flights, more chaos at the gate. Which, by the way, is the MAGA business model: create chaos, profit from the cleanup. Trump’s pals in private jets, fuel brokers, charter companies—they’re popping champagne while you’re stuck on a layover in Houston wondering why your “direct flight” to Cancun now requires three connections and a handcart.

And the nationalist theater? Chef’s kiss. “We’re protecting American consumers from unfair foreign influence!” Yeah, by kneecapping an AMERICAN airline, Delta. You know, the one based in ATLANTA. But as long as Fox runs a chyron saying “Trump Crushes Mexico,” the base will eat it up like expired peanuts.

Let’s call it what it is: this isn’t about fair skies. It’s about fixing the skies for Trump’s cronies. It’s about punishing companies who don’t kiss the ring. It’s about making travel miserable so private aviation buddies can cash in. And it’s about giving Trump one more shiny distraction while his whole administration nosedives into corruption.

The only “anticompetitive effect” here is Trump competing with himself to see how much damage he can cause before he crashes the whole damn country into the ground.
