Possible but probably not. ATC have been understaffed and overworked for years and this is the inevitable result.
Combine that with a military that has historically always done whatever the fuck it… err, support the troops and thank you for your service. Can I have my salmon tossed under the broiler please?
But yeah. This is less a consequence of trump and more a consequence of our fundamentally broken culture and government that predates him.
This is going to have very big ramifications even medium term. But the work culture and lack of personnel were already a major problem long before… last week. At most, trump accelerated this.
Now, the horrific response to this is all fuckface.
As an aside: it is REALLY obnoxious to post two giant images as a reply.

How many air traffic controllers recieved Elon’s buyout email?
Ya, it’s obviously DEI like Trump is saying.
I’mma let you in on a secret:
The CEO doesn’t do shit. ANYWHERE.
