Where in the world is Donald Trump?
The FAA called a groundstop to all flying in the United States at around 4pm. It wasn’t lifted until 8pm.
Every TV Network switched to the story, from cable to broadcast. It was deemed an emergency by the FAA.
But Trump has still made no comment about it at 12:30am. His last two post were around 6pm. One was about the Coast Guard helping out in the boat crash in New Orleans.
The second was about saving Hollywood. That post is very odd because it says he was working with a bunch of senators including Adam Schiff. Trump never misses an opportunity to denigrate Schiff, but this time…nothing. And there were no posts between 4pm and 6pm.
Trump posts to social media often about nothing. He calls into Fox News and other conservative outlets at the drop of a hat. But tonight, in the middle of an emergency no one could predict the outcome of, he vanished. And remains vanished.
Trump isn’t alone. There also hasn’t been a peep out of Vice President JD Vance. Not a word.
Also curious was that for the first two hours or so last night, the only government official who responded was Homeland Security’s Markwayne Mullin. Until around 6pm there was no mention of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. It was all left in Mullin’s lap.
But where is/was Trump? Now that the groundstop is over, you’d think he’d be crowing about saving the day — and blaming Joe Biden for the breakdown in communications. But again, crickets.
Again, look at that Hollywood post. He mentions all his enemies– Schiff, Durbin, Warnock, Warner — without any ad hominem attacks, a number of Democrats whom he’d usually deride.
Something is very wrong.
PS There’s also no mention of the FAA calamity on the White House website. FYI.
