Trump's actions starting to show its negatives, with Spirit Airlines closing

[Luckyone]

Spirit Airlines closed as of today (5/2/2026). The reasons cited for the closure (failure of the Airline are as follows:

Spirit Airlines' failure can be attributed to a combination of factors:

• Financial Struggles: The airline faced significant financial challenges, including rising jet fuel prices and a failed merger attempt.
  
  2
• Bailout Deal Failure: Spirit was unable to secure a bailout deal from the Trump administration, which was crucial for its survival.
  
  2
• Market Challenges: The airline struggled with shifting consumer tastes, surging competition, and the need to reduce service in response to the pandemic.
• 
  
  As stated many times since Trump took office, the negatives of his actions are to be seen slowly but surely. Here is a good example. I am sure more of this is coming (to be seen over the next few months).

We can expect another 2 or 3 more crises before the pedo's term is over that he'll completely fail to manage. His 1st Presidency ended in economic disaster and countless dead Americans, and his 2nd isn't looking much better.

I wouldn't bail out spirit. They really do suck. Good riddance.

You mean to say that higher jet fuel prices (due to Trump’s war with Iran) did not contribute to spirit airlines going out of business?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Perhaps Sleepy Joe shouldn't have blocked the Spirit -Jet Blue merger

Hmmmm?

Liberals Showed Their Spirit When They Killed an Airline

Spirit Airlines ceased operations after Biden DOJ blocked its merger, causing job losses and higher fares.

Well that might be one way to spin it. However during the Biden years as the above article points out with DIRECT words from Elizabeth Warren...

They were flying in the danger zone before Trump came back.

That's why they were looking for a merger.
