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

[struth]

If a temporary increase in oil prices is enough to bankrupt an airline, then it clear wasnt managed well. Blaming this on Trump is childish and naive.

Th airline went bankrupt in 2024

I am so confused.

How did TRUMP make Spirit a not profitable airline?

Review their historical financial data and explain how it is Trump’s fault.

Why is Delta profitable?

Did lefties cry when FUEL WAS HIGH UNDER BIDEN?

More TDS.

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).

You idiots.

And we ain't seen nuthin' yet. The real impact of Trump's insanity will reveal itself in about 2 months.

I sell industrial products to fabricators, construction companies, welding shops, structural steel companies, and related industries. Nearly 50% of the vendors I get my products from are issuing statements to the effect that delivery charges will increase as well as the price of goods. One of the companies that sells rare earth products says they're forced to ration what they sell and that they aren't taking on any new customers.

We're headed for a major, economic catastrophe.

Trump's newest book: "The Art Of The Steal." How to take from the poor and give to the rich.

It had nothing to do with the BILLIONS they lost under Biden, huh Simp?

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

Hmmmm?

Other airlines not far behind.
mergers dont do anything when fuel costs double.

Spirit would have gone broke even if jet fuel was free, you blithering moron.

Spirit lost $1.61 for every $1 it took in — and would still be losing money even if jet fuel was free

The embattled budget carrier ceased operations earlier this month after it failed to secure a $500 million bailout from the Trump administration.
