President Donald Trump suggested on March 25 that he may deploy the National Guard to assist at airports nationwide as Transportation Security Administration (TSA) lines continue to grow.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump criticized Democrats for what he called a “mess” at U.S. airports, claiming they want the country “to do badly” and “fail.”
