Huh? What are you talking about? That’s not a statement trusting Trump. The headline implies the flights were rejected. They weren’t. Drink more coffee dude. It’s Trump’s propaganda that they were rejected.
After he got what he wanted from Trump, who capitulated immediately because the threat to tarrif Columbian imports was a bluff. Deliberately bumping the cost of coffee would be political suicide.
The fascism persists only because it promises to be of benefit to its supporters.
Fascism falls apart when it fails to deliver them tangible benefits.
Trump’s coalition is a house divided, he cannot provide his billionaire sycophants with economic benefits without taking them away from his voting base, and he can’t do economic populism without disadvantaging the billionaires.
We’re already seeing this with the H1-B visa debate. Musk, Zuckerberg, and Thiel want them for the cheap exploitable labor, and non-rich Republicans want the program to end for both anti-immigrant and economic nationalism reasons.
If the Democrats were allowed to be competent then they’d be hammering on this contradiction 'til the Republicans lose all their electoral relevance, but they won’t because they’re faced with the same contradiction among their own supporters.
The citizens will still be mistreated. Why are you just blindly trusting Trump here?

The flights were originally rejected. He even put out a statement on it. Then he backtracked.

Buddy, this is fascism. Political suicide isn’t a thing anymore.
