President Donald Trump claimed that the airline industry is in 'good shape,' having been 'saved' by his administration, despite industry experts claiming otherwise.

President Donald Trump has claimed that the U.S. airline industry is in"good shape" amid the COVID-19 pandemic, despite the industry sustaining massive financial losses and receiving 98 percent fewer bookings than last year.

Trump made the remarks when concluding a meeting with Colorado Governor Jared Polis and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum on Wednesday. The president suggested the industry was doing well when asked how Americans who may be reluctant to fly due to risks posed by the virus could increase their confidence to take to the skies.

"They have great confidence," Trump insisted."They have great confidence in us, and they have great confidence in the airlines. We've saved the airlines with 25 billion dollars and another 25 billion dollars and we have airlines that are now in good shape." "I mean, obviously they're going to pick up with the fares and with the seats," added Trump."But the airline industry is in good shape. We've been able to save the airline industry... so they're in good shape."

98% drop, yeah REALLY “good shape”.

He's really owning his fans with this one.

Has nothing to do with the bailouts

Sounds like solid tRump business practices!🤡💩🤡💩🤡

Completely delusional!

Tubby is clueless...

airlines are in as good shape as he is. Financial wise, physical wise mental wise

Another bald-faced lie.

What? His lies becoming too transparent...!

The man is an optimist...

Delusional realDonaldTrump can’t even think if he’s still alive in the real world!

Probably because the guy who was screaming about the evils of socialism when Bernie was leading is happy to send taxpayer $$$ to them for as long as they want it.

Trump thinks he’s a brilliant businessman despite losing 98% of his businesses. So.

In the UK, a “Trump” is a fart, or blow off. It’s when you expel gut gases, from your colon, via your anus. I do hope this helps.

Can someone correct this moron?

Psychopotus

And Bugs Bunny says “What a Maroon!”
