Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy slammed the Biden administration’s neglect of America’s crumbling air traffic control system, comparing its outdated equipment to “something from the Smithsonian.” On Fox News, Duffy revealed President Trump’s bold plan to replace the ancient system with modern technology that prioritizes safety and efficiency. He vowed to end the delays and chaos caused by decades of failed Democratic leadership.
The Trump administration’s new plan will build a state-of-the-art system from scratch, cutting through the bureaucracy that stalled progress under Biden. Duffy emphasized that this isn’t just an upgrade – it’s a total overhaul to make American skies the safest in the world. He blasted Pete Buttigieg, Biden’s former Transportation Secretary, for doing “absolutely nothing” to fix the problem during his four years in office.
Duffy didn’t hold back, calling out Buttigieg for focusing on “woke nonsense” instead of critical infrastructure. He reminded viewers that Trump officials have achieved more in 100 days than Biden’s team did in four years. The contrast is clear: Republicans fix problems while Democrats ignore them. This is about putting America first, not political correctness.
President Trump himself called Buttigieg a “total disaster” who left his own city in ruins before failing the entire country. Duffy echoed this, saying Buttigieg’s only talent was “delivering empty speeches.” Now free from government work, Buttigieg still hasn’t mentioned transportation issues – proof he never cared about real solutions.
The outdated system isn’t just inconvenient – it’s dangerous. Duffy warned that American lives are at risk every day we keep using equipment from the last century. While coastal elites fly private jets, hardworking families endure canceled flights and safety risks due to liberal incompetence. Trump’s plan puts regular Americans first.
A broad coalition of aviation experts and workers backs Trump’s emergency overhaul, something unseen in modern history. Duffy credits this unity to President Trump’s ability to cut through red tape and special interests. Democrats had their chance – now it’s time for real leadership.
The administration is moving fast, with $550 million already allocated for infrastructure projects like the Bayway initiative. Every dollar goes toward rebuilding America, not funding radical climate schemes. Duffy promised to keep dismantling the Green New Deal’s harmful policies that hurt our economy.
This is more than an infrastructure project – it’s a patriotic mission to restore American greatness. Under Trump, we’re not just patching potholes. We’re proving that strong leadership can fix problems others considered impossible. The days of excuses are over. America is building again.
