Trump blames Delta for airport chaos!

http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/01/donald-trump-outdoes-himself-blames-delta-for-airport-chaos

There are a couple layers of artistry here to appreciate:

(1) According to Trump, chaos and confusion at airports across the country had nothing to do with his decision to sign a hastily-written executive order Friday afternoon banning thousands of people from entering the country without any warning, Department of Homeland Security consultation, or legal review. No, you see, things would have been totally calm and business-as-usual were it not for those protesters, Senator Chuck Schumer expressing human emotion, and Delta.

(2) That Delta’s computer outage is the real culprit here, even though, as Bloomberg points out, the computer outage at Delta “occurred more than 48 hours after the president’s order and lasted only three hours.”
