It isn't because there might have been an error in the Reagan Airport tower, it is because the Oval Office lunatic wants to cut more federal jobs in his plan to destroy the U.S. government.

“The way to greater American prosperity is encouraging people to move from lower productivity jobs in the public sector to higher productivity jobs in the private sector.”

"The late Thursday night email follows up on an earlier one which offered federal workers other incentives to abandon their job security, such as eight months of pay if they obliged by Feb. 6."
Trump did not respond to requests for comments.
