California Governor Gavin Newsom has slammed Donald Trump as travelers in Los Angeles brace for chaos and major delays to flights due to the government shutdown.
The Federal Aviation Authority on Monday warned air traffic control towers at Hollywood Burbank Airport would be unmanned until at least 10pm local time.
Newsom blamed the lack of staffing on the government shutdown and hammered Trump on X.
'Thanks, @realDonaldTrump! Burbank Airport has ZERO air traffic controllers from 4:15pm to 10pm today because of YOUR government shutdown,' the California governor wrote.
The White House, when asked for comment by The Daily Mail, sent an automatic reply putting responsibility for the shutdown on Democrats.
'Due to staff shortages resulting from the Democrat Shutdown, the typical 24/7 monitoring of this press inbox may experience delays,' it read.
'As you await a response, please remember this could have been avoided if the Democrats voted for the clean Continuing Resolution to keep the government open.'
Without on-site air traffic controllers, the airport's arrivals and departures will be managed by TRACON, a team working out of San Diego which already handles much of Burbank's traffic.

I voted for this.
I’d pull them out of LAX and SFO too.
Tell it to Schumer.
Bold
To be on the safe side... Just shut down all the airports in California.
Hey, Gav, you need to take that up with Shumer.
Perfect tan, perfect tress, perfect teeth. He is perfect.
Well Gavin — pick up the phone and call Schumer. This is Schumer’s mess.
He needs to ask his buddies: What is more important, healthcare for illegals and money for NPR, or air traffic controllers?
Oh, wait. they already answered that question.
And that is a damn creepy gif.
Possible explanations: tardive dyskinesia, maybe a complex tic. Possible side effects of antipsychotic drug, or epilepsy.
His movements are abnormal. The fact that he could talk at the same time, and did not change his body movement could indicate involuntary muscle contractions beyond his conscious control. Not surprising considering his continuous ability to fail as a manager.
IMHO.
It’s the Democrat shutdown, moron.
Guy Needs either a high five to the face with a chair, or a single taser shot to the ass.
Yeah, taser.
Do sombreros come with cowbells?
If Gavin were to rage at the 6 ‘rat senators from the left coast instead, he might change enough of their shutdown votes to make a difference in FedGov’s operations.
Yes! Newscum won’t be able to get his regular drug deliveries with closed airports.
Like I said, these evil democrat governors and their paid terrorist armies have started a civil war in America AGAIN. They’ve seceded from the republic and are provoking attacks on federal law enforcement, citizens, politicians and people trying to report from their cities. Their followers have been behind assassination attempts, shootings and killings.
It’s time to send in the army and arrest these governors and their terrorist armies.
Newscum doesn’t have a rectum. His rectum has him.
Planes pollute. Close the airports Newscum.

Easier is just cocaine and pot.
