This started under the Obama admin, and the towers have been understaffed for a very long time. It’s only now that there was an incident. This could’ve easily have happened two weeks ago, but it didn’t.

Maybe Trump shouldn’t have made it worse then…

Maybe he fired him because he was creating dangerous problems like chronic understaffing?

The issue actually goes back to Reagan. The professional air traffic controllers organization (PATCO) went on strike in 1981 because of understaffing, long hours, poor working conditions and low pay.
Reagan fired them all and achieved two results: 1. set the precident that understaffing, long hours, poor working conditions and low pay were just fine for American air safety, and 2. started the long grind of devaluing skilled labor and erosion of workers rights in this country. We are experiencing the cascading consequences today.
