Late Night Lambasts Trump's Plan to Buy Spirit Airlines: "He's the Spirit Airlines of Presidents!" - LateNight



The Trump administration is reportedly advancing a rescue package for Spirit Airlines — potentially owning 90% of the struggling budget carrier.

The same man who ran Trump Airlines into the ground is investing $500 million into the airline where "every seat is a middle seat."

Kimmel, Meyers & Colbert had thoughts. A lot of them.

"Donald Trump is, in many ways, the Spirit Airlines of presidents."
