This is going to end up like the deal to buy Greenland. He’ll get a lot of press time, get the opportunity to beat his chest and try to score political points, but nothing will actually happen. Remove potential political gains from the equation and there’s no financial reason to do this. He knows that it probably won’t get past Congress so he’s just putting the illusion out there. If it comes to liquidation he’ll say that he tried to save the airline that Biden destroyed and claim victory.
