"You're right Controller123, there is another plane already on runway 2 where I just instructed BoeingXYZ to land. Thanks for catching that. Do you want me to notify the airport fire crews, provide you with a list of air disasters or calculate the potential death toll of the current situation."

It's to do with determining how many planes are permitted into a piece of airspace. Not the separation of those aircraft once in said airspace. I'll reserve judgment. Not easy cuz the buffoons at tRUmp an CO. are just posers and grifters.
