Trump blames Democrats as US government shutdown continues
US President Donald Trump has accused Senate Democrats of causing the ongoing government shutdown, now in its 31st day. In remarks from Florida, he labeled Democrats "crazed lunatics" and stated he would only meet with them if they first agree to "open up the country."
The partial shutdown of the US government, now the second-longest in the nation's history, entered its 31st day with President Donald Trump squarely blaming Democratic lawmakers for the impasse. The political stalemate, which began on October 1st, continues as both sides remain deadlocked over federal spending priorities.
A Volatile Accusation in Florida
Speaking to reporters in Florida, President Trump escalated his rhetoric against the opposition. "The shutdown proceeds because the Democrats just don't know what they’re doing," he stated. "They've become crazed lunatics." While expressing a willingness to negotiate, he set a firm precondition, saying, "I'm always willing to meet; all they have to do is open up the country. Let them open up the country and we'll meet."
Legislative Deadlock on Capitol Hill
The political gridlock was further illustrated in the Senate, where a Republican-backed funding bill failed to advance for the 13th time, falling short of the required 60 votes. President Trump asserted that "everything is their fault," and claimed Republicans are "very unified." The Republican strategy currently hinges on convincing a handful of Democrats to cross party lines and support their proposal to end the government shutdown.
