US EditionTrump Blasts Democrats: ‘They’re Kamikazes Right Now’ Amid Government Shutdown
Nearly 700,000 federal employees furloughed as President Trump uses the shutdown to expand executive control over funding and back pay decisions, sources say.
- On Sunday, MSNBC's Jake Taylor said White House insiders report President Donald Trump is `leaning in` to the shutdown because `the president is relishing in this moment`.
- Earlier this month the deadlock began on October 1 and this was the 10th attempt to pass funding after another Senate vote failed on Friday, October 17, with Republicans demanding an extension of subsidies introduced under Joe Biden.
- Nearly 700,000 federal employees have been furloughed while only essential workers continue without pay, and Jake Taylor said Trump sought to control back pay and ensured military members were paid.
- Privately, Taylor reported ongoing talks between Republicans and White House officials, but `But publicly, they're not saying that. And they're continuing to say until the government is back open, we're not even going to have the discussion.`
- The shutdown has morphed into a political standoff, resembling a game of poker as Democrats and Republicans both believe they hold the winning hand while Democrats use their single bargaining chip.
