US EditionGovernment Shutdown: Trump Vows To Cut ‘Very Popular Democrat Programs’ As Shutdown Enters 10th Day
President Trump threatens permanent cuts to programs favored by Democrats to pressure them during a government shutdown now in its ninth day, with 750,000 workers potentially furloughed daily, officials said.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump threatened to slash funding to government programs favored by Democrats, saying "We'll be making cuts that will be permanent," and insisting the administration will only cut Democrat programs.
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has been blamed for the Schumer Shutdown after Democrats voted several times to keep the government closed since the October 1 funding deadline.
- Using blunt language, Trump said, "Chuck Schumer proclaimed this morning that every day gets better for them," and added, "Despite all of the damage that it's caused, the shutdown, it's been, you know, pretty damaging, I mean, not yet because it's early, but it gets a little bit worse as it goes along."
- The shutdown is already hitting services as furloughed federal workers face layoffs and military personnel, air traffic controllers, and impoverished mothers endure mounting pain, while Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker responds with protests.
- Looking beyond immediate cuts, the Democrat-led funding bill, at $1.5 trillion, aims to reverse many of Trump's legislative achievements, Trump said.
