The courts told Trump that he can’t eliminate Federal jobs because Congress had appropriated funds, which he is then obligated to spend.
Fast forward a few months, and Congress has refused to appropriate any funds unless USAID and free Healthcare for illegal immigrants is included. Because there are no funds, government is shut down.
The firings have begun. The MSM frames it as Trump going after Democrats and getting rid of programs he doesn’t like. I think he’s doing what he was elected to do. He’s the first politician from either party to make real cuts.
Thats exactly what I voted for.
All he has to do now is refuse to sign any budget containing all of the bullshit like free stuff for illegals or USAID kickbacks for Democrats.
Stay the course, Mr President.

“The MSM frames it as Trump going after Democrats and getting rid of programs he doesn’t like. I think he’s doing what he was elected to do.”
Two things can be true.
Re the going after Democrats, I have no sympathy for those who persecuted him for daring to have won an election … especially when they are so incredibly hypocritical.
And yes, I, too, voted for this; and I wouldn’t change my vote.

He sure learned a lot in the four years he was off. And I also voted for Matt.

It’s like a child crying after getting spanked, after the child was warned several times to stop acting like a petulant brat. I voted for this

The only sad part of this shutdown is congress is still getting paid and the troops are not.
Then again if they’re getting paid, there is no rush to open government again.

I absolutely agree with what he’s doing.
