This government closure is not president Donald Trump The first Rodio to move in the period of government financing – but this time, the focus is less on the White House as all eyes are closed on Congress and their materials.
While the 35 -day closure during Trump’s first term focuses on the president’s priorities for financing a border wall between the United States and Mexico, the current closure does not prove the White House against the legislative branch.
Instead, there is a dead end between Republicans and Democrats in Congress due to some health care provisions-to relieve pressure on the White House and give Trump’s time time to publish videos that show the leader of the minority in the House of Representatives, Hakim Jeffrez, DN.
Here is what Trump wants to do to reshape the federal government during the closure

This paves the way for Trump to stay in the wings during the partial closure, and allow Democrats to get out of the consequences, according to Christine Tate, the writer of the liberal political column.
“By staying relatively calm at the present time, President Trump allows Democrats to possess” closure “.” The president realizes that if he says anything in the confrontation at the present time, the narration will focus on his statements instead of the Democrats’ refusal to support the draft law of reasonable spending. ”
“By maintaining a low decline, Trump allows the public to see how Democrats act,” Tate said. “Democrats will eventually bear most of the political consequences of closure.”
The government entered a partial closure on Wednesday, amid a dead end between Republicans in the Senate and Democrats due to a short -term financing bill to keep the government open until November 21. The temporary spending bill in September has already been passed.
Three Democrats in the Senate joined the Republicans to vote for the Stopgap bill on Tuesday, but this procedure is less than 60 votes required for traffic.
Meanwhile, Trump and the Republicans claimed that the Democrats seek to provide health care for illegal immigrants, and to keep the government from work. They cite a bon that would eliminate part of the draft tax and local policy law-the so-called “large and beautiful bill”-which has expanded the eligibility of the medical circles of non-citizens.
But the Democrats said that Republicans’ allegations were wrong, and instead, they said they wanted to extend some constant support for the law of care at reasonable prices being appointed at the end of 2025.

“They say that people who have no documents will get these credits,” Senate minority leader Chuck SchumerDN.Y, Tuesday. “This is completely wrong. This is one of the big lies they say.”
The closure is different from the period during the first period of Trump, as Trump and the Democrats in the Congress erupted by about $ 6 billion in financing the United States and Mexico border wall in the draft spending law for weeks.
In the end, Trump retreated amid escalating pressure to reopen the government so that Federal employees could appeal after weeks of suspended salaries, and signed legislation to temporarily reopen the government without financing the border wall.
Matt Wolging, who previously held the position of Deputy Director of Communications in the Trump campaign for the year 2020, said the main difference between this closure compared to the previous article is that the Democrats are the ones who ask to change politics – not the White House.
“Trump is involved as it was always – and the use of humor effectively, of course – and the biggest difference from time to time is that the Democrats who demand a specific change in politics,” Wolding said in an email on Wednesday to Fox News Digital. “They voted against government financing because they want the health -guided health care of the illegal immigrants, and for this reason that Trump and the Republicans are in a good position to win the battle of messages this time.”

In addition, Matt Gorman, the Republican strategic expert, said that the Democrats put themselves in a difficult situation because they were the ones who voted against the ongoing decision.
“The times have been repeated and repeated over the years when the public supports government financing. They are punishing the party that suspends additional political priorities on any bill that does that,” Gourman, who previously held the position of Director of Communications to the National Congress Committee, said in an email on Wednesday to Fox News Digital. “You already see the moderate Democrats separate. As it happens, I expect it to continue.”
Meanwhile, Trump benefits from closing to push his priorities to rid the federal government in an unprecedented step. The Office of Management and Budget at the White House in September To develop plans to reduce strength in the event of a passage in the credits.

While federal employees are usually subject to government closure, the Trump administration plans will permanently increase the size of the federal workforce if the government is closed.
“Republicans should use this opportunity for Democrats forced closure to remove dead wood, waste and fraud,” Trump said on a social media on Wednesday. “You can save billions of dollars. Make America great again!”
Vice President JD Vance adopted A proactive role that carries the position of the administration, and reported on Tuesday that he expected that the closure would not last long. Specifically, he said the evidence indicates that moderate Democrats “flounder a little” because they understand “the absence” of closing.
However, he said that the demobilization of the workers was coming. Trump said on Sunday that the demobilization of workers “was now happening” with thousands of workers’ jobs remaining in danger.
“We will have to make things work,” Vans said. “This means that we will have to sort some things, as this means that some people will have to lay off them. We will try to ensure that the American people suffer from as much closed as possible.”
The White House said in a statement to Fox News Digital that every suspension comes with consequences.
“Democrats can reopen the government at any time,” said White House spokesman Abyel Jackson on Monday.
