Although there has been not only one government shutdown in American history,
Even in his first term, Trump experienced two government shutdowns in 2018 and set a new record for the White House shutdown.
But for the overwhelming majority of presidents, the government shutdown is undoubtedly a burning eyebrow and must be addressed immediately.
But this time, as President Trump, not only did not panic in the face of the government shutdown that had already arrived, he was also gloating over his misfortune. So what was going on?
Golf cannot stop.
Let me first explain to you that the so-called government shutdown in the United States refers to the closure of some departments and the suspension of related government services due to the White House's financial constraints and the inability to maintain the normal operation of the government.
In terms of the government shutdown, it is estimated that between 750,000 and 800,000 federal employees will be on unpaid leave due to the government shutdown.
Moreover, according to Trump, except for the normal operation of necessary departments such as the Department of Homeland Security and the IRS, the services of other departments will be affected.
Without a doubt, this is a pretty bad thing.
After all, once the government is unable to perform many functions of social service, it will inevitably be opposed by the people!
In 2018, Trump lost a lot of support because of the two previous government shutdowns.
As a matter of fact, in the history of the United States, whenever the president of the United States encounters the government shutdown, he will be like an enemy, trembling and treading on thin ice, trying to solve it as soon as possible.
Until I met Trump.
In fact, the government shutdown is not unsolvable. As long as the Republican Party and the Democratic Party can reach an agreement and let Congress pass the new appropriation draft, the government can resume operation.
In the wake of the White House shutdown, negotiations between the two parties have begun since September.
In this regard, the will of the Democratic Party is clear, mainly summarizing two articles,
First, they asked Trump to apologize for previous bad rules and make corrections.
For example, withdrawing the National Guard from Washington and ensuring that troops will no longer be used to break into Democrat-controlled cities,
Second, they asked the Trump administration to fully consider the opinions of the Democratic Party when dividing the budget, and you can't spend it as you want.
In short, they’re demanding Trump tells the rules and can’t mess up anymore.
And Trump's reaction to this is that golf starts!
Yes, that's right. According to reports, on September 28, Trump also shared on social media the wonderful times he played golf with his granddaughter Kay Trump.
As for the government shutdown?
What is that?
Is it important?
Per someone will say that people Trump this is called stable, called the Thai mountain face collapsed in the front without changing the color of the courage.
But is there a possibility?
Trump did not have the courage, but purely wanted to pour oil on the fire?
After the real time came on September 20, the two parties have entered the spark phase of negotiations around the government shutdown.
How do you guess?
Trump may have felt that it was not lively enough, so he poured a few more barrels of oil!
On September 25th, Trump signed a presidential memorandum aimed at cracking down on the political violence of left-wing extremists such as the Democratic Party on the grounds of Kirk's death.
He also specially warned a number of Democratic Party sponsors with his real names,
On September 27, after Los Angeles and Washington, Trump once again announced that he would transfer troops to Portland, another city controlled by the Democratic Party, which successfully aroused the anger of the Democratic Party again.
Afterwards, Trump, in a meeting with more than 800 senior U.S. generals, said more nakedly:
The leftists headed by the Democratic Party are the enemies within the United States and the targets to be attacked!
It also clarified the important objectives of the U.S. Army as a whole, throwing out those who advocate political correctness and diversity!
It can be said that during the suspension of the U.S. government, Trump not only did not think of negotiating mediation, but instead was a way to push the wave and pour oil on the fire.
Why did he do that? and why did he dare?
2. Trump's revenge
Let's talk now, why did Trump do this?
The reason is simple, he wants revenge.
Objectively speaking, being president of the United States in 2025 is not a comfortable thing.
Because this year, the U.S. government will face up to 9.2 trillion U.S. dollars of maturing treasury bonds and corresponding interest!
Do you know what this concept is?
The White House’s fiscal revenue is expected to total $4 trillion this year!
Not enough, really not enough.
This can explain why after Trump returned to the White House, he pursued reciprocal tariffs, destroyed U.S. stocks, and aggressively demanded that the Federal Reserve cut interest rates.
It's really stressful!
But the Fed still refused to cooperate.
It is also understandable, because the Federal Reserve is the largest creditor of the US government!
Until the White House has paid off its major debt this year, the Fed may have cut its revenue by tens of billions of dollars for every percentage point it drops.
How can people do this kind of loss-making business?
Therefore, the Federal Reserve waited until September 17, when the White House had repaid most of this year's debt, before belatedly announcing a rate cut, which was only 25 basis points.
There is no doubt that this wave of Federal Reserve operations has boosted the Trump administration’s fiscal spending and is an important driver for the White House shutdown.
So who is the Fed closer to now?
Of course it is the Democratic Party!
You know, when Biden was president, the Federal Reserve was very cooperative!
Secondly, at least he has been the president of parliament. Trump knows very well that as a political amateur like himself, it is difficult to be recognized by the establishment elites.
So, after returning to the White House, he immediately appointed Musk as Minister of Efficiency and carried out major cuts.
And this White House shutdown may also be Trump's long-awaited purge opportunity!
Don't get me wrong, this is not a random guess, but what Trump himself admits.
On September 30, on the eve of the White House shutdown, Trump had clearly asked all departments to prepare a list of jobs that might be permanently abolished.
The areas involved include projects that are about to be discontinued next week, plans that lack other funding, and areas that are not in line with the current core government policies.
And Trump generously admitted that
The government’s “closure” could bring “many benefits.”
Because "we can get rid of a lot of things that we don't want, and those things are Democratic things."
To put it bluntly, the federal employees laid off in this shutdown will be mainly Democrats.
The projects that have been stopped and cut down are also the achievements of the Democratic Party.
It should be said that Trump's move was quite clever.
Doesn't the Democratic Party want to threaten itself with the government shutdown and make itself give in?
Well, then you yourself, by undermining the normal operation of the government by the Democratic Party, take a heavy blow to it!
Public complaints and other adverse effects.
In this regard, Trump said:
“These Democrats are crazy, and if they have to shut the door, they shut it, but they’re the ones that shut the government.”
Yes, right, as long as the pot is stuck on the head of the Democratic Party, will the president himself not be clean?
Would there be any mess with the government?
Look at what Trump did on September 30th.
The bottom of Trump.
Once known, twice known.
In 2016, as a political amateur in the White House, Trump's performance in the political struggle, really can be called a thin!
Especially in 2021, the Capitol Hill incident initiated by Trump is a concentrated expression of his immaturity.
Because Trump, who wants to lift the table, uses the force to attack Capitol Hill to be not the army, but ordinary people!
The result is conceivable. Although the momentum is huge, under the strong suppression of violent departments such as military police, hundreds of people were arrested and it ended quickly and dismal, and Trump almost went to jail.
Therefore, after Trump returned to the White House, it was of great importance to the military.
The Secretary of War appointed by him, the former Secretary of Defense Hagesese, faithfully implemented Trump's policy of purging the military and eliminated senior generals who leaned towards the Democratic Party one by one.
On September 30, when Republicans and Democrats continued to argue around the White House allocation bill while in Congress.
Trump, accompanied by Hergezes, arrived at the Naval Corps Base in Pattiko, Virginia, where he met with more than 800 senior U.S. military generals from around the world.
In this meeting, Trump's performance in the face of these generals was remarkable.
First, he expressed emotionally:
“I’m going to tell the generals that we love them, they’re valued leaders.”
He also announced that US military spending will rise to $100 billion next year.
By this, it proves that Trump's rank is higher than Yongxiang, and if you want the military to obey, then you have to come up with something real, and adding money is undoubtedly the most real.
While spending money on the army, Trump did not threaten:
“If you don’t like what I’m saying, you can leave. Of course, your position will not be secured and your future will be destroyed.”
In addition, Hegseth also put forward ten requirements for the consolidation of the U.S. military, one of the cores of which is to combat the influence of the Democratic Party in the military.
At the same time, he also threatened the generals present:
"If you don't agree, resign"!
How is that effect?
The answer is not bad. No matter what they think, the generals present are at least aware of the times, and no one openly opposes it.
Then think of it that before, Trump was indeed able to directly send troops into Los Angeles and Washington against the opposition of local state governments without even informing Congress.
It can be seen that Trump still has certain prestige in the military. Even in the territory of the Democratic Party, he can mobilize the military.
So what is terrible about Trump?
In any case, the government stopped this, and it has not happened rarely in the United States, nothing big, at least does not affect the top of the White House headed by Trump.
Conclusion:
Trump has once again proved with his practical actions that no one can hurt me with the bottom line as long as I don’t have the bottom line.
In the past, the opposition party was able to use the government shutdown to get the president to compromise because the previous president still had a little sense of national consciousness and at least had a face.
But now, when Trump begins to face off as president, it’s embarrassing, just afraid that it’s not just Democrats and the White House, right?
