The United States has always refused to be born.

The Hollywood writers and actors just talked about the strike, but the White House shut down directly. Now it's the tenth day. Compared with the stars who can finally return to the set to film, more ordinary Americans are staring at their mobile phones to brush the news. They want to know when the government's "shutdown" will end and how much their lives will be affected.

October 1st was originally the beginning of the new fiscal year of the U.S. government, but on this day, a brief statement was posted on the White House's official website. Due to Congress's failure to pass the budget for this fiscal year, some non-core departments have suspended operations, which translates into plain Chinese. The U.S. government is running out of money, many offices are closing, and many civil servants are temporarily out of work.

In fact, this matter is not new in the United States. Since the 1980s, the U.S. government has suspended more than 20 times, ranging from two to three days to five weeks.

But this time is different. usually stopped, the president and parliament have to come back to pull a few rounds, eventually each step back, the money to be allocated, the door to be opened, but Trump this time does not go according to the old script.

A few days before the shutdown, Trump also publicly stated that the Democratic Party was playing their old trick again, using the government shutdown as a bargaining chip. This time, we would not waste time with them. We would cut off people that should be laid off and projects that should be stopped.

At the time, nobody took this too seriously, after all, the past stopped, the president and the hardness will first guarantee the public servants' salary, after all, the family, but ten days passed, Trump did so.

On October 10, the White House Office of Management and Budget posted a message on the social platform saying that "the federal employee layoff process has been launched." Within two days, employees of the Ministry of Education and the Cybersecurity Administration discovered that they could not open their access cards at work. A termination notice was lying in the mailbox;

The Ministry of Homeland Security and the Ministry of Finance have begun to register the departing personnel, and the most busy disease control centers have suspended some research projects.

Most surprisingly, this dismissal was not only aimed at new employees, even some teenage old employees did not survive, Mary, an executive who worked in the Department of Education for fifteen years in Washington, D.C., yesterday was still preparing for school activities for children, today was notified to give work cards, the U.S. senior said the budget was gone, the job was cut, but she didn't even know where to go for the next job.

This is not the first government shutdown in U.S. history, but the first time that federal employees have been abolished on a large scale during the funding interruption. In the usual shutdown, at most, departments are not working and wages are delayed until the budget is passed. This time Trump directly initiated the layoff process, which is equivalent to upgrading the "shutdown" to "downsizing."

To say why Trump is so tough, we must start from the top of the shutdown, this September, the U.S. Congress to approve the budget for the fiscal year 2026, the Democratic preferred two houses of the House of Representatives put forward a plan, which includes a lot of Trump's opposition spending, housing subsidies for low-income families, additional appropriations for environmental protection projects, as well as funds for the operation of community medical centers.

Trump blamed it was ¡°wasting taxpayer¡¯s money,¡± resolutely not to sign, and the Democrats did not make concessions, saying these are all necessary for people¡¯s livelihoods, ¡°the president can¡¯t cut because he doesn¡¯t like it.¡±

If the two sides can't reach an agreement, the budget will be stuck in Congress, and the government will become a car without gas. According to American law, if the budget is not enough, non-core departments will have to close down.

But the law does not say that the closure of the door can be discontinued, the previous president is mostly to let employees unpaid leave, wait for the money to be repaid again, Trump is willing to break this case, Trump said that since they are not willing to give the money they want, then he will try his own method of province.

This incident caused trouble, and even the U.S. military was implicated. After the shutdown, the soldiers' salaries were paid every half a month, and the military salaries were not settled in the second half of October.

But Trump didn't seem to care too much about this. On the tenth day of the shutdown, he did another thing to make the Democratic Party jump and ordered a battalion of the National Guard to be sent to Chicago.

Chicago¡¯s security issues have been around for a long time, last year more than 5,000 people were killed in shootings, gang fire and even more common, and the Democrats have been opposed to the federal army¡¯s direct interference with local security, thinking it¡¯s a veto, but Trump doesn¡¯t matter, he always thinks Chicago¡¯s citizens are bleeding, and the federal government can¡¯t look anyway.

The news of the dispatch came, and the mayor of Chicago was in a hurry at the scene, facing a reporter interview, he directly said it was a violation of local sovereignty, Chicago has its own police and does not need the army to handle, but Trump returned more directly: "Your police are not good, I will handle."

This "indifferent" act, let the American political circle blow up the pot, some say he is fulfilling the "iron wrist" promise in the campaign, some say he takes the state machine as a political tool, but no matter how the outside world blaspheme, Trump's team seems to have been prepared, the White House spokesman holds a daily press conference, turning back on the words: "The president is saving money for taxpayers" "Democrats refuse to cooperate, the consequences are self-sufficient".

In fact, deeply looking, Trump in the past decade in politics, has long been accustomed to "not according to common sense", he pushed the border wall of the United States and Mexico, rather than abuse the military spending to build, he withdrew from the Paris climate agreement, said "this agreement is undermining the United States", and now stopped dismissing people, but to continue "I do my way" from the policy to the operation of the government.

Today, the stall continues, the tenth day is just the beginning, and no one knows when this wave will end.

Democrats have also blamed Trump¡¯s ¡°dictatorship¡± in Congress, and Trump supporters have printed ¡°the president has done right¡± on social media, but those sentenced civil servants, soldiers who don¡¯t get their wages, and the elderly waiting for community hospitals to open, are the real victims.

After all, there is no absolute wrong in the political game, but when the state machine, because of the party, ultimately pays for it, it is always ordinary people.

Today's American people are also open-minded. They also think that no matter who is the president, they only hope that the government can work well and don't let these little people suffer.

For the tenth day of the White House shutdown, Trump has indeed fulfilled his promise.

He broke the conventions of American politics and pushed more ordinary people into a whirlpool of uncertainty.

As for when this whirlwind will calm down, maybe only time will give an answer.
