"For the past 43 days, Democrats in Congress shut down the government of the United States in an attempt to extort American taxpayers for hundreds of billions of dollars for illegal aliens and people that came into our country illegally, from gangs, from prisons, from mental institutions, Trump said. He continued, They wanted to pay them $1.5 trillion, which would have really hurt our health care businesses and our recipients at levels never seen before."
"Today, we're sending a clear message that we will never give in to extortion, because that's what it was. Trump said the deal should have been considered not a big deal, but the Democrats wanted to play hardball before they ultimately ended up getting the same deal they would have had more than a month ago. The president also moved on from congressional Dems to bashing two of his favorite human pinatas, ex-President Barack Obama and New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani."
President Donald Trump signed a bill ending the 43-day government shutdown and accused congressional Democrats of extremism and attempting to extort American taxpayers for hundreds of billions. He claimed Democrats sought $1.5 trillion that would have harmed health care businesses and recipients, and said the final deal matched what Democrats could have accepted earlier. Trump criticized former President Barack Hussein Obama and called Obamacare a scandal while proposing that money now directed to insurers should instead go to individuals to buy their own health care. He did not take questions after signing; television audio captured a reporter asking about newly released Jeffrey Epstein documents.
