"Everything that President Trump has done subsequent to Monday has been unhinged and unserious. In fact, Donald Trump is in the presidential witness protection program no one can find him when it comes to the government shutdown issue, because he knows he's responsible for having caused it. And the behavior, the erratic behavior that we've seen is further confirmation of that unfortunate fact."
"We need to reopen the government in this Trump Republican government shutdown, and we can find a bipartisan path toward a spending agreement. But that spending agreement has to actually meet the needs of the American people in terms of their health, their safety and their economic well-being, particularly as it relates to driving down the high cost of living and lowering health care costs,"
President Trump posted mocking AI videos of Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wearing sombreros with mariachi music while blaming Democrats for the government shutdown. Trump promoted the shutdown as an opportunity to implement major cuts and mass firings across the federal government. Jeffries called the AI posts racist and characterized Trump’s subsequent actions as unhinged and unserious, saying Republicans appeared determined to shut down the government. Jeffries emphasized Democratic willingness to negotiate in good faith to reopen the government and seek a bipartisan spending agreement that protects health, safety, and economic well-being, including preserving ACA tax credits.
