"As I've said repeatedly, Kaitlan, this conversation about layoffs would not be happening if the Democrats did not vote to shut the government down, Leavitt said, continuing: And as I also said last briefing as well, we are $37 trillion in debt and the government is not receiving any cash. So, someone has to look at the balance sheet and be good stewards of the American taxpayer dollar. And layoffs are an unfortunate consequence of that."
"I have a meetingwith Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent, Trump declared on Truth Social. I can't believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity."
A press briefing featured a confrontation over who would be blamed if federal workers are laid off during a government shutdown. The White House attributed potential layoffs to Democrats for voting to shut the government, cited a $37 trillion national debt and lack of cash, and described layoffs as an unfortunate consequence of fiscal stewardship. The president signaled plans to use the shutdown to cut agencies, referenced a meeting with Russ Vought of Project 2025 to identify agency cuts, and described many Democrat agencies as political scams while calling the shutdown an opportunity to pursue cuts.
