The Trump administration and the Republican Controlled U.S. Congress run the federal government and therefore own and are responsible for the latest government shutdown. It was actually predictable because in the very first Trump administration, they shutdown the government 3 times. Twice in 2018 and once in the latter part of 2018 which carried over until the early part of 2019. That shutdown lasted 35 days and is still a record.
The present shutdown in Trump's second term could be predicted also because Trump said a shutdown may be needed. He wants one to destroy the federal government as we know it so he can satisfy his thirst to be a dictator and rule over everyone and everything. That is why he is threatening to lay off government workers to try and scare the people. Dictators thrive on fear. Trump and his party also need someone or something to blame for his failing economy, a stand still job market, higher unemployment and higher inflation than when Biden left office. The President is also showing his lack of mental acuity and becoming more violent in his rhetoric.
Trump's enabling media still see no evil, hear no evil or report no evil concerning his pathetic actions as President. They were aware the shutdown was coming but would rather play the blame game like Trump and his party and the conservatives negative voices to justify Trump's ego. Nine months in office and there is still no sanity in the Trump White House or the GOP controlled congress.
And that really says it all.
