Trump To Schumer: We Will Permanently Fire DC Bureaucrats If You Shut The Government Down

[Mac1958]

Threats. Every day. It's all he knows.

The people who voted to shut down the government are the ones responsible for shutting down the government. See how that works?

When a senator filibusters a bill that continues funding the government and the original funding runs out, it's on him. This is the Schumer Shutdown all the way.

PS, nobody voted to shut down the government, that happened when Schumer refused to allow the funding to continue.

That is all a president can do until the government is opened. The easy way or the hard way.

Thune needs to go "nuclear' for Appropriations and CRs.

Trump Gives Democrats Deadline For When Permanent Government Firings Will Begin

President Donald Trump gave Democrats a deadline for when he would start making cuts to federal workers and other federal programs.

President Donald Trump gave Democrats a deadline for when he would start making cuts to federal workers and other federal programs.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the majority of his caucus again rejected a continuing resolution Monday, extending the government shutdown. Trump, who’s administration previously teased mass firings as a result of the shutdown, told reporters Tuesday that such could happen if the government shutdown continues for four to five days.
“How many permanent jobs are you talking about eliminating?” a reporter asked Trump.
“I’ll be able to tell you that in four or five days. If this keeps going on, it’ll be substantial, and a lot of those jobs will never come back,” Trump responded. “You’re going to have a lot closer to a balanced budget.”

The shutdown battle has focused on healthcare, with Democrats demanding increased funding for Medicaid, such as reimbursements for state spending on illegal aliens, and Affordable Care Act subsidies.
Last week, Trump and his Office of Management and Budget Director met to discuss potential layoffs. Afterwards, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Daily Caller that layoffs were “imminent,” though none have occurred since.
“Unfortunately, because the Democrats shut down the government, the president has directed his cabinet and the Office of Management and Budget is working with agencies across the board to identify where cuts can be made and we believe that layoffs are imminent,” Leavitt said.

Commentary:
It's nearing FAFO time for Democrats...especially the DSA.
Doge gave him a map, time to implement 100% of DOGE findings.
I want immediate firings of ALL the furloughed bureaucrats and then a whole lot more. Two million new unemployed bureaucrat's would be nice along with the termination of all the agencies and departments.
At this point, I'll believe it when I see it. I'm rooting for DJT, though!

Wow! Talk about calling ass!!

Trump sez, go for it, we'll fire half of DC if you play with me.

The dims seem to not believe Trump will do certain things.

But there's always that little thingy called his record.

He doesn't say "you're fired" for nothing.

What a great president we have

I keep waiting for this to happen and wondering why it hasn’t yet.

Here’s what I think the strategy is. The democrats are going to cave, they have to. 1.5 trillion for illegals and Democrat wish lists isn’t going to happen. But why hold off on cutting all of the government he can?

1- It provides more Democrat talking points.
2- It would give them another thing to add to their wish list to reverse those orders.
3- We have time.

I think the plan is to wait until the dems cave and during that 24 hours it takes for Trump to sign off on it that’s when the axe falls.

The government is not an employment agency. If we didn't need them before the shutdown we don't need them after the shutdown.

I don't think he's kidding

DOGE Part 2.




Schumer and the Democrats are really going to shut down the government, at least for a while, to try to force Trump to spend Medicare dollars on sex change operations for illegals. (Among other things.)

How is this a threat, dumb ass?

Trump is going to try to fire most of the Federal work force whether the shutdown continues or not. This is no leverage for Trump....and Schumer has finally learned that.
