Trump Won

November 12, 2025

This was classic D.C. shenanigans. It’s comical that it ended like this, but what did Democrats think was going to happen? President Trump was not going to budge on illegal alien healthcare benefits and NPR funding. This unnecessary Schumer Shutdown exposed the tumult bubbling within the Democratic Party, the failed leadership, and the mind-numbingly stupid ending that reminds voters how Donald Trump won the presidency twice. 

The Democrats shut down the government in October. They wanted $1.5 trillion for illegal alien healthcare benefits, which was never going to happen. The Republicans, knowing more time was needed to finalize at least a dozen appropriations bills, set forth a seven-week continuing resolution to create some breathing room. Spending was to remain under Biden-era levels. It had no poison pills or GOP initiatives, and the Democrats rejected them.  

Forty days later, the Democrats caved, agreeing to fund the government through January 30, SNAP benefits until September 2026, and a vote on expiring Obamacare subsidies. Yes, this was essentially the same deal that the Democrats walked away from in mid-October. Also, the initial CR was something these clowns backed in March. What was the point, lads? It was an unnecessary exercise in cruelty on American families. The worst part is that we know that some Democrats wanted to end the circus a few weeks ago, but Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) persuaded them not to.  

Now, House Democrats want to derail this bill, reinforcing the initial narrative that this was a Democrat-led shutdown. It’s an epic boomerang to the face. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), who faces unrest from his own party, and Schumer are not leaders. They’re mocked and dismissed, and their grip on their respective caucuses is suspect. Say what you want about late Sen. Harry Reid, but he’d never allow eight Democrats to defect in the Senate, which is what happened this week.  

And again, Jeffries’ reaction shows that the front lines were shored up. It was a bad move, with bad messaging, and it was not sustainable. Not everyone was in on the play, which is what you need in a shutdown fight. Without all the flanks covered, don’t do this. It was another prime showcase of Democrats pushing bad policy, with atrocious messaging, and having no leaders to lead the ranks.  

This is Swamp TV, folks. It’s these games that voters want Trump to demolish—and the circular firing squad here is another reason why Trump has a strong, resonating message regarding Washington’s games.
