I have claimed that Trump has increased control over many aspects of spending during a government shutdown. Are my claims true? How so?

Is this an essay question? If so, how many words does it have to be, and do you want it hand written, or typed? And how much of our final grade will this count as?

Seriously?
Hopefully, someone will actually answer the question.
The President can deem certain functions necessary for public safety and facility security, and the military still does its job, and these positions will all get paid when there is a new spending bill.
PRyno obviously lets EOs overrule his Budget Boffinism....
PRyno is a weak non-leader.
Where is this written. I've not heard of it before...?
From today's Sunday Thread:

Probably because Mulvaney is OMB .... I also think he's a more effective spokesperson than Ryan.
Sean Hannity: All of the important aspects involving the government continue, and those people that are furloughed usually get their money back, because Congress will give them back pay and a free vacation.
Mick Mulvaney: Yeah, I mean...here’s how I explained it to people. I explained it this — obviously, I’m — the reason that, obviously, I’m heavily involved in this, Sean, is that the Office of Management and Budget is charged with, you know, sort of implementing running a shutdown. In fact, I found out for the first time last night that the person who technically shuts the government down is me, which is kind of cool.

OK, on what have your often claims been based?
President Trump has all the financial power he needs for the war he is fighting from the 4 codes cited in the beginning of this
The Dems are concentrating on a distraction while he is playing a different game.
It’s your claim. You prove it.
Do we have to write the question?
WhatisthisIdont...
except it’s not a government shut down. it is a temporary budget realignment. we need to change the narrative. I was hoping someone within trump would start to rebrand it. not yet tho.
Go Mulvaney!
Impoundment is an act by a President of the United States of not spending money that has been appropriated by the U.S. Congress. Thomas Jefferson was the first president to exercise the power of impoundment in 1801. The power was available to all presidents up to and including Richard Nixon, and was regarded as a power inherent to the office. The Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 was passed in response to perceived abuse of the power under President Nixon. Title X of the Act removed that power, and Train v. City of New York (whose facts predate the 1974 Act, but which was argued before the U.S. Supreme Court after its passage), closed potential loopholes in the 1974 Act. The president's ability to indefinitely reject congressionally approved spending was thus removed.
Thanks, FrankR!
How so? - They are wrong.
