President Donald Trump on Thursday said Democrats have given him an “unprecedented opportunity” to slash federal agencies, signaling plans to harm his political opponents during the two-day-old government shutdown while blaming them for causing it.
Trump’s warning came a day after his administration froze about $18 billion for two major infrastructure projects in New York City and canceled roughly $8 billion more for climate-related projects in Democratic-leaning states.

democrat priorities...NOT democratic priorities.
Will he be able to do 160+ recess appointments?
Notwithstanding the unconstitutionally federally-protected unions and against all odds, as the miraculous birthing of America in 1776, so now, the Invisible Hand of Divine Providence is working to restore America’s Free Constitutional Republic by shutting down the $3+ Trillion, 80%+ unconstitutional portion of the federal gov’t, presently our greatest enemy.
At some point, that should include but certainly not be limited to abolishing gov’t “healthcare”.
There are so many reasons unconstitutional gov’t healthcare should be abolished.
Here is a sampling of reasons:
1) Gov’t takeover of healthcare is unconstitutional and, thus, illegal. Nowhere does the Constitution delegate power to the feds to meddle in healthcare.
2) See 1)
3) Gov’t healthcare puts your individual healthcare in the hands of distant, indifferent, and non-medial D.C. bureaucrats and politicians who of course as middlemen must be paid and, thus, increasing the cost of healthcare. The HHS bureaucracy has a budget of $1 trillion.
4) The highest quality, most affordable, and most available healthcare in the world is what we had in the voluntary cooperation DIRECTLY between doctor and patient before the gov’t muscled in in the 50’s and 60’s with its “helping hand” hand out and a hammer behind his back! As Ronald Reagan said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: ‘I’m from the Government, and I’m here to help’”.
5) Gov’t hammer? What hammer? Forced vaccines, forced abortions, forced treatment all by distant politicians and bureaucrats who are not medical experts and do not know you personally.
6) Gov’t agenda vs. your own personal agenda. Who cares more about your health? You? Or some distant politician and bureaucrat who doesn’t know you from Adam and frankly couldn’t care less about you personally?
7) No one cares more about your health than you. Why in the world would you take your personal healthcare and your personal choices in the self interest of your health and wellbeing out of the hands of the DIRECT relationship between you and the doctor of your choosing who knows and cares about you, and instead put your healthcare in the hands gov’t politicians and bureaucrats who don’t know you, have the power to force you to do what they want, and who have their own agenda which includes “culling” the “overpopulation” - so gov’t has a bias toward your death.
8) That is a short list. There’s more but why would anyone need more reasons? NUKE UNCONSTITUTIONAL GOV’T HEALTHCARE!!!
Follow up by dismantling most of the rest of the $1 TRILLION HHS, most of which is unconstitutional
Unfortunately, the Republicans, despite holding majorities in both Houses of Congress and the presidency are too dysfunctional to approve a budget for FY 2026. Therefore, they require Rat votes for a continuing resolution (CR), which is subject to filibuster in the Senate. Without shutting the government down, the CR would just continue to fund the government as Biden and the Rats approved. Hopefully, MAGA can oust the RINOs who made a passing a proper budget impossible.

I have a meeting today with 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. I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT”””
The Leftists will go bonkers if the read what Trump wrote.
Especially, “Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame,” will lead to great gnashing of teeth.
He told everyone this would happen if the Dems insisted on shutting down the gov't. It's not retribution of political opponents, it's the fact that he and the voters want a smaller gov't, not a larger one. And we sure as hell don't want to fund anything for illegal immigrants...NOTHING!
Expansion of more and more unconstitutional federal gov't.
(See post #4.)
100%
Make the cuts permanent, no more furlough BS
No mercy
democrat priorities...NOT democratic priorities.

Yes! There’s nothing “democratic” about them.
Right!
Where is Regular Order?
Congress has been on permanent vacation for decades.
All cuts are by definition “merciful” if no agency is ever abolished.
No Mercy. Abolish an agency. Wipe it out in total.
DOGE exposed the breadth and depth of the deep state. Is is the presidents opportunity to cut tens of thousands of useless government parasites loose.
You know he posted that to get the dims to reconsider this shutdown. The go ahead make my day theme continues.
I got my mail yesterday and as long as I get my SS direct deposit, I’m good. Pay the military though.
“plans to harm his political opponents “
The deficit is big. Cuts are needed. That a few people here and there claim other motivations is irrelevant.
Trump is right. They are not stupid people. They have stolen a lot of US Dollars, which they, now, hope Trump can stabilize.
Don’t talk. Just act. Decimate the deep state and destroy the Democrat’s power base. Schumer has given Trump an historic opportunity. Trump and the nation will deeply regret it if he does not make it a fait accompli.
