Trump Slams Democrats as Shutdown Reaches Day 31: “They’ve Become Crazed Lunatics”
“All they have to do is say, ‘Let’s go, let’s open up our country,’ and everything snaps back into shape,” Trump said, urging Democratic leaders to “put the American people first instead of playing political games.”
Trump Slams Democrats as Shutdown Reaches Day 31: “They’ve Become Crazed Lunatics”
Washington, D.C., October 31, 2025: President Donald J. Trump has sharply criticized Democratic lawmakers as the U.S. government shutdown entered its 31st day, with no sign of a resolution. Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Trump said the deadlock is entirely due to the Democrats’ refusal to cooperate and reopen federal operations.
“All they have to do is say, ‘Let’s go, let’s open up our country,’ and everything snaps back into shape,” Trump said, urging Democratic leaders to “put the American people first instead of playing political games.”
He further added, “They’ve become crazed lunatics,” accusing Democrats of prioritizing their political agenda over national interest.
The shutdown, now the longest in modern U.S. history, has left hundreds of thousands of federal employees without pay, affected critical services, and sparked widespread economic concern.
Despite growing pressure from both parties and the public, negotiations between the White House and Congressional Democrats remain deadlocked, primarily over spending priorities and border security funding.
