President Donald Trump castigated the Democrats on Tuesday during their government closure, declaring that their lack of leadership reminds him of Somalia.
Trump searched the head of the Senate minority, Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and the Democrats as they continue to keep the government closed, despite the Republicans who adopted a continuous resolution almost three weeks ago in the House of Representatives.
“I just don’t know if Schumer has power. I look at your leadership; I don’t know who to talk to,” said Trump.
“I’m going to tell you what. I receive calls from democrats who wanted to meet. I have never even heard their names before, and they claim to be a leader-Democrats do not have a leader. They remind me of Somalia,” he added.
Trump’s excavation occurred when he was an answer to a journalist asking for programs that the administration identified in Nix due to the closure.
Although he does not disclose the programs he plans to cut, he said: “We have a lot” that would be eliminated. By forcing a closure, the Democrats have created a dynamic where the Trump administration, in particular the Director of the Russian management and budget office, must reduce funding not essential to save for essential services.
“One of the things we have as an advantage, you could say, but because of the closure, that I think they made a big mistake, we are able to remove billions and billions of dollars of waste, fraud and abuse, and they put it back on a silver set,” said Trump.
“And you know, Russell Vought, he is a serious person, a very serious person, and he sits there and he is preparing to cut things. And that’s something that was given to us, I suppose, Schumer,” he added.
Trump was also asked about the layoffs of potential permanent federal workers and said that he would be able to share them in approximately five days if the stop persists.
“I will be able to tell you that in four or five days, if it continues. If it continues to continue, it will be substantial, and many of these jobs will never come back,” he said, adding that America would also be “much closer to a balanced budget”.
The White House has already interrupted $ 18 billion and $ 2.1 billion in New York and Chicago infrastructure projects since the start of closing and has canceled nearly $ 8 billion in “new scam” funding, affecting projects in the Blue and Blue States.
