Blue Press Journal (DC) – As the government shutdown enters its latest phase, President Donald Trump’s lack of engagement has sparked widespread criticism from lawmakers and federal workers. Despite the growing concerns, Trump has been largely absent from the public eye, opting instead to communicate through juvenile internet memes and tweets.
The President’s absence has led to speculation about his health, with some noting the unusual makeup on his hands, potentially indicating an IV or other medical treatment. This has only added to the concerns about his ability to lead the country during this critical time.
Since the Monday meeting with Democratic leaders, requested by Jeffries and Schumer, Trump has made no effort to bridge the gap between Democrats and Republicans to end the impasse. In fact, his actions have been described as “unhinged and unserious” by Representative Jeffries, who told NBC News, “Donald Trump is in the presidential witness protection program. No one can find him when it comes to the government shutdown issue because he knows he’s responsible for having caused it.”
Trump’s allies have attempted to shift the blame to Democrats, falsely claiming that they shut down the government to provide healthcare to migrants in the country illegally. However, this narrative has been widely debunked.
The President’s lack of engagement is a stark contrast to the efforts of previous presidents, who have worked tirelessly to end or avert government shutdowns. Trump’s absence has only exacerbated the situation, leaving federal workers and Americans to suffer the consequences of his inaction.
As the shutdown continues, it remains to be seen if Trump will take a more active role in resolving the crisis. Until then, his silence will fuel criticism about his ability to govern effectively.
