After Democrats sank his trimmed-down government funding bill, President-elect Donald Trump in a Truth Social post Friday morning said any potential shutdown should occur under President Biden. “If there is going to be a shutdown of government, let it begin now, under the Biden Administration, not after January 20th, under ‘TRUMP,’” he said, placing responsibility for the crisis squarely on Biden and Democrats. Trump framed the funding crisis as a reflection of Democratic leadership, stating, “This is a Biden problem to solve.” While signaling his willingness to allow a shutdown under the current administration, Trump also noted that Republicans stand ready to assist “if” Democrats are willing to negotiate. This comment highlights a conditional willingness for bipartisan cooperation, even as the GOP remains divided internally. As the clock ticks closer to the deadline, Trump’s post reflects his broader strategy to shape the narrative around the shutdown. For Biden and congressional Democrats, the crisis represents a test of their leadership. For Republicans, it offers an opportunity to emphasize fiscal responsibility while holding the current administration accountable. Trump’s remarks ensure that any fallout from a shutdown will be tied to Biden’s presidency, not his own.-https://mxmnews.com/article/16b882e9-004b-4c61-a4b8-4f558f50831a?trump-says-biden-must-own-failures-as-shutdown-deadline-nears-this-is-a-biden-problem
