In Video: BREAKING: Trump signs bill to end the government shutdown while taking aim at Democrats

A Message to the American People:

Today, the President is sending a clear message that the administration will not give in to extortion. The government shutdown, which lasted for seven weeks, was the longest in American history and was caused by the Democrats’ refusal to negotiate and pass a clean continuation of funding. The President explains that the Republicans voted 15 times for a clean continuation of funding, but the Democrats insisted on creating a standoff purely for political reasons.

The Damage Caused by the Shutdown

The President highlights the devastating impact of the shutdown on the country, including:

• 20,000 flights: Were cancelled or delayed, causing inconvenience and financial losses for millions of people.
• 1 million government workers: Were deprived of their paychecks, causing financial hardship for many families.
• Millions of Americans: Lost food stamp benefits, exacerbating food insecurity and economic hardship.
• Tens of thousands of federal contractors and small businesses: Were left unpaid, harming their livelihoods and the economy.

The President’s Call to Action

The President emphasizes that these actions should not be forgotten when Americans go to the polls for the midterm elections and calls for the termination of the filibuster to prevent such situations from happening again in the future. He notes that if the filibuster is terminated, legislation can be passed more easily and quickly, preventing further disruptions to the government and the economy.

Record-Breaking Stock Market and Economic Growth

The President highlights the positive economic news, including:

• Record-breaking stock market: The highest stock market price ever recorded in multiple markets.
• 48th record-breaking day: Under the current administration, breaking a record for the highest stock market price.
• Jobs and 401ks: Experiencing growth and setting new records.
• Walmart’s report: Revealing that the cost of Thanksgiving is 25% lower this year compared to last year, benefiting millions of Americans.

A Message to the American People

The President concludes by thanking his fellow Republicans, as well as a broad coalition of Americans, for their support during the shutdown. He urges the American people to remember the lessons of the shutdown and to demand change in the midterm elections.
