White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt issued a warning that thousands of federal employees could lose their jobs if the government shutdown persists. She indicated this situation could escalate political tensions in Washington. Leavitt further alleged that Democrats are exploiting the crisis for political gain.
Leavitt stated that the nation is now in the third day of a shutdown orchestrated by Democrats. She asserted that Democrats are holding the American people hostage by demanding free healthcare for illegal immigrants.
She pointed out that Republicans fully support passing a non-partisan, clean funding bill, which is the same bill that Democrats approved to reopen the federal government in March. However, the same Senate Democrats are now voting against this bill. Leavitt expressed an understanding that Democrats will likely change their stance soon and expressed hope that they will do so.
Leavitt highlighted the severe personal impacts of the ongoing government shutdown on millions of Americans. She noted that the 1.3 million men and women of the US military, including the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Space Force, who serve with honor and risk their lives to protect everyone, are not receiving their paychecks. Military families are already requesting food assistance due to the financial strain caused by the Democratic shutdown.
President Trump would end the reign of terror of the radical leftists in Portland. If Democrats do the right thing, this shutdown could end. But if it continues, layoffs will be an unfortunate consequence. Democrats brought the White House and the President to this situation by voting to shut down the government.
The President is deeply concerned about all the atrocities that have occurred in the Middle East in recent years. It is deeply unfortunate that he inherited this disarray from the Biden administration. During President Trump’s first term, the Middle East was on the path to peace and prosperity. Historic Abraham Accords were signed.
Israel was on the path to normalization with Arab and Gulf countries, and we hope this continues. However, the President has made it clear to Hamas that they must accept an acceptable and detailed proposal, or the consequences will be severe. He gave them a deadline of 6 p.m. on Sunday.
Leavitt believes that the entire world should hear the words of the President of the United States loudly and clearly. Hamas has the opportunity to accept this plan and move forward peacefully and prosperously in the region. If they fail to do so, the consequences will be very unfortunate.
