Posting on Truth Social, Trump criticized Democrats for prolonging the shutdown, labeling them &#8220;crazy&#8221; and accusing them of wanting to redistribute healthcare funds to undocumented immigrants, including criminals and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >mentally ill individuals<\/a>. He praised GOP leaders like Speaker Mike Johnson and Senator John Thune for their efforts but urged Republicans to take stronger action by ending the filibuster, warning that Democrats would do the same if they returned to power. Trump also referenced his recent diplomatic trip to Asia, where he secured trade deals but was repeatedly questioned about the shutdown. His message emphasized using the filibuster&#8217;s removal as a political tool to &#8220;make America great again&#8221; and end the shutdown immediately.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump urges GOP senators to use &lsquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/thune-finds-senate-path-to-ease-trump-nominee-logjam\/\" title=\"Thune finds Senate path to ease ... nominee logjam\">nuclear option&#038;rsquo<\/a>; to &lsquo;make America great again&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2388056\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> has grown weary of Democrats&rsquo; efforts to prolong the government shutdown.

The fact is, in flying back, I thought a great deal about that question, WHY?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Trump praised Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Majority Leader Sen. John Thune (R-SD) for their efforts to end the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/government-shutdown\/\">shutdown<\/a>, then shifted the blame back to the Democrats, saying their desire to keep the government closed was a form of &ldquo;Trump Derangement Syndrome.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;&hellip;the Democrats are Crazed Lunatics that have lost all sense of WISDOM and REALITY. It is a sick form of the now &ldquo;legendary&rdquo; Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) that only comes from losing too much,&rdquo; the president posted. &ldquo;They want Trillions of Dollars to be taken from our Healthcare System and given to others, who are not deserving &mdash; People who have come into our Country illegally, many from prisons and mental institutions.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This will hurt American citizens, and Republicans will not let it happen,&rdquo; he added. &ldquo;It is now time for the Republicans to play their &ldquo;TRUMP CARD,&rdquo; and go for what is called the Nuclear Option &mdash; Get rid of the Filibuster, and get rid of it, NOW!&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>A key point Trump made was referencing previous attempts by Democrats to end the filibuster to pass their legislation. It would have succeeded if not for the efforts of former Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ). Trump highlighted this fact, urging Republicans to do it themselves. He warned that Democrats would have no reservations in doing so the next time they hold power.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3869757\/jd-vance-democrats-childlike-behavior-government-shutdown\/\"><strong>VANCE ACCUSES DEMOCRATS OF CHILDLIKE BEHAVIOR AFTER AVIATION SHUTDOWN ROUNDTABLE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Never have the Democrats fought so hard to do something because they knew the tremendous strength that terminating the Filibuster would give them,&rdquo; Trump said. &ldquo;Well, now WE are in power, and if we did what we should be doing, it would IMMEDIATELY end this ridiculous, Country destroying &ldquo;&rsquo;SHUT DOWN.&rsquo;&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If the Democrats ever came back into power, which would be made easier for them if the Republicans are not using the Great Strength and Policies made available to us by ending the Filibuster, the Democrats will exercise their rights, and it will be done in the first day they take office, regardless of whether or not we do it,&rdquo; Trump said in his post.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/government-shutdown\/\">government shutdown<\/a> enters its 31st day on Friday.
