The shutdown ended after the House passed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-passes-stop-gap-bill-funding-government-through-february\/\" title=\"House Passes Stop...Gap ... Funding Government Through February\">short-term continuing resolution<\/a>, largely supported by Republicans and a few Democrats, which the president signed into law late Wednesday night. In his remarks, Trump criticized Democrats for trying to leverage funding for &#8220;illegal aliens&#8221; and called for abolishing the Senate filibuster to prevent future shutdowns. He also highlighted his economic policies as beneficial in lowering prices and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >proposed directing healthcare funds directly<\/a> to Americans rather than through insurance companies, criticizing the Affordable Care Act. The shutdown was historically long, driven by Democratic demands for healthcare concessions, surpassing the prior record set in 2018.  <\/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 rages at Democrats and the filibuster in signing bill to end government shutdown<\/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_2399885\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3881888\/trump-affordability-dead-issue-recent-proposals-say-otherwise\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> ended the government shutdown late Wednesday night, heaping a healthy dose of blame on Democrats for &ldquo;inflicting massive harm&rdquo; over the past 43 days.<\/p>\n<p>The House passed a short-term&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/continuing-resolution\/\">continuing resolution<\/a>, previously approved by the Senate,&nbsp;to fund the government through the end of January earlier Wednesday evening.

First, he reiterated claims that his economic policies are driving down prices, citing a report from Walmart, and subsequently sought to undermine criticism of the GOP for failing to extend expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits, set to expire by the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m calling today for insurance companies not to be paid. But for the money, this massive amount of money, to be paid directly to the people of our country, so that they can buy their own healthcare, which will be far better and far less expensive than the disaster known as Obamacare,&rdquo; he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Six House <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3866161\/biden-labor-rule-gop-midterm-elections-boost\/\">Democrats<\/a> broke from the caucus and voted for the bill: Reps.
