The government has been shutdown for far too long. And the president has had enough of it.
And Trump made one demand from Congressional Republicans that is dropping jaws.
Trump Demands Bold Action: End the Filibuster to Crush Democrat Shutdown Chaos
President Donald Trump, fresh from a triumphant Asia trip, fired off a late-night Truth Social post on Thursday, rallying Republicans to unleash the “nuclear option” and dismantle the Senate filibuster to slam the door on the Democrats’ month-long government shutdown.
With the crisis grinding on, Trump’s call to arms exposes the Democrats’ hypocrisy—they plotted to nuke the filibuster themselves during their Biden-era power grab, only to be thwarted by principled holdouts like Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema.
Trump’s message cuts straight to the heart: It’s time for Republicans to seize the moment and protect American families from radical spending schemes.
In his post, Trump reflected on a question dominating his return flight: “The one question that kept coming up, however, was how did the Democrats SHUT DOWN the United States of America, and why did the powerful Republicans allow them to do it? The fact is, in flying back, I thought a great deal about that question, WHY?”
He praised Majority Leader John Thune and Speaker Mike Johnson as doing a “GREAT job,” while blasting Democrats as “Crazed Lunatics that have lost all sense of WISDOM and REALITY.”
Trump’s diagnosis? A severe case of “Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)” fueling their desperate push for trillions in funds siphoned from U.S. healthcare to reward illegal immigrants—“People who have come into our Country illegally, many from prisons and mental institutions.” This, he warned, would devastate American citizens, but Republicans stand firm against it.
Exposing Democrat Hypocrisy on the Filibuster
Trump’s push for the nuclear option isn’t just strategy—it’s payback for Democrats’ own filibuster fantasies when they held the White House and Congress under Biden. Back then, they eyed the rule’s destruction to ram through their agenda, but Manchin and Sinema’s spine kept it intact.
Now, with Republicans in the driver’s seat, Trump sees the filibuster as a Democrat shield propping up the shutdown, blocking essential funding for border security, veterans, and everyday Americans.
By invoking the “TRUMP CARD,” he’s urging swift action to restore order and prioritize citizens over open-border giveaways.
A Winning Move for America First
Trump’s clarion call—“It is now time for the Republicans to play their ‘TRUMP CARD,’ and go for what is called the Nuclear Option — Get rid of the Filibuster, and get rid of it, NOW!”—signals a no-holds-barred fight against the shutdown’s economic pain, which has furloughed workers and stalled services.
Under Trump’s leadership, this bold step would empower Republicans to deliver on promises: secure borders, slash wasteful spending, and put America first. Democrats’ TDS-fueled obstruction ends here—Trump’s vision ensures a stronger, safer nation rises from the ashes of their failed tactics.
