In a few days, it will be a month since the government shutdown started after Democrats and Republicans failed to reach an agreement on a funding bill. In this period, a lot has happened: from smear campaigns to lies, to deception and scare tactics, President Donald Trump and his supporters have used every tactic from the Republican rulebook to attack their opponents, and they do not seem to be backing down anytime soon.
Republicans in power, including the President of the United States, have appeared before the public and shamelessly lied throughout the shutdown, blaming the Democrats for it. In reality, Trump had proposed his “Big Beautiful Bill” to Congress, hoping for it to be accepted without any modifications. However, the Democrats wanted to make necessary changes to the bill regarding Medicaid, Medicare, and other government programs that were excluded. Trump, unable to handle rejection, threatened to shut down the government and followed through on that threat.
