Douglas Murray: Spending mess shows Dems will try to stop Trump every step of the way — which is why he must act fast

The worst thing any government can do is to fail to act on its promises.

The prospect of a government shutdown came out of the machinations of Chuck Schumer and other Democrats .

They have spent recent days plotting to make sure that the spending bill they want to push through has enough bad things in it that they knew that Republicans couldnt vote for it.

President Trump has already responded by insisting that Republican lawmakers tear up the bipartisan agreement.

This is the sort of normalizing — including the normalization of violence — that the radical left has played with for years .

That is just one of the things that is going to have to change.

Musk and Trump want to make the federal budget leaner because no country can just keep raising and raising government spending and continuously pushing up the debt ceiling.
