Schumer Shutdown continues as Dems Blame Trump, NOT themselves

1. Blame Framing: Ben repeatedly labels the event as the “Schumer Shutdown” or “Democrat Shutdown,” rejecting Democratic claims that Donald Trump and Republicans bear responsibility. It stresses that Republicans voted to keep the government open, while Democrats opposed the continuing resolution. 2. Attacks on Democratic Leaders: Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are highlighted as hypocritical, with past quotes cited to suggest they once opposed shutdown tactics they now support. Democrats are accused of using “Jedi mind tricks” to shift blame to Trump and mislead the public. 3. Trump Portrayal: While acknowledging Democrats call Trump “the most immature president,” the text defends him as a dealmaker standing firm on campaign promises. Trump’s stance on denying taxpayer-funded benefits to undocumented immigrants is presented as principled and in line with voter sentiment. 4. Immigration and Benefits: A central argument is that Democrats pushed for nearly $200 billion in healthcare subsidies for undocumented immigrants , which the commentary insists is the real cause of the shutdown. It characterizes Democrats as prioritizing “illegal aliens” over American citizens. 5. Broader Political Messaging: The commentary ties Democrats to “woke” spending, support for defunding police, and attacks on traditional values. Conservative solutions, such as aligning consumer spending with “patriotic companies” like Patriot Mobile, are promoted as a way to fight back. 6. Media Criticism: Mainstream outlets like ABC, NBC, and CBS are accused of acting as “state-sponsored media” for Democrats by ignoring positive economic news (such as stock market gains) while amplifying Democratic narratives. 7. Economic and National Security Angle: The shutdown is described as costing $400 million per day. Democrats are blamed for jeopardizing national security and undermining America’s global standing.
