Headline: UNCAPTIONED: President Donald Trump Targets “Democrat Agencies” for Cuts Amid Shutdown
Caption: President Donald Trump Targets "Democrat Agencies" for Cuts Amid Shutdown. As the U.S. government shutdown moves into its third day, President Donald Trump says he and budget director Russell Vought are working out which "Democrat Agencies" to cut. He's urging Republicans to "clear out dead wood," showing no sign of giving Democrats the health-insurance subsidies they want in the funding bill. The deadlock has left about 750,000 federal workers without pay and closed many attractions though some sites like the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island remain open — which the Interior Department credits to "the leadership of President Donald J. Trump.". Republicans and Democrats continue to blame each other, with another Senate vote expected Friday. Essential staff such as air-traffic controllers and TSA agents are still working without pay but analysts say neither side is likely to move until everyday Americans start feeling the shutdown's impact.
