The two longest shutdowns in the history of the United States of America have occurred under Donald J. Trump.

Trump is hosting Great Gatsby parties, traveling, golfing, and doing everything except trying to end the shutdown. He doesn't seem to care that much that it is happening. And the entire reason it is happening is because Trump's Big Beautiful Bill did not contain Affordable Care Act subsidies.

It is incorrect to say that what is happening is common under all administrations. This dysfunction is uniquely Trumpian.
