Trump and Budget Chief Vought's Unprecedented Government Shutdown
As the shutdown enters its third week, President Donald Trump stated that some Democratic-favored programs are "never going to come back."
President Donald Trump is making this government shutdown unlike any the nation has ever seen, giving his budget office rare authority to pick winners and losers — who gets paid or fired, which programs are cut or survive — in an unprecedented restructuring across the federal workforce.
The Office of Management and Budget is preparing to "batten down the hatches" with more reductions in force to come. Trump refers to budget chief Russ Vought as the "grim reaper," who has taken the opportunity to fund Trump's priorities, including paying the military while slashing jobs in health, education, and the sciences.
