Trump Renews Threat to Cut ‘Democrat Programs’ During Shutdown
"Two weeks after the start of the government shutdown, President Trump has seized on the stalemate for political gain, aiming to hurt Democrats while insulating his administration from the costs of the fiscal crisis he helped bring about.
Democrats and Republicans remain starkly at odds over how to reopen the government. But unlike previous presidents, Mr. Trump has been unwilling to mediate a truce. He has opted instead to stretch the limits of his power to cushion the blow for agencies and constituencies he supports, while embarking on a retribution campaign against his political foes.
That strategy came into clear view on Tuesday, as Mr. Trump publicly renewed his threat to strip away funding from Democrats’ priorities. He promised to release a list on Friday of “Democratic programs” slated for cuts if the government remained closed, saying that some were “never going to open up again.” At the same time, Mr. Trump assured that “Republican programs” would be spared."
