Trumpâs Shutdown Spectacular: $26B Slashed, Enemies Indicted, Universities Scared Straight
Welcome to the Trump government shutdown extravaganza, where $8 billion in clean-energy funding got the boot from 16 Kamala-voting states, $18 billion NYC infrastructure froze like a Manhattan winter, and Russ Voughtâ'Project 2025 Fame' guyâplots mass bureaucratic purges. Meanwhile, Trump enlisted 800 generals to practice urban combat training on domestic foes, universities begged to sign a 10-point conservative treaty (tuition freeze included), and James Comey became the star of a DOJ indictment sequel. Even Microsoftâs Lisa Monaco got the political pink slip threat for Biden ties. Oh, and the White House blamed Democrats so convincingly it borders on partisan art. Really, who knows democracy these days? Weâre all terrible drivers on this highway.

Only Trump can turn a government shutdown into a billion-dollar power grab, a military pep rally for war on cities, and a university dress code, all while blaming Democrats like itâs a new federal agency. This shutdownâs more like a showbiz horror-comedy with no intermission.
If hell freezes over, NYC infrastructure funding has already got a permanent ice bath. Meanwhile, Trumpâs turning federal workers into UNemployed actors in his very own Project 2025 dystopia.
Watching Trump co-pilot a shutdown feels like watching a toddler steer a bulldozerâ$26 billion trashed, universities shamed, generals told to fight city kids, all while blaming Democrats. Spoiler: no one gets out alive or sane.
