President Trump didn’t mince words on Sunday, calling the Democratic Party “kamikazes” and declaring they have “no future” during an exclusive with Maria Bartiromo as the government shutdown grinds on. His blunt assessment came amid a standoff that has shuttered parts of the federal government since October 1 and left hundreds of thousands of Americans worrying about paychecks and services.
That shutdown, the president insisted, is actually an opportunity — not a crisis — to do what conservatives have long wanted: permanently cut wasteful giveaway programs Democrats defend. Trump made clear the White House will use the funding impasse to axe the kind of endless welfare expansions that have hollowed out personal responsibility and bled taxpayers dry.
Americans tired of the left’s endless spending binges should not be surprised by his assessment; the party that once touted competence has shown nothing but spectacle and self-destruction. Democrats intentionally pushed this fight over subsidies and spending, and now their political theater has handed Republicans leverage to force real reform rather than more empty promises.
On local matters, Mr. Trump didn’t hold back about New York City, warning the left’s mayoral hopefuls — names like Zohran Mamdani — that federal funds are not a blank check for radical experiments. He told viewers plainly that if local leaders don’t prioritize law and order and common-sense governance, Washington will rethink where taxpayer dollars go, and that is exactly the accountability voters deserve.
That insistence on law and order extends to the national level, where the administration has not been afraid to deploy federal assets and the National Guard to restore safety in cities run into the ground by soft-on-crime Democrats. Conservatives have watched in frustration for years while mayors ignored the carnage; federal intervention was overdue and is delivering tangible results where it’s been applied.
Meanwhile, the hypocrisy from the other side grows harder to stomach: even as Democrats lecture about compassion, deep-pocketed federal buys and questionable spending continue, like a controversial DHS aircraft purchase during the shutdown. If Democrats truly cared about taxpayers, they would stop playing politics and start prioritizing people over pet projects.
Hardworking Americans are watching which party will stand for fiscal sanity, secure streets, and common-sense governance — and it isn’t the party that cheers self-inflicted disaster. President Trump is playing the long game: use leverage, force change, and let the voters decide which side is finally ready to put the country first.
