Trump opposes deal to avert government shutdown

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Doing the rounds on cable news to promote the deal ahead of Trump's statement, Johnson told Fox News: "Here's the key: by doing this, we are clearing the decks, and we are setting up for Trump to come in roaring back with the America First agenda.
53% : Trump holds huge sway over Republicans, who currently control the House of Representatives and will also control the Senate when he returns to office on January 20.
45% : Government departments and services from national parks to border control will begin shuttering Saturday unless an agreement is reached.
32% : But Trump and several of his high-profile allies, including tech billionaire Elon Musk, balked at extra spending in the text that ballooned costs, all but killing its chances of getting to President Joe Biden's desk before departments begin shuttering.
30% : Suggesting that concessions to Democrats in the bill were "a betrayal of our country," Trump called in a joint statement with Vice President-elect J.D. Vance for Republicans to "GET SMART and TOUGH.""If Democrats threaten to shut down the government unless we give them everything they want, then CALL THEIR BLUFF," he said.
