Trump said on Friday morning that if there is going to be a government shutdown, it should “begin now.”

“If there is going to be a shutdown of government, let it begin now, under the Biden Administration, not after January 20th, under ‘TRUMP,'” Trump wrote in a social media post.

“This is a Biden problem to solve, but if Republicans can help solve it, they will!” Trump added.

The message came after House Republicans on Thursday night failed to pass a Trump-backed spending proposal after 38 GOP members rejected the plan.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries continued his criticism of Republicans following the announcement that House Republicans have reached a deal to avert a government shutdown.

“The Musk-Johnson proposal is not serious. It’s laughable. Extreme MAGA Republicans are driving us to a government shutdown,” he said.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat, also chimed in, contending Democrats had a bipartisan deal on the table after many weeks of negotiating that was blown up by Musk.

“It’s an intolerable way of proceeding,” he said. “Democrats are going to try to figure out how to salvage the public good out of the wreckage just foist upon us.”
