Moreover, Trump revealed that they essentially want to reverse his entire agenda to keep the government open<\/p>\n<p>As The Gateway Pundit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2025\/09\/senate-democrats-block-house-passed-stopgap-measure-as\/\">reported<\/a>, the US Senate on Friday rejected two measures to fund the government as a shutdown loomed. Both measures needed 60 votes to pass.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate rejected a Trump-backed House-passed stopgap bill 44-48 and blocked a Democrat version 47-45. The Trump-backed stopgap bill would have funded the government until November 21.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tgp-post-inline-1\">\n<div class=\"adcovery-postinline-01\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Following the vote, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries blamed Republicans and Trump for the looming shutdown. They also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2025\/09\/20\/trump-democrats-shutdown-meeting-00574336\">demanded<\/a> a meeting with Trump.<\/p>\n<p>After considering their request for a meeting, Trump gave them both the stiff arm on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter reviewing the details of the unserious and ridiculous demands being made by the Minority Radical Left Democrats in return for their Votes to keep our thriving Country open,\u201d Trump wrote. \u201cI have decided that no meeting with their Congressional Leaders could possibly be productive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo the Leaders of the Democrat Party, the ball is in your court. I look forward to meeting with you when you become realistic about the things that our Country stands for. DO THE RIGHT THING!\u201d He added.<\/p>\n<p>Trump then revealed Schumer and Jeffries\u2019 full INSANE demands for keeping the government open. It\u2019s even worse than previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2025\/09\/senate-democrats-block-house-passed-stopgap-measure-as\/\">reported<\/a>, with transgender surgery for minors and allowing men to play women\u2019s sports included.<\/p>\n<p>Absolutely shameless.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are threatening to shut down the Government of the United States unless they can have over $1 Trillion Dollars in new spending to continue free healthcare for Illegal Aliens (A monumental cost!), force Taxpayers to fund Transgender surgery for minors, have dead people on the Medicaid roles, allow Illegal Alien Criminals to steal Billions of Dollars in American Taxpayer Benefits, try to force our Country to again open our Borders to Criminals and to the World, allow men to play in women\u2019s sports, and essentially create Transgender operations for everybody,\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI look forward to meeting with them if they get serious about the future of our Nation. We must keep the Government open, and legislate like true Patriots rather than hold American Citizens hostage, knowing that they want our now thriving Country closed. I\u2019ll be happy to meet with them if they agree to the Principles in this Letter. They must do their job! Otherwise, it will just be another long and brutal slog through their radicalized quicksand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"tgp-post-above-comments\">\n<div class=\"adcovery-postbelow-01\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2025\/09\/president-trump-tells-chuck-schumer-hakeem-jeffries-pound\/\">President Trump Tells Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to Pound Sand After They Beg for Meeting While Trying to Shut Down Govt. \u2013 Reveals Their Full Insane Demands for Keeping Govt.
