In the US, when thousands of federal employees stayed at home due to government shutdown and were facing possible dismissal, President Donald Trump became active on social media. He first shared the admirers made by his supporters.
After this, Trump wrongly claimed that Democrats want to pay your healthcare money to illegal migrants. He then announced that he would meet his top budget advisor to decide which federal programs should be made permanent, which he described as a political scam.
Second day of shutdown, trump active online
All this happened before 8 am, while the government’s shutdown had entered the second day. Trump appeared to be choosing the way to be active on social media to face this complex situation. For the 79 -year -old President, this continuous online activism was extraordinary and the remaining part of his administration is also showing more interest in tightening and criticizing the Democrats than to interact with him.

Trump responsible for shutdown
Trump’s white house is accustomed to taking aggressive and tough stance in politics. This style continues from previous year’s campaign, which critics consider ruthless and repayment. The administration often does not leave a chance to target its opposition. Trump also adopted a similar online attitude during the last time government shutdown (December 2018 to January 2019). At that time, he tweeted 40 on the 30th day, including the criticism of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and thanks to the hard work of federal employees.
At that time most of the responsibility was put on Trump. According to the AP-NORC pole, about 70 percent of the Americans believed that Trump was responsible for the shutdown. The Trump eventually signed the demand for the government to reopen the government, leaving the demand for funding for the wall on his border.

President and Republican primarily responsible
Recently in a survey conducted by New York Times/Sienna, which took place before the shutdown began, it was found that a few voters believe that Trump and Republicans in Congress are responsible for this, while almost one-third people said that both sides are equally responsible. Another survey was conducted by Washington Post on 1 October, in which 47% of Americans believe that the President and Republican are prominently responsible, while 30% blamed Democrats.
