He expressed that a shutdown will favor Trump and Musk, so sounds reasonable?

    Thanks, this makes sense!

    While I’d personally contend that a shutdown wouldn’t normally be considered “completely going off the rails” I can kinda also see the other point of view - not wanting to add to the current level of craziness.

      I agree, sadly a government shutdown is actually pretty normal for the US now. What I meant by that line (off the rails) was that Schumer is acting like this is just normal politics, so letting Trump continue to shoot himself in the foot should work out for the Democrats. However, I’m not so sure, this doesn’t seem like a normal admin and things have been escalating. Schumersl’s strategy won’t work if things continue to escalate at their current rate.
