  1. And how many more days do we need until it’s over 50%? Inquiring minds want to know.

  2. Wow it’s almost like he’s really bad at running a government.

    Good things that’s not his job-

    oh wait…oh shit, oh fuck.

  3. This is Trump’s third government shutdown.

    There were NO government shutdowns under Biden.

  4. I’m guessing before this shutdown (his 3rd) is done, it will push him well over 50%. There’s a very good reason this time tho! They can’t vote to release the Epstein files with the government shutdown.

  5. That’s because democrats want to expand the budget during a conservative dominated congress rather than address republican over spending. This manuver is only backfiring on democrat approvals, conservatives are getting too much positive publicity for the shutdown

  6. THE KING OF SHUTDOWNS! No other POTUS has more shutdowns than Strokamata!

  7. If you like that calculate how much of the current national debt was created under Trump…

  8. FUCK PENIS DUCK FUCK FUCK PENIS PENIS THE LIBS ARE ATTACKING ANCIENT MESOPETAMJA

  9. I’m actually quite okay with not having any more historical moments for a while.

  10. Put this into gpt (cause why not):

    Short answer: Yes — that meme was basically true at the time.

    How the numbers work (standard definition)

    Using the commonly cited list of federal shutdowns that actually furloughed workers (since 1980):

    Shutdown days by year (full days):

    1980: 1

    1981: 1

    1990: 3

    1995 (Nov): 5

    1995–96: 21

    2013: 16

    2018 (Jan): 3

    2018–19: 35

    Total through Jan 2019 = 85 days. Trump’s two shutdowns total 38 days (3 + 35).
    38 ÷ 85 ≈ 44.7% → ~45%. 

    Important caveats

    This counts post-1980 “true” shutdowns (after the Civiletti opinions) that led to furloughs; earlier 1977–80 funding gaps weren’t full shutdowns and are usually excluded. 

    Since then, there have been additional shutdown days (e.g., 2025), so Trump’s share is now lower than ~45% on an all-time basis. 

  11. He’s the best at government shut downs. Nobody knows more about government shut downs than him. People say he’s the god of government shut downs.

  12. To be fair, while this stat is true, the budget act that allowed shutdowns to happen when reconciliation doesn’t happen started in 1974.
