After a month since US Shutdown, the entire nation remains under the cloud as of what lies ahead in their future as the President remain adamant over his decision of building the wall over US-Mexico Border citing reasons of National Security.
Since the turnover in Congress from November, the whole scenario changed drastically as the Democrats gain the majority in the house and refuse to sanction the bill for Trump’s wall. They believe this 5.7bn US dollars budget for the wall would not bring much effect to the National Security and suggests for better proposals. However, Donald is very determined on building that wall as he promised to his supporters during the election and is one of the primary purposes of his presidency- backing off from his decision right now would mean failure for the Republicans and there is a high chance that he would lose ‘Public Support’ in the upcoming elections. In such circumstances, where he felt cornered- opt for Shutdown to pressurize the Democrats and put things according to his plans.
However, it seems that the month-long shutdown had seen the President receive public dissatisfaction after over an 80,000 federal workers did not receive their weekly paychecks and every day the US Stock Market continues to lose over 2bn, despite the disintegrating economy of theirs! With passing time, the protests will continue to grow stronger, and eventually, someone has to make the first move, but the question now is WHEN?
