President Donald Trump is moving quickly to capitalize on the partial government shutdown that began this week, eyeing deep cuts to federal agencies he views as unnecessary or politically driven. On Thursday, he announced plans to meet with Russell Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, to pinpoint which departments deserve trimming. This comes just a day after funding lapsed, leaving parts of the government in limbo.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed surprise at the turn of events. “I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity,” he wrote. “They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

This statement points to Trump’s long-held goal of reducing federal bureaucracy, a theme he campaigned on heavily. With the shutdown providing a window for action, the administration could implement changes that reshape government operations for years. For instance, similar efforts during his first term targeted regulations seen as burdensome to businesses, and now, with control of the White House, such moves could accelerate without the usual congressional hurdles.

Trump’s focus on “Democrat Agencies” that he called “a political SCAM” suggests a targeted approach to slashing programs associated with progressive priorities. He tasked Vought with recommending whether cuts should be temporary or permanent, signaling a potential overhaul. Reports from Reuters indicate this meeting is set for later Thursday, where discussions will likely center on identifying inefficiencies in agencies funded under Democratic-led initiatives. This aligns with broader conservative efforts to rein in spending, especially as the national debt hovers around $37 trillion, a figure often cited by administration officials as unsustainable.
