Trump has the country swamped in 'ludicrous dysfunction' before being sworn in: analyst
Raw StoryIn his column for the Washington Post, longtime political observer Dana Milbank marveled at Donald Trump's ability to gum up the works of the U.S. government more than a month before he is sworn in. As the analyst noted, the president-elect could have stayed on the sidelines as opposing members of the House hammered out a budget deal to make sure the government was still functioning when he assumes power on Jan. 20, but couldn't keep himself from meddling. Noting a shutdown would be the first since Trump was last in office, he noted that Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski pointed out, "It’s a fascinating mess," to which he added, "this is just the first act of what promises to be a four-year circus." "Musk’s destruction of the spending bill was particularly ugly, for it showed that, with Trump in charge, an unelected megabillionaire can bring the U.S. government to a halt by employing MAGA’s trademark mixture of vitriol, threat and disinformation."
