In the midst of a national crisis due to the partial paralysis of government services, Donald Trump strongly criticized the Democratic Party on Sunday, March 22nd.
This marks a new direct attack by the President of the United States. After targeting the media in recent days, Donald Trump is now taking aim at the Democratic Party, his main political opposition. On Sunday, March 22nd, he used particularly strong words, calling them the “greatest enemy” of America, while praising ongoing operations in the Middle East.
“Now that Iran is gone, the biggest enemy of the United States is the Democratic Party, this extreme left party and totally incompetent! Thank you for your attention to this issue,” he emphasized in a message on Truth Social.
A Government Services Paralysis
This acerbic message follows numerous posts where the president refers to Democrats as an “extreme left party” with “cruel and indifferent” actions.
“Their treatment of the amazing people of our country is a real shame,” he posted on the evening of Saturday, March 21st.
Donald Trump’s anger stems from the partial shutdown of government services since mid-February, linked to the failure to adopt the 2026 budget. He accuses the Democratic Party of causing this deadlock.
A notable consequence: airport agents, considered essential personnel, have been working without pay for several weeks, with some resigning or choosing to work elsewhere in the meantime. Airport security lines have grown longer, and passengers often have to wait hours before reaching the boarding area.
In response to this crisis, Donald Trump announced the deployment of ICE agents on Monday, March 23rd, who have also been affected by the budget impasse, to streamline security checkpoints.
“Get ready. No more waiting, no more games!” he added on his social network.
However, until lawmakers reach an agreement on the budget for federal DHS employees, the crisis may escalate. Among other sectors affected by the shutdown, the official U.S. State Department account in French announced in late January that its updates would be limited until full resumption of its activities.
