The Story w/ Martha MacCallum: Trump, Musk, and the Government Shutdown Showdown!

🔥 💥

On the March 11 episode of “The Story with Martha MacCallum,” Martha broke down the latest political chaos — and Trump and Musk are at the center of it all. 😎🔥

👉 Government Shutdown Fight:
✅ The House of Representatives narrowly passed a spending bill with a 217-213 vote — but the fight isn’t over yet:
• $6 BILLION increase in defense spending ✅
• $13 BILLION cut in non-defense spending ✅
✅ The bill gives Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) greater control over budget reallocation — and that’s driving Democrats insane. 😆
✅ The bill now heads to the Senate, where it needs bipartisan support to avoid a government shutdown.

👉 Trump’s Role in the Shutdown Fight:
✅ Trump backed the bill — calling it a “common sense solution” to stop wasteful spending.
✅ Trump: “We’re cutting the fat and putting America First.” 💪
✅ Trump also warned Democrats:
• “If you shut down the government, you’re responsible — not us.” 😎

👉 Musk and DOGE Take Center Stage:
✅ The bill gives Elon Musk broad power to:
• Shift government funds without congressional approval ✅
• Streamline agencies and reduce staffing ✅
• Eliminate “woke” programs and DEI funding ✅
✅ Democrats are panicking — claiming that giving Musk control over the budget is “dangerous.”
✅ Musk: “We’re not cutting programs — we’re cutting waste.” 🔥

👉 Economic Uncertainty:
✅ The markets dropped following news of the spending bill fight:
• S&P 500 and Nasdaq both down over 2% ❌
• Wall Street is worried about instability if the government shuts down ❌
✅ But Trump downplayed the market reaction:
• “This is short-term pain for long-term gain — we’re fixing decades of bad decisions.”

👉 Democrats’ Meltdown:
✅ Senate Democrats are already threatening to block the bill — claiming it’s a “power grab” for Trump and Musk.
✅ Trump fired back:
• “If Democrats vote against this bill, they’re voting for waste, fraud, and corruption.” 🔥

👉 Martha’s Mic Drop Moment:
✅ “This isn’t just about money — this is about Trump and Musk versus the deep state.”
✅ “If this bill passes, the swamp loses control — and that’s why they’re scared.” 😎🔥

💥 Translation: Trump and Musk are cleaning house — and the deep state is PANICKING.

America First is back — and they can’t stop it. 😎🔥
