Donald Trump said he will cut federal jobs and Democratic spending during the US government shutdown. He plans to meet Russell Vought, head of the Office of Management and Budget, to decide which Democrat agencies to cut. Trump called these agencies a political scam. The cuts may be temporary or permanent. Trump praised Democrats for giving him this chance. He has already cut $8 billion in climate funding to 16 states and frozen $18 billion for New York City projects. Mass firings will target agencies not aligned with his priorities. This move is part of a plan called Project 2025 to reduce federal government size and power. Trump started these actions since January 2025. The government shutdown began recently, and layoffs could be in the thousands. (Updated 2 Oct 2025, 23:26 IST; source: link)
