President Donald Trump threatened to fire scores of federal workers as the US hurtles toward a shutdown with Democrats and Republicans at an impasse to fund the federal government.“We may do a lot and that’s only because of the Democrats,

With time running out, the president thought it’d be good to target Democrats with a video that was equal parts vulgar, racist and dishonest.

"You know the second the government shuts down, President Trump is going to be like..." the "Tonight Show" host teed up the gag.

As the US government barrels toward a shutdown, President Donald Trump shared a racist video on social media, which appears to be AI-generated, depicting House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wearing a sombrero and a mustache and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer speaking in a fake voice.

President Donald Trump has said his administration “may” fire “a lot” of federal workers if the US government shuts down this week, raising the stakes as lawmakers appeared unable to break an impasse over funding.

Vice President JD Vance said a government shutdown is likely after Trump met with Republican and Democratic congressional leaders as the funding deadline nears.

Those dynamics could change Monday, when the president has agreed to host Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., Johnson and Thune. Democrats believe the high-stakes meeting means the GOP is feeling pressure to compromise with them.
