A partial government shutdown in Donald J. Trump’s first term was the longest in U.S. history. In 2018, during Donald J. Trump’s first presidency, he said he would be “ proud ” to shut down the government if a deal was not reached that included funding he wanted for his proposed wall along the southern U.S. border.

Barring a pre-Christmas legislative miracle, the US government will plunge into a partial shutdown at midnight Friday after Musk tanked a year-end spending deal and the Trump doubled down with a demand for new debt spending authority that he never had a chance of getting through Congress.
