周一,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普谴责民主党应为政府部分停摆负责,因为共和党人和民主党人尚未就国土安全部资金问题达成协议,同时他还吹嘘其政府在经济和犯罪等问题上取得了所谓的“胜利”。
特朗普在空军一号上对记者讲话时,吹嘘了“出色的财务数据”,如低通胀和燃油价格下跌。
“出色的财务数据,你们看到了低通胀,非常低的通胀。价格下跌,大幅下跌。在许多地方,汽油价格低于每加仑2美元,这是所有人都未曾预料到的,”特朗普表示,尽管全国汽油均价接近每加仑3美元,而燃油价格最低的地区的州平均价格仍高于2美元。

“但我是按照最初的‘演习,宝贝,演习’指示来做的。价格大幅下降。汽油和石油以及天然气价格的走势,也带动了其他许多高价商品价格下跌……我们继承了烂摊子,现在我们让国家重回正轨,”他继续说道。
当被问及国土安全部资金导致的部分停摆时,特朗普称这是一场“民主党停摆”,并声称“与共和党无关”,指责民主党人因犯罪率下降而不满,而他将这些归功于自己的政策,尽管有数据显示,在他重返白宫之前,主要城市的谋杀和其他暴力犯罪率已经开始下降。
“这是民主党造成的停摆。这与共和党无关,是民主党导致了停摆。他们对犯罪数据如此出色感到不悦。他们对‘黑人的命也是命’运动的势头感到非常不满,”他说道。

民主党人在本月早些时候联邦特工在明尼阿波利斯枪杀两名美国公民后,要求对移民和海关执法局(ICE)进行更严格的监督和改革。
“他们不希望有选民身份证,因为他们想在选举中作弊,”总统补充道,指的是众议院通过的《保障美国选民资格法案》(SAVE),该法案要求联邦选举中的选民通过照片身份证和护照或出生证明等其他文件证明公民身份,而民主党人一直抵制将此纳入长期资金法案。
“他们不希望有邮寄选票。他们想终止邮寄选票,共和党人坚持要求的另一件事是公民身份证明。而民主党人不愿意提供公民身份证明,也不希望有选民身份证,”他补充道。

总统唐纳德·特朗普在飞往华盛顿特区的空军一号上向媒体发表讲话时,对记者表示,尽管存在停摆,他仍会继续推进下周的国情咨文演讲。
President Donald Trump on Monday blamed Democrats for the partial government shutdown, as Republicans and Democrats have yet to reach a deal on Department of Homeland Security funding, while he also touted what he deemed as wins for his administration on issues such as the economy and crime.
Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump boasted of “great financial numbers” such as low inflation and falling fuel prices.
“Great financial numbers, you saw low inflation, very low inflation. Prices are down. Way down. Gasoline is less than $2 a gallon in many places, which nobody expected to see,” Trump said, although the national average for gas is closer to $3 and state averages in areas with the cheapest fuel still remain above $2.

“But I did this going by the initial expression of drill, baby, drill. Prices are coming down very strongly. And as goes gasoline and oil and gas, so goes the rest of other products that are high … We inherited a mess, and we’ve brought our country back,” he continued.
When asked about the partial shutdown over DHS funding, Trump said it is a “Democrat shutdown” that has “nothing to do with Republicans,” accusing Democrats of being upset with falling crime numbers, which he took credit for, even as data shows murder and other violent crime had been on the decline in major cities before his return to the White House.
“This is a Democrat shutdown. This has nothing to do with Republicans, and Democrats shut down. They’re upset that the crime numbers are so good. They’re very unhappy that there’s a movement,” he said.

Democrats have demanded stricter oversight and reforms of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following the fatal shootings last month of two U.S. citizens by federal agents in Minneapolis.
“They don’t want voter ID because they want to cheat in elections,” the president added, referring to the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act passed by the House that would impose stricter requirements in federal elections for voters to prove citizenship through photo ID and other documentation such as a passport or birth certificate, a measure Democrats have resisted including in long-term funding bills.
“They don’t want Mail-In ballots. They want to end mail-in ballots, and one other thing that [Republicans] are insisting on is proof of citizenship. And the Democrats don’t want to give proof of citizenship. They don’t want to give voter ID,” he added.

Still, Trump said he is willing to meet with Democrats to discuss a plan to end the shutdown, but stressed that “we have to protect our law enforcement” and that immigration officers have “done a great job” in removing “criminals that were brought in.”
The president also said he would still give his State of the Union speech scheduled for next week if there is still a shutdown.
