Bitcoin Investors Watch as Trump Says “We’re Winning” in U.S. Government Shutdown

COINOTAG News on October 5 reports the ongoing government shutdown persists as the administration frames the stalemate within broader efforts to curb federal spending through fiscal discipline and intensified budgetary negotiations.

Asked about an end to the impasse, President Trump replied, “Very well. We are winning, and we are substantially reducing costs!”—a remark that reflects the Republican Party‘s stated priority on cost containment rather than immediate concession.

Nevertheless, lawmakers left Washington over the weekend without securing a bipartisan funding deal to reopen the government, leaving appropriations talks and the near-term funding gap unresolved while formal negotiations continue.
