WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said he will meet with his budget director Russell Vought on Thursday to determine which "Democrat Agencies" to cut, as he looks to inflict pain on his political opposition in the second day of a government shutdown.
"I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity," Trump said in a social media post.
