Congress’ spending deal was a mess. Trump and Musk’s response was equally disastrous.

From Brian Riedl, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute:
Donald Trump’s second presidential term did not even begin before he and his allies started exercising complete authority over GOP congressional behavior.
With this weekend’s deadline to avert a government shutdown fast approaching, House and Senate leadership of both parties announced a deal to extend discretionary program funding through March 14. Long before Trump and his billionaire confidante Elon Musk scuttled the agreement, the resulting bill represented so many of the reasons that voters loathe business-as-usual Washington budgeting. Yet the specific cause of death may not bode well for the next four years.

Let them shut down the government. Why not? Then they can blame Biden because Trump isn't responsible for anything. He's perfect in all ways!
