President Trump praised Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Friday for his support of the Republican-led temporary funding measure, which aimed to prevent an imminent government shutdown scheduled for Saturday.

Taking to his Truth Social platform, Trump shared his approval, stating: “Congratulations to Chuck Schumer for doing the right thing — Took ‘guts’ and courage! The big Tax Cuts, L.A. fire fix, Debt Ceiling Bill, and so much more, is coming. We should all work together on that very dangerous situation. A non pass would be a Country destroyer, approval will lead us to new heights. Again, really good and smart move by Senator Schumer. This could lead to something big for the USA, a whole new direction and beginning! DJT”

The former president’s acknowledgment of Schumer’s decision highlighted a rare moment of bipartisan cooperation in Washington’s often contentious political landscape.
