  1. Government shutdowns were not a thing until 1980.
    As of Oct 20 2025, there have been 106 days that the government has been shut down.
    Of those 106 days, 58 of them were under Trump, more than half and growing.
    Trump has had the government shut down more than President’s Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton, Dubya, Obama and Biden… combined!
