Palm Beach, Florida - As Donald Trump faces 91 felony charges in four criminal indictments, he is now calling on his fellow Republicans to shut down the government to save him from prosecution.

Late Wednseday night, Trump shared a post on his Truth Social platform about "a very important deadline" for his party coming at the end of the month.

"Republicans in Congress can and must defund all aspects of Crooked Joe Biden's weaponized Government that refuses to close the Border, and treats half the Country as Enemies of the State," Trump claimed.

"This is also the last chance to defund these political prosecutions against me and other Patriots," he added. "They failed on the debt limit, but they must not fail now. Use the power of the purse and defend the Country!"

The majority-Republican House has been unable to agree on a short-term funding bill. If they fail to do so before September 30, government funding will run out and the government will be forced to shut down.

The House is stacked with a handful of MAGA conservatives – including Jim Jordan, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Matt Gaetz, to name a few – who just might take Trump's request seriously.
