President Donald Trump canceled a planned meeting with top congressional Democrats this week as the deadline to keep the government funded quickly approaches.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., were set to meet with Trump on Thursday. But Trump said he saw no point in talking with them given what he called their “unserious and ridiculous demands,” Fox News reported.

Lawmakers are out of Washington for Rosh Hashanah. The Senate is scheduled to return Sept. 29, while the House is not expected back until after the Sept. 30 funding deadline passes.

Trump announced the cancellation in a lengthy Truth Social post, blasting Schumer and Jeffries for promoting “radical Left policies that nobody voted for.”

“I have decided that no meeting with their Congressional Leaders could possibly be productive,” Trump said.

The decision came days after Schumer and Jeffries sent Trump a letter blaming him and Republicans for risking a shutdown. They attacked the GOP-backed short-term extension as a “dirty” bill loaded with partisan policy riders. They warned it would undermine Affordable Care Act subsidies, threaten hospitals and extend “the Republican assault on healthcare.”

“With the September 30th deadline fast approaching, Republicans will bear responsibility for another painful government shutdown because of the refusal of GOP congressional leadership to even talk with Democrats,” they wrote.

Trump countered that the Democrats’ measure would repeal Medicaid reforms in what he has described as his “big, beautiful bill.” He also argued it would eliminate the law’s $50 billion rural hospital fund.

“We must keep the Government open, and legislate like true Patriots rather than hold American Citizens hostage, knowing that they want our now thriving Country closed,” Trump wrote.

“I’ll be happy to meet with them if they agree to the Principles in this Letter,” he added. “Otherwise, it will just be another long and brutal slog through their radicalized quicksand.”

Jeffries fired back Tuesday during a press conference in Brooklyn.

“The statement that Donald Trump issued today was unhinged, and it related to issues that have nothing to do with the spending bill that is before the Congress, and the need to try to avoid a government shutdown,” he said.

Jeffries also called House Democrats back to Washington for a Monday evening caucus meeting. The move was designed to contrast with Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., who sent House Republicans back to their districts while urging the Senate to act.

Schumer likewise criticized Trump and warned that “Donald Trump will own the shutdown.”
