President Trump stepped in just in time.
America’s most iconic landmark will remain open — thanks to President Donald J. Trump.
While Democrats in Washington let political games push the nation into another government shutdown, Trump made sure the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island stayed open for millions of visitors.
Trump Steps Up as Democrats Step Back
The Department of the Interior confirmed that, under President Trump’s leadership, both sites will stay open to the public. This decision comes after Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul refused to provide state funds, choosing instead to point fingers at Republicans.
Her refusal was clear: if Lady Liberty’s torch went dark, she wanted Americans to blame “Washington Republicans.” But President Trump wouldn’t allow the symbol of freedom to be dimmed on his watch.
A Sharp Contrast With Failed Democrat Leadership
During the 2018–2019 shutdown, then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo had to use state resources to keep the sites open. This time, Hochul walked away — leaving it to President Trump to protect America’s history.
Trump’s decision safeguards the jobs of nearly 200 park employees and police staff, while ensuring that the more than 3.7 million annual visitors to Lady Liberty aren’t turned away.
Protecting Freedom in a Time of Crisis
Across the country, as many as 750,000 federal workers could face furloughs during the shutdown. But Trump prioritized America’s most important symbol of liberty. The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island remain open — standing tall as a beacon of hope for the world.
Bottom Line: Trump Leads, Democrats Fail
Once again, President Donald J. Trump showed true leadership when it mattered most. While Democrats played politics, Trump protected America’s heritage, our history, and the values that Lady Liberty represents.
Lady Liberty’s torch still shines today — because Trump made sure America’s freedom can never be shut down.
Kathy Hochul is a walking talking asshole who destroyed New York with her ignorance. Typical democrat behavior will show them the only thing she’s showing is f-in her own people who pay her outrageous salaries.
She’s as corrupt as they come and has accomplished nothing for the citizens of NY except waste taxpayers money and watch people die in her cities every day. She should as Tim Waltz for a couple of boxes of tampons so she could shove them in every orifice she has. This corrupt bitch belongs in prison eating apples through the cell bars. You can’t fix stupid and she’s so far over her head NY is the East Coast Cesspool of the United States just like California is the West Coast Cesspool of the United States Of America. Democrats destroyed this country in for years of brain dead Biden and his administration. Dumb mother F- ers
