The official White House account is blaming Democrats for the potential government shutdown

Fun facts:

i) Republicans have the trifecta (unless they’re trying to push some stuff that actually needs a supermajority in the Senate).

ii) Every shutdown in the past 30 years happened with Republicans running the House.

iii) "A shutdown falls on the president’s lack of leadership. He can’t even control his own party and get people together in a room. A shutdown means the president is weak" - Donald J Trump 2013

Different interview, same message.

Update to this: Republicans actually need some Democrat votes to pass the new budget. Let’s see how it plays out.
