In a dramatic display of political solidarity, the Democratic Party has once again voted against President Trump’s latest proposal aimed at boosting job growth, citing a firm and unwavering belief in the phrase, 'If Trump likes it, we can’t have it.'

Sources inside the party report that many lawmakers stayed awake late into the night brainstorming ways to reject the plan, held primarily in a Zoom call titled 'Everything He Touches Turns to Dust.'

Despite overwhelming evidence that the initiative would create thousands of jobs and stimulate economic growth, Democrats argued, 'We can’t make it too easy for him to take credit for something good. This isn’t just about policy; it’s about principle—our principle is called opposing Trump.'

The decision reportedly sparked an intense debate within party ranks about whether the phrase 'We are not the party of no' should be amended to read 'We are the party of heck no, McNope.'

In a show of further defiance, many Democratic members have begun drafting a resolution forbidding any positive outcomes from occurring until after 2024, even if it means inflicting some collateral damage on the American people.

Political analysts have pointed out this trend has left many Americans scratching their heads, with one voter stating, ‘I just want to know why bipartisan cooperation is suddenly a bad thing. Can we at least pretend we care about progress?’

As reaction from both sides of the aisle pours in, it’s clear the only thing uniting Congress these days is an intense fear of giving Trump a win. Meanwhile, citizens continue to wonder if they'd be better off without politicians who treat governance like a game of chess—where the only strategy is to knock over the king and call it a day.
