President Trump is breaking the longest government shutdown records

Does anybody notice that the federal government is shutdown now for 17 days despite the fact that there is also no federal budget?

Here is what Google said:
"No, the ongoing government shutdown, which began on October 1, 2025, is not the longest in history. As of October 17, 2025, it is the third-longest funding lapse in modern U.S. history. 

The longest government shutdowns on record are: 

  1. 1st longest: The 2018–2019 shutdown, which occurred under President Donald Trump, lasted 35 days.
  2. 2nd longest: The 1995–1996 shutdown, under former President Bill Clinton, lasted 21 days.
  3. 3rd longest: The current 2025 shutdown has now surpassed the 2013 shutdown under former President Barack Obama, which lasted 16 days.
