President Trump labeled Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought the “grim reaper" Thursday, as the Trump administration prepares to move forward with threatened layoffs amid the government shutdown.

The president posted a video to Truth Social depicting Russell as the grim reaper who “wields the pen, the funds and the brain.”

The reaper could be seen in the 67-second video, generated by AI, walking through a dark hallway that has portraits of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).
