I am mad that there is a government shutdown because of our goofball president Trump. I wonder like even when the Disney Fox closes at the end of this month after getting remaining regulatory approval from Brazil and Mexico if the government shutdown is still ongoing will it affect the Disney Fox merger closure since they have to also sell off the Fox regional sports network to satisfy the US DOJ?

The agreement is with a Judge (not impacted by the shut-down) and Disney has 90 days to execute it after the deal closes. The shut-down will have no affect on the merger timing!
An FB lady friend wrote this article for early last Feb. on why those big company unions are bad. She even mentions Fox News namesake William Fox several times. newsweek.com/why-media-mega-mergers-wont-benefit-you-and-me-799667
I seriously doubt Fox boss Murdoch and Disney boss Iger paid attention to history seeing as how William's Fox attempt at a media buy-out/merger was a factor in his media downfall.Fox
It is nearing the end of the Fox Empire through 20th Century Fox as we know it. Mr. Fox, Roy, Walt, and Ub Iwerks (third co-founder of the Disney Company) would probably be ashamed at such a pending union. Through its predecessors, 20th Century Fox has over 103 years of movie studio existence. Heck, it is the 3rd oldest major American movie company after Universal and Paramount, respectively. So I hope Brazil says "no". Just because it looks like Brazil might say "yes", that doesn't necessarily mean they will make a decision that says "yes".

Trolling.
Like Barthollmr4 said this has nothing to do with the government shut down. As for your views on
Trump they ate political and have no place on this thread. If you want to post your views on him post them on the politics section and not here

So, what's left of Murdoch's 21st Century Fox is going to be just "Fox."
So, what will Disney call the Fox entertainment assets they are getting?

Disney is better off dropping the Fox part of the names as soon as possible to prevent market confusion. But they haven’t announced anything officially yet.

Who will be in charge? Iger or Murdoch? It will be fun to watch the power struggle and large egos in play once the ink dries on the contract.

Well, Iger is CEO and the Murdoch's will collectively own 6% of New Disney. But, no Murdoch will be part of the company, and I'm not sure if anyone will be getting a board seat from this. So the Murdoch's will have influence, but not enough to dictate.

Two events for the "New Fox" yesterday! (Source SEC.Gov)
The New Fox purchased 6,022,258 Shares of Roku
The New FOX Filed registration Form 10, with the SEC, basically becoming an active Corporation, and Registering the New Securities (Both a Class A and Class B Common Share). The shares will be listed on the NASDAQ. The Form is dated January 7th, but states It is subject to adjustment and completion.

Since this is a family-friendly forum I can not spew out profanity, but I am happy that Brazil is set to approve soon, but dang Mexico please at least before Brazil approve it with conditions, so it can meet the end of January deadline.

I suspect that Disney already knows what is happening with Mexico and that is why so much of the paperwork is in motion now.
