The President of the United States is facing criticism for his weekend golf decision for the second straight week.
The U.S. Government remains in a shutdown. The government has been shutdown for nearly two weeks. It’s one of the biggest and longest shutdowns of the U.S. Government in recent history. Unsurprisingly, both sides are blaming each other for the shutdown.
Meanwhile, President Trump was spotted at his Washington, D.C. golf club for the second straight weekend, while the U.S. Government is shut down, sparking some controversy on social media.

“Trump Spends Back-to-Back Weekends at His Golf Club as Shutdown Continues,” Patriot Takes wrote on X.
“Two weekends, two shutdown golf trips.”
Should the President of the United States be hitting up his golf club while the U.S. Government is shut down?
Fans have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to weigh in on the shutdown decision by President Trump.
“Getting outside and playing sports is healthy and normal,” one fan wrote.
“How many millions he spent in each of these trips? How much them cost to all Americans? While our military men & women, and all other federal employees are without pay. undoubtedly, the most corrupt President and administration in history,” one fan added.
“I did the same thing. Beautiful weather here,” one fan added.
“What else? It’s a hard part-time job. Remember how he screamed if Obama golfed … which wasn’t very often?!?!” another fan wrote.
“Good to know taxpayers can still pay for Trump’s golf amongst all the laid off and furloughed workers not getting paid due to #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown,” one fan added.
President Trump was part of a special golf video, too, as his granddaughter, Kai Trump, released a video of her one-on-one match with the President of the United States.
