Donald Trump was skewered by critics for spending his Saturday golfing while the federal government was shut down.

As the U.S. completed its fourth day of the 2025 federal shutdown, the president was golfing in Virginia. The news spread like wildfire on social media, with critics from all over weighing in.

HuffPost reporter S.V. Dáte said, "It is the fourth day of the government shutdown but DO NOT WORRY! It is not adversely affecting the president." "He is on the golf course, the 73rd time in this second term," he added.

MAGA satire account Cuckturd chimed in, "Trump closed down all National Parks, but approved continued funding for his golf expenses. Recreation for me, but not for the peasants that pay the bills."
