As America struggles, Donald Trump spent his weekend golfing at his Virginia country club while nearly two million federal workers either labor without pay or sit at home with empty accounts. He engineered this shutdown himself and now refuses to end it. His actions are not leadership. They are a taxpayer-funded act of cruelty, staged for the cameras, paid for by the very people he’s hurting.
Every round of golf he plays costs taxpayers between $5 to $7 million in Secret Service protection, travel, and security. By some estimates, his golf trips as president cost more than $160 million. Add that to the tab for this shutdown, and the price of Trump’s “leadership” could fund an entire year of paychecks for the workers he’s left stranded.
And let’s be honest: he cheats at golf just like he cheats at everything else.
The Human Cost
Across the country, 750,000 federal employees are furloughed, and another 1.3 million “essential” workers — air-traffic controllers, TSA officers, Border Patrol agents — are still on the job without pay. CNBC’s reporting shows airports tightening operations as exhausted staff keep showing up. The Hill notes that troops will miss paychecks by mid-October if Congress does not act, while U.S. Coast Guard guidance warns that Coast Guard members could miss mid-month pay within days.

They serve because the country depends on them. Trump plays because he thinks the country belongs to him.
Hostage Politics
House Speaker Mike Johnson declared, “I quite literally have nothing to negotiate.” Politico’s coverage shows Republican leaders refusing even to discuss health-care subsidies — the issue keeping millions insured.

This is hostage-taking, and Trump is teeing off while Americans foot the bill.
Health Care and Hypocrisy

At the heart of this standoff is the Republican refusal to extend Affordable Care Act premium tax credits. CNBC’s analysis shows that letting them expire would result in a spike in premiums and strip coverage from millions by 2026.
The choice is clear: extend the subsidies and protect families or let premiums explode while billionaires and golf resort owners pocket more.
We Know How to Fight
From the workers who marched for the eight-hour day to the soldiers who stormed Normandy, Americans don’t quit when tyrants demand obedience.
Reopen the government. Pay the workers. Protect the care that keeps families alive.
Trump’s golf score might be fake, but his damage is real, and we are done paying for his tantrums.
