Gavin Newsom has called out Donald Trump for golfing through the government shutdown.

The 79-year-old president has golfed on both weekends since the government ground to a halt on Oct. 1.

The shutdown has left 750,000 federal workers furloughed, and Trump has taken the opportunity to carry out mass layoffs. His budget goon Russ Vought gutted entire CDC departments in a Friday-night “massacre.” The next day, Trump was photographed hitting the links at his Virginia club.

Newsom on Sunday reposted the photo to slam the president for pursuing his usual weekend pastime amid a government crisis.

He shut down YOUR government.

He increased the cost of YOUR health care.

He raised YOUR taxes, while cutting taxes for billionaires.

Now he’s golfing.

He's either golfing or goofing. one or the other.

8. During his 2016 campaign

Donald Trump criticized President Obama for playing golf and promised, "I'm going to be working for you, I'm not going to have time to go play golf". Obama played way less than half as much golf as Trump. Seems that the MSM doesn't remember Trumps statement.
