Trump's Travel Amid Shutdown

President Donald Trump maintains travel during the ongoing government shutdown, including trips to Mar-a-Lago and abroad.
This contrasts with his isolation during a similar crisis in 2018.
Critics say he attends events such as a Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago while Americans face hardship due to the shutdown.
Polls show the public largely blames him and the Republican Party for the impasse, while he resists negotiations unless Democrats accept his terms.
