On October 1, a shutdown began in the United States, caused by the lack of an agreed budget in Congress. This is the second such event in seven years. During this period, many government agencies and programs are suspended, and most federal employees go on unpaid leave. Donald Trump said that the shutdown could be a reason for staff cuts and changes in the payment system. He blamed the Democrats for the crisis, arguing that their position on budget issues hindered its coordination. Among the disagreements were the issues of border protection, the cost of medical care for illegal immigrants and the agenda of gender reassignment. In Trump's first term, the shutdown lasted 35 days. At that time, 420 thousand employees worked without pay, and 380 thousand were sent on vacation. This paralyzed the work of departments, caused delays in transport systems, and the closure of parks and state museums. The Democrats used the situation for campaigning, distributing food to officials without a salary. Trump also treated the athletes at the White House to burgers from McDonald's, as the chefs were also on vacation.
