The law (you do believe in the Rule of Law, don't you?) gives the President both directly and through his designees in the Executive Branch, a great deal of authority to set expenditure priorities during a government shut down.

But that's now what Trump claimed.

"Benefits dependent on shutdown resolution: In a post on Truth Social, Trump explicitly stated that "SNAP benefits will not be distributed until Congress ends the federal government shutdown"."

So, Trump and his admin deliberately decided not to use funds authorized by Congress and held in reserve for such purposes as the shutdown to inflict pain for political purposes - so Trump and co. are responsible.
