Food is a basic human right, But Donnie doesn't care about that. He'd obviously rather go into trillions of dollars of debt to spend our money on tax breaks for his billionaire buddies.
In an interrview on Faux on Monday night he told Lara Ingraham
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, SNAP has gone from, like, $7 billion to many times $7 billion. And the people keep talking about SNAP, but SNAP is supposed to be veered down and out. You really, really have – that’s what the purpose of it – people, they get it, they walk in, and they get it automatically now. So, the number is many times what it should be. It’s disgraceful.
LAURA INGRAHAM: Can we – can we change that?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: You wouldn’t have been able – I’ll tell you what. This country would have been busted, 100% busted, within five months into a new administration if I didn’t win.
LAURA INGRAHAM: Can we – can we reform SNAP and these benefits so they’re used for the people who really need them?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Yeah, I think we can reform it. Sure. It’s meant for people – and you know what it does is it really puts the country at jeopardy. People that need it have to get it. I’m all for it. But people that are able-bodied, can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it’s easier, that’s not the purpose of it.
An awful lot of people on SNAP are already working full time, but not getting paid enough to survive without it, even government workers.
"This country would have been busted, 100% busted, within five months into a new administration if I didn’t win."
Whoah, whoah, whoah there, Donnie. Wait a minute. -Are you REALLY saying that the richest country in the history can't afford to feed its people? -And of coursef Laura Ingraham goes along with this.
These people are clearly not living in the real word along the rest of us. THEY'VE never been hungry in their lives. Why should they give a shit if kids, seniors, disabled people and vets starve to death? It doesn't affect them.
The Trump administration also recently got rid of the report on hunger in the US, which has been going on for decades. Yeah, who needs that when you don't care about starving people here? might as well save a couple bucks.
And he continues to tank the economy.
Right. What a complete load of bullshit.
Trump was not forced to do this, as he claimed. SNAP payments have never been halted under any previous shutdown. It was only an excuse he used to apply pressure on the Dems, in his typical mob style fashion.

He can kick and scream all he likes... but a PResident is not a King. And after the midterms next year? THE AMERICAN ELECTORATE WILL EAT THESE PEOPLE ALIVE.
Hrm, how to put it... What would happen tomorrow if Trump died tonight? Would the danger die with him?
I don't believe we have any hope of seeing justice for any of his crimes; even if he was arrested by a pristine justice system, somehow magically purged of corruption, right at this exact moment, I believe he'd be dead of natural causes long before trial. He's already past tense. And I don't believe his will can be stopped in any meaningful way via a system that's been warped into a ludicrous game of fascist Calvinball. The problem is that Trump was always just a gold-plated idol, never a god. I'm worried that he's also an unwitting scapegoat, being used to direct attention away from the much greater danger. I'm worried that we're way behind in some endgame shit, and he's nothing but a distraction tactic.
While his administration is in office, there'll be mayhem no matter what.
He's definitely more of a symptom than the disease.
StarvingAmericans...Unfortunately still rings true.
