President Trump said food benefits will only get paid once the shutdown ends, in a post on Truth Social Tuesday morning.

[…]

Zoom in: “SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden’s disastrous term in office,” Trump said on Truth Social, “… will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government.”

        Would be a PR blitz if Dems would actually start food donations to everyone in need right now. And I mean everyone

          It’s happening in this blue state, because our administration cares for people here, and has the capacity to help.

          The Dems don’t play favourites, as they’re rules-based and not loyalty-based. That’s why ignoring the process has worked so well for the GoP, and why the Dems won’t favour their loyalists.

      To play devil’s advocate, they are in the unenviable position of choosing whether their constituents will be denied food or healthcare.

      Yes the dems are fucks for Trump refusing to negotiate!?
      If dems give in, people will lose healthcare, Trump is fucking everybody over, but you choose to blame the ones NOT responsible!

      You are blaming the victim with your comment, and being here on lemmy, you should know better than to make such a moronic comment.

        Lol calm down, shouldn’t have said their voters yes. I’m not blaming them. I think they shouldn’t back down of course but try to help people by other means. Still talking about rich politics fucks tho
