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.”

    Honestly, I fully expected him to do something like pay out SNAP benefits to solid red states like Texas or Florida and deny them in places like New York or California. Then he would say “See we paid out what we could. If only Dems had opened the govefnment sooner you blue states could get your benefits.”

    He gives out to his base, and they can cheer how horrible he is to those nasty blue states.

    I really dont know where we go from here.

      alot of reds are also in blue states, so its likely go to hurt him anyways if he only pay out red states, also things being shutdown like shortage of ATC isnt going away,.

      I think everyone knows where we go from here. We’re just not supposed to say it out loud.
