Donald Trump just found another way to make history — by starving his own country.
While 40 million Americans brace for lost food benefits, the Trump administration is refusing to use a $5 billion emergency fund to keep the SNAP program, better known as food stamps, running during his government shutdown.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t a lack of money. It’s a lack of humanity.
The funds are sitting there, legally available, ready to prevent hunger. But Trump’s USDA decided it “would be illegal” to use them — even though past administrations used the same reserves to cover families during hurricanes and wildfires. Instead, the White House is holding the country’s hungriest hostage to a political tantrum.
At the same time, just blocks away, construction crews are busy gilding Trump’s new $300 million White House ballroom — funded by tech giants, defense contractors, and billionaire donors. Apple, Google, Palantir, Lockheed Martin — all chipped in so the president could have a private Versailles for his friends.
So yes, while Americans skip meals, the chandeliers are being hung.
If the shutdown continues into November, experts say benefits could vanish completely for millions.
Some states are scraping together their own emergency funds, but the USDA has warned they won’t be reimbursed. Others are simply out of options.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration is pretending Democrats are to blame — even though this crisis is entirely self-made.
“We’re only cutting Democrat programs,” Trump bragged earlier this month. Apparently, feeding hungry Americans now counts as a “Democrat program.”
Trump’s America will always find billions for marble floors and gold-plated chandeliers, but not a dime for a struggling mom trying to buy groceries.
It’s the clearest moral contrast you’ll ever see: a government that feeds billionaires while letting children go hungry.

You’re so full of shit. Democrats are holding the country hostage. They refuse to sign the same budget that Schumer authored because they want to include health care for non Americans. 10 million illegals that Biden let in. And the renovations are not being paid for by tax dollars. Stop lying to these poor ignorant sheep.
Maybe we'll see less and less fat asses in town, huh, Juan?
The group of beggars is associated with the communist party. Why doesn't Chuck Schumer, who supports communism, open the government? The communist party relies on illegal voters to grow their support. They do not pay attention to the needs of legal citizens. This was the main idea behind open borders. How foolish can you all be? Reach out to your local communist leaders and ask them to reopen the government. I'm pretty sure no one will listen. Finally, rich donors are paying for the ballroom. Check it out and find out who made the donations. Nobody who is a communist will be invited to the inauguration.
The last thing we want to do is shut it down but uhhh, alot of good can come down from shutdowns. We can get rid of a lot of things we didn't want. . .so, we have no choice we have to do that for the country.
When he says "we," he's not talking about us. He's saying that to his billionaire and millionaire buddies. His base who are temporarily embarrassed millionaires dont know what's coming. KEEP ON PACKING IT IN BOYS! WE GOT A LONG WAY TO GO! AY DADDY MY FAVORITE TACOS CON CHORIZO, HUEVO, Y PAAAAPAAAA!

You are the imbicil with an orange 🍊 turd for brains.
The federal employee's union is calling on Democrats to pass the Republican stopgap measure to open up government. Why would they do that instead of calling on Republicans to open up the government ? Because they blame Democrats for the shutdown.

What I find sad is that many of the elderly who receive SS rely on SNAP. I that when my mother was alive she received $50. $50 was not and is not a lot of money. It is depressing to go to the store and see people counting their money for food.🍞🥛🥦🥭🥚
The Congressional GOP is AWOL again this week. So is Trump. Negotiations can’t take place without them. The Administration doesn’t consider its citizens a priority.
The world marvels as Trump’s
demented ego goes unchecked and America regresses into a third world country. Is MAGA
tired of all this winning yet?
Thanks, good to know. What’s a matter democrats, constantly lying to your constituents for propaganda. 70% of American are unhappy with your direction and yet you still continue to lie. Worthless commies
The end of social services is good. It brings families closer together. Each helping one another. Just like the good old days before the depression. Now maybe the politicians can concentrate their efforts on lower cost health care from which all of us can benefit.
The democrats want it shutdown so be it.
Ben Neece backwards??? Nice.
Gah dang, hahaha 😆🙃🤣.
You weren’t yapping when Soros donated all that money for the presidential election down here. All that money La mantia burned through TO LOSE. . 😝
But you’re worried about the other sides money. Nice try moron
10:27 Healthcare left in the hands of Republicans means, no healthcare for
citizens, only for government representatives. We've been waiting for details
of their health plan since Obama left office. Any day now.......
Q.Who uses SNAP?
A.Minorities
This is a targeted attack.
Food Distribution and Emergency Program
Assistance for Older Adults
Remember. The Republicans told the elderly "GO and work during COVID 19, if you die , you die for your country" While the Republicans were at home getting their checks and saving their lives.
Meanwhile, rich nations in Europe keep their citizens healthy, well fed, with job opportunities and good housing.
Only the senate has control of the shutdown. Trump has nothing to do with it. I know its difficult to blame the communist party even though it's to blame. Well see how well the communist party does in New York can't wait.
Dream on! There will never be lower health care cost. High health cost care even has educated lobbiest.
1:36 Trump voters in red states use the most welfare.
Bend over MAGA, here it comes.
