Trump Finds Billions for War, Seeks 'Emergency Reserves' for Hunger
The AP reports the Trump administration faced a Monday deadline to potentially tap 'emergency reserves' to fully fund SNAP during a government shutdown. This comes after judges in Rhode Island and Massachusetts ordered the administration to continue payments for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, a lifeline for 1 in 8 Americans. Trump, ever the humanitarian, claimed he didn't want
Americans to 'go hungry just because the Radical Democrats refuse to do the right thing and REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT.' One might wonder where this sudden concern for 'emergency reserves' was when the administration pushed for billions in military spending without pause, or expedited arms sales to geopolitical partners. It appears that 'no money' is a selective complaint, reserved for keeping
Americans fed while 'emergency funds' magically materialize when a court intervenes. The system is clearly designed to funnel resources away from domestic needs until legally compelled.
