I think Trump's initial comment was kinda smart, you know? He's trying to get Congress to open up and work together, which is kinda hard when you got a divided government . But, at the same time, it's really concerning that he'd threaten people's food stamps like that... SNAP benefits are super important for low-income families, especially during times of crisis .
I'm not saying Trump's right or wrong, I just think his comment was a bold move to get Congress's attention. And Leavitt walking back on it is actually kinda smart too - she's trying to protect the program and avoid any more controversy . But now we're left wondering when these benefits will be distributed... it's like, come on, already!
this is so messed up the US is one of the richest countries in the world and yet they're trying to starve their own people by cutting off SNAP benefits? It's like they think nobody will notice or care... but we should be paying attention because this is just a small taste of what's at stake here. The fact that Trump would even suggest withholding these funds is a huge red flag, and the White House walking it back now doesn't make me feel any better what's next? Cutting off healthcare for millions of Americans? It's time for Congress to step up and hold the administration accountable for their actions
omg what is going on with trump rn i mean like i get it he's trying to hold up funding but threatening to cut off snap benefits all together? that's just cruel to vulnerable ppl struggling to make ends meet and now karoline leavitt trying to walk back those comments but still not explaining why they didn't have more emergency funds in place like shouldn't the gov be prepared for emergencies or something? this whole thing is just a mess and it's gonna affect so many people who rely on that program
Man, can't believe Trump's latest move ... I mean, come on, threatening to cut off a program that helps people struggling to get by? That's just heartless, you know? And then they try to backtrack and say it was all about future funding? Um, nope, doesn't add up.
I think this whole thing is just another example of how out of touch Trump is with the everyday people. SNAP benefits aren't some partisan issue; they're a matter of basic human dignity. You'd think someone in his position would care more about the people who need help the most, but I guess that's not what politics is all about anymore
It's like, can we please just focus on getting these benefits distributed to those who need them? The government shutdown is already causing so much chaos and uncertainty. Do we really need this kind of drama on top of it?
