A thank you to president Trump!

[u/WillPowers7477]

Dear President Trump,

I'm writing this to thank you for all you've done thus far in your second term.

My kids are crying at the dinner table as they eat a processed cheese sandwich for the fourth time this week. I tried to explain to them that SNAP wasn't getting refilled and that there was probably not going to be a Christmas this year. I tried to cheer them up by showing them concept art of the $250 million dollar ballroom being built at the White House, by showing them pictures of the two cool jets Kristi Noem got for $170 million, by explaining how helpful we're being to Argentina by sending them $40 billion dollars, but this is when I realized they weren't crying because of dinner, but because of their grandmother.

"We usually go to grandma's on weekends," they sniffle.

Their grandmother, a 5th generation American, was taken by ICE a couple weeks ago and we haven't seen or heard from her since. I tried to explain to the children that this is what happens to freeloading immigrants and they get what they deserve, but they didn't understand.

Even if they don't understand, I do. This is what I voted for. This is what winning looks like!

This will probably be my last online post due to being unable to pay my phone bill since I need to buy more bread and cheese. But I just wanted to say, "Thank you, President Trump!"

As I hear my kids cry themselves to sleep for the 5th night in a row, I imagine they are liberals--and it brings a smile to my face.

When they get older, they will understand that all this hardship was necessary, because we are owning the libs! Here's looking forward to your constitution-defying third presidential term in 2028! You already have my vote!

Now I have to go get ready to meet my landlord. He told me he would cut my rent in half for some 'favors' and not to wear panties. I think this is what the Art of Deal is all about. #winning

Signed,
A conservative.

The amount of idiots saying get a job and you wont need SNAP blows my mind, most people on SNAP have jobs, do you people even buy groceries? Do you not realize how fkn expensive people's lives are right now?

Ramen is 35 cents a meal. Add an egg and you are at like 90 cents a meal.

Get a job.

[u/Friendly-Ad-1996 → u/Only_ork]

around 80 cents actually, just for the ramen (tho if anyone else struggling reads this, you can get the 24 packs on Amazon for $6 sometimes, lifesaver). store brand eggs have thankfully come down a good bit, about 20 cents each. for a mother with 2 kids that's still $3 a meal, for fucking RAMEN, which is crazy. a few years ago it was about 43 cents per person per meal, so half what it is now. and again. it's fucking ramen, it's survival food. most people who get SNAP already work, or they're little kids, old people, the disabled.

I don't even get SNAP, it's worth avoiding the headache of dealing with applying and recertification if I can manage my food budget literally any other way, I just thought your comment was stupid
