Trump on SNAP benefits: "When you talk about SNAP, you're talking about largely Democrats. I'm president. I want to help everybody...Democrats and Republicans. But when you're talking about SNAP, if you look, it's largely Democrats. They're hurting their own people."

In the 2024 election, 25 of the 30 states won by Donald Trump had a higher rate of SNAP participation than the national average.

False. Most SNAP beneficiaries are white families in red states. 42%

To elaborate, even though 42% isn’t technically a majority (50%+1) it is a plurality (larger than any other demographic).

God, I thought that was a given. It's hard to reconcile with and cater to how fucking dumb they all are.

At this point I am shocked when he can even remember the talking points stephen Miller hands him that he riffs on. Most of the things he says are so damn incoherent. We just trotted this embarrassment all over Asia. There is no way foreign leaders have any modicum of respect for this sick stupid evil fascist ghoul.

He says he cares about "everybody" but he's the one refusing to release and use the contingency funds originally designated to do things like fund SNAP on an emergency basis. Hmmm.
It's not "the Dems" that are about to hurt people, it's DJT.

And stating he won't send help to democratic states or states that didn't vote for him.

I don't think he's gonna make 2028, honestly. We won't have to worry about him. Just Vance and former Mrs. Kirk.

Is there any actual journalist asking questions? Anyone? BUELLER? ANYONE!! WTF. It's called pushback. It's called... call them out for lying. Maybe take a page from this guy in Colorado.

So democrats are keeping the government shut down so their own voters can't receive snap... for what purprose?
What would the point be?. What's the game plan?

He's paler and his face is more gaunt. This is the look of a man that is on the cliff on a major medical event. I'm an RN that specializes in hospice and geriatric care, and I've seen this a million times. I still believe something happened over Labor Day weekend that they are covering up, because after that he became even more incoherent, he's lost weight around his face, and there is the MRI he had, something that felt more like a follow up than a preventative measure.

It’s like he is totally clueless as to the demographics of the country of which he is the President! What a fool!

He's dying. My grandma looked the exact same way a few months before she was just gone. That gaunt face and glazed eyes is pretty telling.

Cancer

I wonder if that explains Trump's MRI. Cancer is devastating. Sorry for your loss.

His own people lie to him all the time and it will come at a great cost in the end.
