2h ·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.
the best way I can explain it is that white privilege is the benefit of the doubt. To quote Charlie Kirk, "If I see a black pilot, I'm going to wonder if he's qualified." White privilege is never being doubted about qualifications. Pete Hegeseth replaced a highly decorated black general Lloyd Austin. No one who is constantly talking about DEI doubted Pete Hegeseth's credentials, strictly because he is a white guy who goes along with whatever Trump says. For a personal example, I'm literally the only black person in my workplace. I get calls constantly asking for my advice on troubleshooting an issue or to speak to a customer because they have very little interpersonal communication skills.
Fuck you. Trump has never changed, he is the same dude from his fist term. You cunts were fooled by what exactly? We saw the same mofo on the campaign trail last year. FOH.
*cough*
We don't care what what you ''think'' you dumb fucking hillbilly it's clearly not a strong suit.
