4. This quote assumes that SNAP payments have actually failed ... but they haven't failed

Thu Oct 30, 2025, 11:46 AM

SNAP payments were working, they were doing their job efficiently and well.

The Chump administration has cancelled them without any authority or legal mandate to do so. It's just one more presidential failure and proof of negligence on his part.

On top of all this, the cancellation of SNAP is very bad for our economy, as well as for the children and families who are being denied the benefits. Even if he doesn't care about "poor hungry children," Chump had better care about the American merchants and grocers who have the legal and economic power to fight this. He ignores them at his own peril.
