This is Trump’s mess. He created it. He knew full well what would happen if he did this.
He offered no support. No counsel. No advice. No other consideration.
He just acted in an immature manner in order to create the kind of problems people are now witnessing on the streets.

No President has ever cut off SNAP during a shutdown. Billions of dollars are sitting in Washington, waiting to be used for exactly this purpose.
Donald Trump could fix this today. He’s choosing not to.
BREAKING: USDA says they won’t use emergency funds for food stamps causing over 40 million Americans to lose SNAP benefits next week. This country is going to let poor people starve while Trump constructs his golden Ballroom and Democrats do nothing but fundraise.
THESE FACT SHOULD BE RESISTED BY ALL
AMERICANS WHO BELIEVE THEY PAID INTO SOCIAL SECURITY THEIR ENTIRE WORKING LIVES.
CALL YOUR REPS EVEN IF THEY'RE REPUBLICANS.
