Trump went to the Supreme Court twice to stop food aid for 42 million Americans.
Federal judges kept blocking his attempts, so he escalated to the Supreme Court. He threatened states that gave out benefits anyway, demanding they take back money from families who’d already bought groceries. A federal judge blocked that today.
Now the shutdown’s ending. Watch him take credit for the food he fought to deny. Before Thanksgiving, he’ll spin this as presidential leadership. The man who asked the Supreme Court twice to stop SNAP will rebrand as the president who kept people fed.
Say it out loud before the rewrite happens: Trump tried to starve people for leverage. Courts stopped him. Lock in what actually happened, then act locally. Food banks, county governments, shelters need you before Thanksgiving.
