How does ending food programs for the needy fit in with Trump’s belief that he is on a mission from God?

Trump has ended food programs like school lunches for kids in need and meals on wheels for elders in need. So I can’t understand how Trump could be on a mission from God and take away food from kids and elders. Cheers and happy weekend!

    Nature's way is to abandon the weak in order to strengthen the herd. Trump may believe that culling the herd makes it easier for the rest to survive. Of, course that would put us on a par with the animal world, which might just mean not being 'woke'.

    A very wise man once said – I’m not an animal – I’m a human being.

    There are people that will tell you Trump’s cuts to food programs were just trimming the fat from the budget. But I don’t think they were I think the cuts had alternative motives – like make Trump’s person Federal piggy bank bigger (so who is the animal now).

    I can not imagine how it must feeling to have a school lunch sandwich one day – then no sandwich the next day - and no future sandwiches in site.

    A sandwich can be brain food and maybe one of the kids Trump took sandwiches away from would of one day solved the Cold fusion problem. But thanks to Trump they were too hungry to do the math – so we all loose. Cheers and happy weekend!

    My state provides free breakfast and lunch for every student. No one has to prove they need it or deserve it. It benefits the children, the schools, the parents, and the community. In my opinion that is what government should be doing.

    It is proven that well-fed children learn better than those who are hungry.  No surprise that you can't concentrate on studies when your stomach is growling.  That should be the case in every state's school.

    Trump's government would likely rather hand out bullets and a cross than food.

    Yesterday, a MAGA senator was told by a constituent at a Town Hall, that cutting Medicaid benefits meant people would die. Her response? ' We're all gonna die anyway. ' True story.

    Yep, seen it making the rounds. Just another day under the big top of nonsense, starring Ringmaster Trump and his troupe of uncaring clowns.

    That’s horrible. Hope she looses her seat in the midterm election (if her seat is up for vote). Cheers and happy weekend!

    Here is her 'apology '. I'm not even sure what she's saying. She plans to run for re-election in 2026 and I also hope she loses.

    Her apology is as horrible as her compassion for others. Wondering what she meant by the tooth fairy. I think she meant the tooth fairy isn’t real and the chances of people dying from the cuts to medicare isn’t real – so why should she bother talking about it. Cheers and happy weekend!

    While that may be true, the animal world would never permit the dumbest among them to lead the pack.

    Cave men were probably smart enough to not be led by the dumbest of the pack. Why so many people are led by Trump boggles my mind. Cheers and happy weekend!
