After withdrawing funds for the USAID, which is estimated to lead to 14 million preventable deaths by 2030, including 4.5 million young children, the Trump administration has now turned toward its own citizens. They have announced it will NOT use the $6 billion available to fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). As a result, 42 million Americans will suffer hunger, almost half of whom are children. Aside from starving Americans, small businesses will be hurt. About 80% of stores which accept SNAP funds are small businesses. Meanwhile, Trump is giving $20 billion to autocratic ally Milei in Argentina to boost his country’s economy while refusing to give $6 billion for SNAP to feed needy American families. What happened to “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” or “Care for the hungry…”?
