Why would Trump want to gut food bank funding when demand is at record levels as he takes a hammer to the US economy and people struggling to get by?

no, but might be willing to reduce it to real food rather than the garbage isles. citizens may have to step up donations. A lot of groceries donate items, just change some laws... too much that is "ok" is tossed out when people could eat it. ditto restaurants... too much waste.

society needs to work on better solutions and ignore the lawyers.

Trump is deporting American citizens

Because the food bank isn't something HE needs, therefore he doesn't give a damn. Considering how he bragged about swaying the Canadian election against someone who was more like him, he probably sits at his desk eating McDonald's laughing at the power he has over poor, struggling people. What a "leader" huh?

Why do people need food banks so much when it is relatively easy to get food stamps? Maybe because a lot of people that go to food banks do so because they sold their food stamps.

[Asker]

psst... He's cutting food stamps too!

[NaultD]

He personal wants you dead if you can't feed yourself. Why because the Republicans are evil.

[goaded]

Why not? He's never going to up for election again.

This is news to me. President Trump is cutting waste , Unless this food bank is connected to illegal aliens or some other anti American scam I doubt that this really happened. The fake news lies a lot more than it doesn't. That is how they got the name.

[Asker]

Another MAGAT putting his head in the sand if he doesn't like any information from a source not approved by the Fuhrer.

HE DONT KNOW

HE DON'T CARE

HE DGAF

We're all just extras in his theatrical production entitled "Springtime for Hitler"

I'm all for food banks, but did you know that some prisons go to food banks to cut their costs? So basicall, killers are getting that ham that a family could have used.

[Ariesman81]

It shouldn't be federally funded. Charities and donations should be done by people who feel compelled to do so.

[Dongie]

I'm sure this is propaganda from the left. Trump doesn't hurt people for political gain the way democrats do.

[Dongie]

At least he doesn't go anonymous like 🐓💩's on here do.

[seeyounexttuesday]

So people are becoming self-reliant and consuming healthier food. This is a mega win for MAGA and MAHA.

[Sal_Monella]

Trying to get spending under control, I'd guess. Every cut will hurt someone. Will it hurt when we bankrupt and have nationwide or even worldwide financial collapse? Then people will really go hungry.

[SmokinAces2000]

There are cuts that don’t directly impact people that he can initiate. He’s cutting a bunch of bullshit but then will turn around and say that we need to increase the military budget to 1 trillion.

[Dongie]

Damn, you'd think liberals could win an election the way they arm chair solve all the problems.

[Sal_Monella]

@SmokinAces2000 Which ones?

[SmokinAces2000]

Focusing on the military budget which is a huge source of government waste, selling old or unused government assets, or actually working to find waste instead of just cutting or shutting down programs.

[Sal_Monella]

@SmokinAces2000 That is what DOGE is for and is doing.
We need a strong military but not $500 toilet seats.

[Sal_Monella]

And I agree that big shots in mahogany lined rooms should analyze the benefit and harm tradeoff of cost cutting policies. like the daycare center in the movie DAVE.

And now that I think about it, couldn't the Dems have found a body double of Old Joe to groom and run in 24 like they did when Billy Shears replaced Paul McCartney when Paul died in a car crash? Maybe this should be SOP for the staff of prominent leaders to maintain stability and continuity.

[Asker]

And Trump is working hard on collapsing the world economy. Spending on food banks is miniscule.

[Sal_Monella]

@Dongie They don't want to solve problems. They want to keep problems alive. To keep running on them. Exactly the same way that they exploited black Americans for six decades..

[SmokinAces2000]

Because he’s a dickhead and his supporters find some way to justify anything he does.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Like his entire evil kind, he hates the poor !!!

[Abbycado]

Because he doesn’t care about people.

No reason to ask anonymously

[Asker]

Every reason to ask anonymously or otherwise. People are really hurting, and all you care about is the status of the person asking the question. Try reading the article and providing an intelligent response. If you don't like my status, don't bother to answer.

[BarryLiverstone]

The answer is obvious. Trump is trying to reduce federal government spending.

You are already anon by being on gag. You can ask with your username

[BarryLiverstone]

80% of food bank funding isn’t from the federal government. So banks are not being “gutted”

[Pohjolan]

To save money obviously.
