"When we needed help, we were able to receive food stamps as my parents worked their way out of that difficult time," Krishnamoorthi said in his opening statement."Today, my father is an engineering professor, my brother is a doctor, and I am fortunate to represent Illinois' 8th Congressional District in Congress and to chair this subcommittee.
"For too long, this loophole has been used to effectively bypass important eligibility guidelines. Too often, states have misused this flexibility without restraint," Perdue said in a statement."The American people expect their government to be fair, efficient and to have integrity — just as they do in their own homes, businesses and communities. That is why we are changing the rules, preventing abuse of a critical safety net system.
While the Agriculture Department said it aims to save taxpayer dollars, he said, the increase in food insecurity would also have unintended financial consequences, most notably a nearly $1,800 increase in health care costs per person, according to a study he worked on for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year.
Chelleld16 California, Texas and Florida have the highest numbers of people needing food assistance. These 3 states have the highest rates of homeless and homeless veterans. Florida, has the highest number serving our military, and has the highest homeless veterans without work.
My daughter just got a letter demanding reimbursement (1300$) unless she can prove she was not employed!

PACRONYM It's definitely time to put Trump on an allowance.
Oh come on. Trim the program not on our children but our children's parents do not need to puchase soft drinks, gum, candy bars, and engery drinks for themself at gas station stores.
He has no care or respect for the poorer of our nation he only wants the rich to get richer !
WoW. Prisoners get 3 meals a day FREE, WHY SHOULDN'T CHILDREN? THINK ABOUT THE TRILLIONS SPENT ON CRIMINALS!
How much did it cost taxpayers for him to drive around the Daytona 500 turning it into a political rally
They check your income every quarter, you have to go through an extreme application process. you can't make over a certain amount of income, the people who abuse it is minuscule, *the lowest in any other program and every dollar used contributes $1.70 in economic activity
Hey and the rest of the media: food stamps haven’t existed for 12 years. The correct name of the program is SNAP. The only people who still use the words “food stamps” are those who aim to stigmatize participants. Update your language if nothing else.
Fetuses are more important than children I guess.

Donald should go on a diet not our kids!📌🎯🇺🇸
It's the people in Trump's base who will be feeling the effects of this full on, in addition to those who are already suffering. Maybe that will wake them up.
Great news. Thanks!
So a proposal comes out that everyone can provide input into before it’s changed but most folks are far too lazy to do anything but whine on social media about it...yup, it’ll pass because many don’t do their civic duty
I’m conservative and this is stupid. A huge conservative ideal is having stage and local governments have the power. Trump is trying to bring it all to the federal level, so people with higher standards of living have to earn as little as everyone else.

Well maybe thier parents should take advantage of our best job market ever in the country and they wouldn't have to rely on govt aid and handouts. laziness
And watch all these evangelicals are going to support taking food out of the mouths of children or prove me wrong?
Feeding people of any age is not the job of the government. It feeds the bureaucracy managing the program! Time to end all the BS program.
FACT: NBC article states that 96 percent of the children would remain eligible for free or reduced school breakfasts or lunches, but they would have to fill out separate applications. The headline is not the story it is a story.
experts at CNN are saying this will kill about 56 millions babies every month
Utterly moronic - food stamps are one of the cheapest ways to help poor families, particularly the children.
They’ll have access to the same food I have access to...they just have to work for it...like I do.
tell the parents to get off their lazy ass and find a job, there all kinds of jobs out there, welfare is NOT a career choice
If it's 3m illegals I'm all for stopping food stamps
Thanks, Trump administration!!!🙄👎👎👎
Those in power and those who have no empathy always punish our most vulnerable.
You mean like the food programs that Michelle Obama instituted that children would rather go hungry than eating her suggested menus
Hey, at least the 1% got their tax cut. The rest of us, can eat cake.
Shame shame no excuse for this👎
You continue to push this lie over and over again
Tell the hole story, like 2 sides, to a coin.
realDonaldTrump can cause a three trillion dollar deficit with his sham corporate and wealthy tax cuts and the starve Americans families and children Judy for the hell of it?
Not all kids...... Just the poor and hungry ones......
This is just unacceptable !!!
Good thing we have REAL JOBS to counterattack FAKE NEWS! Democrats would rather give you a handout while keeping a foot on your chest holding you down! MSM just doesn’t get it, Americans have pride and will take a hand up but don’t hold me down
It's still not the government's job to feed your kids you had by yourself. Im just sayin
just wondering how much free food trump and cronies get late night work sessions, planning sessions, holiday parties,sports teams, super bowls, birthdays any little thing justifies tax payer food. if they’d stop fora year every child could have lunch
So are the tax cuts for the rich government assistance or not Seems pretty unfair that the rich are getting richer while the middle class and poor are getting stomped into the dirt
So it just means that as a parent you have to make sure your child is enrolled. How hard is that to do. Also if you are an able body person you have to work for your benefits. Nothing wrong with that. And no I'm a Trump supporter. Just tired of working my ass off.
I hate the trump administration!
More propaganda news that never wants to tell the whole truth.
I’m okay with making adjustments to eligibility with SNAP, etc. however more focus needs to be on the top 1% of people/corporations to make sure they are paying their fair share in taxes, and not getting tax breaks, etc.
AliciaRedd2 👍🏻 a great start ... needs to go much further
Better hope those MAGA caps taste good with a little salt and pepper on them. ✨💫🤔

Sadly this is the new America. Home of the haters and the bigots.
This administration makes me absolutely sick
Oh these Republicans are something else what they give poor people 4 stamps ain't shit compared to the cost of food. Yet the GOP & the rich continue to corrupt the tax system vote theirs asses out
You think
elliesgramma I'm sure there's trumpers who don't need gov programs and don't care about anyone else, but trump's chipping away at them and agencies that make America the best. Who will supporters blame when the gov only offers the rich and oil corps assistance? It's time to wake up now!
NBC doen't bother to research the affected. They have no dependents.
Look deeper. Look at staff and intake caseworkers, how they do or don't do their jobs properly. Just like staff at DMV, they are not looked at and some do what they want....
We'll vote him out soon enough and all be normal again👍
If the government makes you go to school, then they should, at least, provide lunch.
School lunch should be free. I also believe Gvt assistance should be temporary. I’m a mom of four and was on food stamps for years. But when I gained great employment with great benefits my income was too high for the program. I’m glad I’m off because they are too nosy anyway
Trump doesnt care. About anyone. Except himself.
When are people going to realize that if it doesn't affect his family he DOESN'T CARE no matter what he has said he don't care none of them do food pantrys will be overwhelmed so tired of that whole administration time for him to go
For these children the school food program is the only meal they will eat every day. I've volunteered to serve this food and watched children sneak an apple in there pocket for later or a cereal bar. This is disgusting

While the King eats burned steak and ketchup.
Trump is a horrible man!!
Although I believe that all programs should be examined for possible reform not only to streamline, but to have less opportunities for abuse of the system, I think we should start with corporate welfare first.
Because starvation is what we should have as a priority when the obscenely rich need more money. Your Tax cuts at work.
This is so wrong
He is so selfish and no empathy. He is doing this to make up for the tax cuts he gave to corporations. He is trying to fix the deficit off of the backs of the poor.
Now that you put this bs article how about printing the reality
FakeNews
More yellow journalism
USDA SecretarySonny Perdue: 'The American people expect their government to be fair, efficient and to have integrity-' REALLY?!? Do you know who POTUS is? Don't preach to the American people about fair or integrity as we have YET to see it come from this administration!
The president for the common man.
But he has billions 4 his wall. Take that to the elections.
FakeNews
Parents can go to work...
thank God for this, this will eliminate the laziness I see too much from certain races
Those kids should get out and “work” for a living (like Frumpf and his kids) instead of looking for a government handout! Cheating on your taxes is NOT a government handout nor is FORCING the Goverment to excessive ants of $$$ at your businesses!
People who never had to use food stamps think those who do get a big load It can be very low. Like only $10 A month Not the huge payoff you think they are getting Can you live on $10 a month
FakeNews
That is not true the way your saying it ! What it will do is free up more money to those who really need it. The ones that are coming off welfare are working and have an income! Right now you can work and still get welfare that’s not what the program is for
This program helped me while I was going to school and working to support 3 kids, when I found a better job with good medical benefits I was able to cancel myself from the program, immediately cutting off people who really need it does not help. Wrong move realDonaldTrump
TL;DR A lot of states are letting people who make as much as $55k per year take federal assistance and the WH is putting a stop to that.
Alabama isn't going to like this.
This is music to my ears!!!!! Most not all welfare recipients are nothing but leaches!!! Put them to fucking work instead of living off my hard earned money!!!!
So out of the 3 million you are claiming. 1 million ARE food insecure, and 1 million 'would' become food insecure. So assuming the other million doesn't even need it?
lulu81507 How evil do you have to be to take food out of the mouths of children so your friends can enjoy their tax breaks?
This is just cruel. They give the rich a blank check with tax cuts, but continue to punish the poor.
Why would they starve children?!
Most will be white rural rejects that voted for Trump.
Cruelty seems to be the whole point with trump.
Boy, MSM really knows how to work the emotions of the left. Research people. Read it yourselves. It's obvious most of you only read the headline. It only affects abled bodied people under 40 with no kids. Everyone knows people thwart the system. Don't act like you don't.
Where is his healthcare?
SureReality I live off $1200 a month disability and get $15 a month for food stamps. I try to save them all year so I can have holiday dinners at the end of the year.
this is the conservative republican party today. money for wars, money for walls, money for corporations and the rich, but no money to feed children or the more underprivileged among us. vote democratic in 2020.
Esperemos que se revierta la medida - en caso de ser cierta - si se trata de estadounidenses que sí la necesitan.
The food bank offers organic. Just saying. I know many who got off food stamps. And they did it not by a direct intervention of a socialist Gov programs. They did it through a roaring economy that Trump policies paved the way to. They couldn’t be happier
Sooooo earning a paycheck is a bad thing ? .. I know this should read Democrats Are Big Mad they aren't needed anymore
From your source. Still eligible.
idnac4u How many of the 3 million are part of his base? A lot is my guess.
O man so the American people have to work now omg
Surely the pro lifers will fight this.
Is this cut in SNAP benefits one of the reasons why realDonaldTrump boasted he’s lifted “millions” out of poverty? Ditto proposal for cuts in social security, Medicare & Medicaid? But -0- income tax for corporations is fait accompli. Bigly.
Good thing there are so many more jobs.

Total disgrace this comes from a man that does not give a thought to children's lives.
Tell the parents to stop spending $8 bucks a day on cigarettes
Tell the complete story
Biased fake news by nbc. Always lies and failure to report truth.
My grandparents were dirt poor but always fed their own kids. It's not the government's job.
So much for republican mantra letting states decide vs micromanaging.
Why What possible reason can the admin. have to justify this? What could be more important than making sure school children don’t go hungry all day, providing them one meal so they can better thrive & function at school?
Good. With 7M more jobs than people, it is no problem for these “families” to go get one. Losing auto-enrollment, well BOO F*CKING HOO, now these useless parents have to enroll themselves.
Something needs to change. I never got free lunch and we were poor. But all children these days should get school lunch.
Gotta pay for Trump golf outings, the wall, and payoffs to keep “associates” quiet!
100% false. It removes them from people WHO NO LONGER need them AND stops them from people who ARE ABLE TO WORK. Stop lying about everything.
So much for pro life
At least do it for all the legal citizens. Nutrition is humans’ basic strength.Without good health, MAGA country reform or rebuilding is meaningless because of bad health. 身体是革命的本钱,造福孩子们和百姓.Because children are country’s future. Education and food are necessary.🙏🏻
Get a job
Misleading biased tweet. Rule changes affect people with hidden money and refuse to work
lies.
With the employment rate so high, the food stamp rate should drop....right?
SNAP has been and continues to be abused by millions that should not be receiving assistance. Fraudulent activity persists in every state.
You make this sound so terrible. The school lunches will be renewed annually as they are now, they just want to make sure the situation hasn't changed. The food stamps only affect those who are able-bodied adults with no children. It's not the apocalypse. StopTheSpookyTalk
FLOTUS Do you care?
According to some, this is how you MAGA Make America Great Again. I personally, find it appalling.
Tired of hearing predictions of what the President’s policies WILL do when in reality not ONE policy has hurt our country or our people!
Pathetic
And half of those welfare recipients sell their food stamps for cigarettes and alcohol.
realDonaldTrump gives the rich a tax break that includes his self n family n friends! The rich is the biggest social services (welfare) recipients ever! Now he the takes food out of children mouths!
Amazing!!!! Go get a job now!!!
It's a shame that hungry children can't vote.
millions of families work every day that don't get SNAP. They also have to buy food instead of buying expensive pocketbooks and getting their nails done. You see it all the time. In line with food stamps then going next door to get her nails done w/$300 purse! Good!
Huge step in getting abled body people up and working again. Out from under the thumb of the Democratic agenda of keeping minorities down and obeying. It feels good to earn a pay check which translates into a community feeling good. People that cant work still get assistance.👍😃
Most of those adult people are defrauding the food stamp program. It’s good realDonaldTrump is stopping the theft. You should be praising him for it. Those adults could be working and paying for those children’s meals. Stop defending corruption & deal with the criminal adults.
This is sickening. 1 mil kids hungry in school.
You know I have no problem fixing programs. But I have a problem by lumping people and one cart there is people that abused but everybody doesn't
no
The chump administration. All about the kids. FORREST TRUMP.
People making 40,000 a year don’t need food stamps just so they can buy a bigger boat.
Because that's what Jesus would do😏
What’s up NBC Fake News? Where’s your darling? Your favorite presidential candidate? The guy fake news aired 250 times while never mentioning the fall of the ISIS caliphate? Where’s Avenatti? Where’s the recession? The collusion? Where’s the collusion? Hello? NBC?
Read the article before you comment. Educate yourself.
no one helped me I got off my ass and raised my daughter by my self with no assistance even from my x husband so tuffsh$t, no more hand outs. I will not pay for some one else !
Bullshit. STOP LYING NBC
PsychoDonny doesn't care.
So no more steak and lobster for them....on my dime. Good.
It’s fine many of them voted for Trump so they get what they deserve the ones that didn’t can just show up In large numbers at churches where the pastor preaches Trumpism and ask for help with food and basic needs
I think this is a bad move Don.
Thank God the GOP cut taxes for rich people though! All these freeloading poor kids should sacrifice more for the divine job creators.
Republicans do seem to have a disregard bordering on contempt for America's children
'As of now, states are allowed to waive asset tests — ignoring whether recipients have a car, assets or savings'so people who have assets and savings have been gobbling up..(pun intended) the benefits, which new plan will make them show they truly are in need
Ooooommmmmgggg this is not good....
Guess it's time to get a job then!
That's a vote getter. Ha
morgfair realDonaldTrump how cruel can you be? IvankaTrump what about you?
A bully always picks on the weak and vulnerable. Makes them feel strong.
Complete lie. These changes will NOT effect anyone who is disabled or who has dependents. You aren't even trying anymore, NBC.
So parents will have to reapply every year!? Wow that’s awful. 🙄
At least I wouldn’t see people at a meat market buying basket full of steaks with SNAP. They can get rid of it as far as I’m concerned.
FakeNews it's time for able bodied people to get to work and stop taking handouts that are meant for those who can't work!
Any candidate against Russian spy and mobster Trump today is the best candidate for America. Criminal Trump is the best choice for criminal world and mob Putin. Remove Trump if you are not criminal bastard! ImpeachTheMFAgain ImprisonTrump NationalizeTwitterFacebook
Misleading...less people need welfare, food stamps and the free lunch program because of the roaring economy...people are doing way better
realDonaldTrump continues to create an environment of chaos under the guise of a 'better' economy backed by a racist, misogynistic & elitist agenda. Keep taking peoples' food away and watch how it plays out. Most adults will resort to any measure to feed their kids...
Pretty sure that's bogus he isn't talking about working people just people that are not working how dumb can people be....
Making America great by destroying people's lives. Get out and vote him out of office.
Thanks, Drumpf.
Sounds like tRump.
this is such a false story. It has partial truths to make people believe a lie. Y’all get mad because you’re called fake news. Well do something about it. Report the whole story. Since free or discounted school lunches are based on income...
maryselby
This is not only stealing the food from the most vulnerable Americans. For every $1 trump takes away he's causing the lost of around $1.71 local businesses (grocery stores) This is fascism, it's genocide by starvation of American citizens and American businesses. This must stop!
Trump is a fantastically fantastic racist, his brother is BloombergIsARacist
This is a very deceptive article! They are switching title 1 school districts to; instead of everyone getting a free lunch, to just the low income kids getting a free lunch. The only kids being removed from the program are the ones whose parents make too much money to qualify.
Late 'Rick James' is being accused of raping a 15 year old girl. They’re suing him for $50 million while he’s dead. 👉🏿This is what racists do. It's all for the money, what else. 😭 😩 racism BlackHistory BlackTwitter BlackHistoryMonth
More misleading reporting and headlines. Means testing won't cause kids to loose access to food. If parents have the means, but still don't feed their kids, who's responsible? There has to be a way to incrementally implement these requirements.
It is funny NBC post a picture of healthy foods. Guess NBC has never noticed someone with snap benefits buying food at the grocery store. Not healthy foods in the buggy! It chips and soda and sweets! Items that should be listed as items not available on snap benefits.
Good thing there’s 7 Million new JOBs! Humans need to work to feel valued
MikeBloomberg HillaryClinton mike need go to the next debates talk on this and to offer every american 2000us a month universal income by card, way it be payd for is tax on companies and lottery ticket are taxed when players buy the tickets.. snaps and other help will continue
I've barely had enough to last past the next pay check, but I never needed someone else to eat. I don't need a man to take care of me, nor a bunch of politicians. Once you go there, you rarely come back. I've work part-time in restaurants cuz they give meals at discounts or free.
I thought another state was gonna UA people, all except hemp and decide from there. Thee clean people your cutting off isn't fair and heard immigration being targeted first! Is that true?
this must be how administration plans on paying for some of the proposed middle class tax cuts n new branch of military
Scaremongering WITHOUT facts and the leftist hate mob jumps on the bandwagon ... pathetic
EVERYTHING that administration does, hurts the most needy in society!
PROPOSED...WELL, WE WILL SEE WHAT THESE CHRISTIANS WILL DO...
So how are people now qualified for food stamps?
Why must we pay to feed other people's children? Parents need to feed their children. It's not a right. We're $23 TRILLION in debt.
The money has to come from somewhere to pay for Trumps outings at his own resorts. Those kids don’t need food.
Outstanding. You have children? Pay for their lunch. If you cannot afford children, either avoid having them in the first place, or adopt them out to individuals who will take care of them. I am responsible for my children, not the children of those who are ill-equipped.
Let them eat Trump steak.
This is Evangelical way of killing un-aborted children.
Utter cruelty.
We're going to use the kids lunch money to build that wall.
A..hole
Nope....it won't
...cue the Jesus fans chiming in with some hatred for the poor. See below.
Mom
Imagine being born to a multi millionaire, never being hungry as a kid, then taking school lunch away from kids born to poor families. Great guy.
GO find a job!
where we get the money for the people? Cut government wages and benefits!
Everybody that is in high government should be put on Minimum wage and they have no health care unless they pay exactly what what we pay. They aren’t better than us nor are they doing the job they were put there to do. They all should be on our level of pay and Benefits.
gmvancott Time to get a job
Unacceptable. Communicate with your representatives to protect our citizen’s basic needs. There is a better way.
We sure love those babies-until they are born and need to be fed!
Let’s cut off food for trump’s children an see how they like it. These people qualify for federal help an Trump is trying to starve them out. Another step towards Hitler’s getto.
I have a trump supporting friend who qualifies for free lunch because of this rule but she also hides income from her x husband. She would NEVER think to vote anyone who doesn’t support trump 🤷🏼♀️
My brother used to work for the housing projects and he told me there were generations of families living there collecting welfare but were perfectly capable of working! I have seen people get their Snap Cards and sell them for Cash money to buy drugs!! Something needs to be done
tomcolicchio So disgraceful. This is my country
MayaRockeymoore Maybe trump should step into a NYC school.
This is why realDonaldTrump is an asshole. He only cares about himself and his rich elites. He could careless if you voted for him or not.
But he needs $2 billion for his wall. Disgusting.
Somehow people think by taking away from the poor they will pay less taxes. Can I just say 'stupid'. Why not help those in need.
Never seen a homeless camp with any luxury involved.
The money for SNAP program comes from taxpayers. So taxes won't be reduced,, where is our taxpayers money going to go to? Building a wall while trump starves kids and elderly? Space exploration while trump destroys, contaminate, pollute the land, air and water?
Posted ad nauseam every day for the past 2 weeks. How much is ENOUGH?
As long as states are using their own money to fund these programs they should be allowed to raise the eligibility to anything they want. They should not be able to waive it for federal dollars, which appears to be the loophole being closed.
Why would he care? He never saw his kids or parents go hungry.Maybe he should fast for a week and see what hunger pains feel like.
Hate filled change by trump 😡 UnfitForOffice
Horrible. Also...many of those who will be affected by this, especially the new disability requirements are trump supporters.
from the white house... 'let them eat cake'
Wow...trump really hates everyone doesn’t he ? Here was me thinking some politicians here in UK were bs.
Keep spreading the lie
A lunch on Average cost about $2.17 to make that's $10 a week or $40 a month. I understand that people do need help but we need to make food the priority over 50 inch TVs.
momness1 It’s much more important to fund the war machine and our interventionists policies then starving Americans. Priorities
tomcolicchio Of course it will. He is evil incarnate.
45 thinks this is good?Hungry children?Parents unable to feed families?A retired teacher,I knew who had a good breakfast/lunch,b/c performance levels were obvious.Hungry kids will lead to sick can 45 justify this action? How can anyone support this action?
Perhaps, some sort of millage is in order to include free lunch for children of a low income families. Or has it come down to having block parties to gather money for the kids. Folks it's time to realize we as humans are going to need to start looking out for each other.
hmmm when I was growing up, i had reduced lunch, but I was never auto enrolled in school lunch programs....my mom went every year to re-enroll me in the reduced lunch program. Not sure when auto enrollment into reduced lunch programs became a thing.
Sensational corrupt way out of context MSM lies. OMG, yellow journalism at it's finest...
The makes it easier for trump to refill his fantasy island
if you are able to work, you shouldn't take advantage of handouts.
Those tax cuts clearly didn’t pay for themselves! Taking money from 3 million people, apparently a better plan then taking money from the 1%. Do you think those of the 1% think they are better Americans?
Sad. Starve them to death.
Fake news
USDA is so full of it. Perdue is lying about motives. Instead of going after poor people (Walmart employees, etc..) why aren’t they going after corporate welfare & all the tax loopholes. Oh wait, cause they use them.
Manufactured Crisis
My 70 yr-old mother had a bad fall last Sept. Has a crushed vertebrae and 11 rib fractures. Still can barely walk, let alone go back to her school cafeteria job. So she applied for SNAP till she can return to work. Got her award letter the other day... $21... a MONTH.
That’s a lot of Trump supporters.
Vote for BernieSanders
Maybe 45 needs the $$$$. ?
It's not the gov responsibility to feed ur kid. If u decided to have a child and knew that you were unable to provide for them, that's not the gov (i.e. the tax payer's) problem. There are certainly edge cases, but for the most part this system is outright abused.
Just for a wall. How can trump let kids starve
FakeNews The changes eliminate duplicate programs. All they need to do is refile.
Great news... they can get off their lazy backends and work
So this was what he was talking about in the SOTU... kicking people off, not helping lower income households. Misleading the public once again. Typical.
Run up deficits, give unnecessary tax breaks and cut entitlements. Then get pissed when Democrats have to clean it up. That’s the GOP.
everyone is not born with a silver spoon and some people fall on bad times to no fault of their own. im not for helping anyone that is able but unwilling to help themselves, but i am totally for those that genuinely try but need some help along the way. trump is a waste of oxygen
Think about that when you VOTE!2020
So sad. No more potato chips and frozen pizza?
So we heard 3 weeks ago
I guess FAKE NEWS and the Democrats would like these people to be slaves to the programs for the rest of their lives. God forbid these people to get a JOB and work for their food. There are millions of jobs to be filled and no one to take them. Go to work.
Trump is a child abuser
The GOP hates homeless people, but is doing everything they can to increase our homeless population.
Just WHY So the rich can get a bigger tax cut? With hold food from kids so people who don’t need it can have a few more pennies in thier pockets? Horrible
This is America
Time to go to work no one gets a free ride anymore
Still pushing this lie?

NBC, YOU must really LIKE this idea. I mean, you're willing to do EVERYthing YOU CAN to help stop 'Bernie', the ONLY candidate who can actually BEAT TRUMP & who wants to actually lift people out of poverty & make sure they have a living wage, health care & decent quality of life.
You white folk can continue fooling with Trump and your babies will be ignorant and hungry
Yet, somehow we can pay $130,000,000 for one person to play golf.
To all who voted for this clown 🤡 and he’s a racist.
He doesn't care why report it. Nothing anyone says is going to make a difference.
SusanKBradford
Trump and these rich white people. They Haven’t struggled a day in their life and know nothing about the people who are on food stamps.
Stop with the lies
By rules change they mean, making states adhere to the current federal guidelines.
So plutocrats impoverished the middle class, older employees were fired & can’t find work. They’re now SNAP recipients as a result & now Trump wants them dead! If this is not Fascism, what is!
You do know those people could get jobs
So many children need this
DearGoodPeople People going without food. My, my. That's quite Christian and benevolent of the Republican party, isn't it?

Shouldnt spit out kids if you can't afford kids. Simple.
Yeah, I can imagine it.. The abuse of the Food Stamp & Welfare System. President Trump has to stop it, somehow.
Another Libturd Defeated by me today.
i would like to see a comparison list first before i judge - mainly because media only wants to spin negative
Do you know how many people I see on food stamps that are capable of working but just too lazy? I’m a home health worker so I’m in and out of multiple home daily
There's still time for AndrewYang.
If you make over 40k buy your own god damn food. Here is an idea if your “other financial burdens” cost to much cut some some of them. Of course none of you people even read the article.
NBC news always leftist biased propaganda.
This is terrible!
JennaLeeTV The words make me look away from despair. The photo gives me hope, that we can fix things.
😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡
1,000,000 children losing lunch privileges with poverdized,truly horribly wrong!
Republicans:
Where are all the pro life people? Or once the child is born they think it’s ok to let it suffer?
I was a poor city kid. I was so poor that I had no financial cushion in case of emergencies , like my beaters breaking down. City living is expensive. Car insurance on a car with a lien was $2,000 a year. Yup. In 1988! I had 0 health insurance , car payments , rent.
Directly from the article: About 96% of the children who would be slated to lose automatic enrollment under of the Trump administration's proposed rule would remain eligible for free or reduced school breakfasts or lunches, but they would have to fill out separate applications.
Good, it should have been done years ago. I’m tired of my tax dollars going to pay for dead beats and illegal immigrants.
Perhaps then the freeloaders should get some jobs, you know earn money
It just amazes me that the Trump administration will approve a tax break for the rich and eliminate food subsidies for the poor and pat themselves on the back and say they are doing a good job and his little Republican followers continue to cheer him on. This is a very dark time!
Si los afectados son familias y niños estadounidenses debería revertirse la medida, ahora si se trata de indocumentados que son una carga para la sociedad y no han demostrado interés en regularizar su estatus migratorio, entonces si se debe cambiar.
That’s most of his voters too
But tell me again how you’re Pro-Life?
Republicans controlling women reproductive rights but, they're not going to help women feed the kids.
Why? What is trump's purpose for this proposal? It sure as hell is not helping our country! Mr. 'I can fix anything by myself' gotta go!!!!!..yesterday. monster.
But the important part to remember is that none of Trump's family, or those of his rich friends, will be affected, so that's OK...
This must be part of their pro-life agenda
Most of them voted for Republicans because of RACISM now, their kids will go hungry in school.
FakeNews lead-in. The changes just switch people from 2 systems to 1. Most will still qualify.
“About 96 percent of the children who would be slated to lose automatic enrollment under the Trump administration's proposed rule would remain eligible for free or reduced school breakfasts or lunches.....”.
Dropping the poor, disadvantaged & kids from food they need to survive & thrive, I have to honestly ask if realDonaldTrump worships Satan. By his numerous actions, he is either incredibly inhumane...OR...he is intrinsically evil. Where does he get his lack of compassion from?
I overheard A LOT of Pro-trumper Lazy Welfare/SSI Government Statistics are Not pleased and now many Republican females have hit Live Video Social Media platforms like Periscope gettin neked & takin 'tips/donations' for their services & feed their kids 😐
👏🏻🇺🇸👏🏻🇺🇸👏🏻🇺🇸👏🏻
Smh..
Same playbook every election cycle from the Dems. Just noise at this point.
Grossly anty poor rather anti people political policy. Absolute condemnable proceedings. 👎
More destruction to peeps.
“HOW HEARTLESS!” This tweet was specifically designed to knock the Trump admin and get a rise out of you gullible people. The realty? These are people identified even in the previous administration as financially capable of providing food for themselves and their kids.
Somehow we can’t fund this program that works but we can always find a way to fund corporate welfare. Go figure!
Nice
We bail out farmers but won’t feed our kids. That is, until you remember that for trump and the people who support him, these aren’t “our” kids even when most of them are. This is disgusting, greedy, shortsighted, irresponsible, and deplorable. And if you support it, so are you.
their friend, white Jesus, approves of starving to death!
thankstrumpsupporters
Cool, that means they have a job!
In Hungary / Europe / Before the elections on the egg boxes photo of Representatives was seen.This is how the representative distributed it to the poor eggs in front of camera lens. Motto: Remember that in the polling station who received the donation.
Because taking food from children solves everything, 🙄
This is 100% FABRICATED FakeNews. The Democrats *need* folks on Welfare, like food stamps, to bloat Government to the capacity of tyrannical.
That’s 3,000,000 more reasons to VoteBlueNoMatterWho
Shameful.
They don't have access to food now? Are the grocery stores closing? SNAP paid for soda, candy, potato chips, & other non-essential food items.
And?
Horrible!..
The three million people have jobs and are taking money out of the system which can be used for people who really need it
Wealthiest country in the world can't take care of their own. All because it's more money for the upper class and their attitude of 'Go out and get a job'. Meanwhile, the middle and lower income people work their butts off just to survive.
Trump is an endulged deranged child
Isn’t that what Christ did “took food from the needy to bolster the rich “? If you are a “Christian “ why are you following this ANTI CHRIST
It creates crime. It's what people want.
sunoshineon 3 million people without access to free government food! 1 million children without access to free government food while they are getting free government education! 323 million other people: ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
You mean people who shouldn't be getting it in the first place
Obama managed the economy better. He didn't have to cut food for the needy while creating jobs and a strong economy.
And the gutting of social programs under Trump continues! Next up, your Medicare & Social Security!!!
Be best!
Americans spend over $100 billion a year on illegals. Liberals want to spend MORE. Stop this waste of money, and we can feed all hungry American children. It’s Liberals who don’t give a crap about children.
Trump has to give that money to his rich friends they’re suffering
I cannot understand how the party that claims to be pro-life does everything they can to harm children.
Fake news
Trump in SOTU address: The economy is great. We’ve reduced the numbers of people on food stamps. Trumpublicans: hooray. Standing ovation. Cheers!!
Written by someone not in line on the first few days of the month at a club store or Walmart... I once saw and recorded a grandmother buying a guy a 55” tv with her ACCESS card... If you do an expose on the pervasive fraud in this program, you’d get a Pulitzer...
Hey here’s a thought. Get a job. The only ones being denied are the people that are able to work and make a living for their family instead living off of our tax dollars
That's fine.
So kids that no longer qualify would have to re-enroll. So what? If parents need it, then they should re-apply just like food stamps, every 3 months. Some of these kids could stand to miss a couple meals anyway...,
He needs the money to pay Secret Service the 600 a night he charges them
Good. Maybe they will get a job?
I love you ppl. Don’t even read the article and only see a headline. No wonder the Democratic Party is such a joke and just about to be led by a communist 🤦🏻♂️ you could tell them anything and they believe it. Morons
Good.
Tax cuts for the wealthy and take food away from the poor. MAGA
So sad. And so wrong.
Fake news. Read the entire bill for yourself before trusting the media.
Nancy Pelosi wants this video taken down. She would be really mad if you retweeted it...
I just tweeted to a moderator for realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse Who claimed reason to vote for Trump. Children of single moms where out of poverty since Trump was in Office and gave a number. I looked it up and it was a number apparently she pulled out of
Love this. All these parents buying shit other than food for their kids better take notice. Stop expecting free stuff. The end. MAGA2020 KAG2020Landslide
Someone who's never struggled with poverty or gone without or where their next check should go for rent, utilities, medicine, health care or emergency repair ,car,or meals, worry about job loss should never be allowed to cut programs that help poor,elderly,disabled out of spite.
Trump does not care. The kids can't vote
Merica
Next will be those ridiculous Obama phones.
They have to fund Trump's weekly golf grifts
💔😬☹
Starving poor Americans to give Trump's rich friends a tax break! WAKE UP AMERICA🤬
This is an exceptionally bad decision.
Thank God for President Trump. About time handouts, welfare & food stamps is brought under control.
Jesus loves it when you take food away from kids, NOT!!!
It’s unconscionable. These people in Trump’s Administration have never gone hungry a day in their lives. For them to take food away from the most vulnerable populations speaks volumes about their horrible lack of compassion. American people shouldn’t be starving in this Country.
So sad. I'd like for the pres and republicans to be poor for a week with a small stiphen to eat from and see how it feels to be hungry! :)t
So sad! Take from the poor to give to the rich corporations! 😡
Only the kids whose parents make too much money to qualify in title one school districts will not get free lunches. The kids who are low I come will still receive their free lunches
VoteBlueNoMatterWho
Wtf is wrong with him. He has no heart at all . Cold hearted man he is
Vote
As taxpayers just paid for his $3 million super bowl party. Nice
Shit like this makes me hate Republicans even more.
How about doing it to the trumps family Let’s take away all the Abuse they are doing to our Country using Our Tax Payers Money for his own gain using his own properties to over charge our secret service man STOP ABUSE VOTE BLUE
So, that cuts out the low middle income people who currently work but do not make enough to cover their cost of food. They need to pay a cost of living allowance for cities that pay their employees so little that they would have to be on SNAP.
Let them eat chocolate cake
This isn’t making America great again.
This so wrong. How are we as single parents suppose to get bye. We are hard working people here.
I hope every Trump voter affected by this rule change starves.
Does not apply to children. Just adults who do not work.
Taking food away from hungry kids isn’t making America great.
About time!
FakeNews lead in. Read your own article.
With low unemployment they will be able to put food on the table. Some ppl abuse the system just like in any govt subsidy benefits. I still believe those legit beneficiary will get it social svces will see to it they will.
It’s hilarious how the majority of conservative states are also the ones who have the highest welfare recipients... I bet they still thing he walks on water. CantFixStupid
Good.. Get a damn job.. I'm tired of paying for moochers
While the Rich get plenty of free money, curtesy of the Fed and Tax Breaks.
Daaang, wonder where it's going?
The kids at school who get free lunch almost always throw it away and eat snacks that mom buys with her food stamps. Doing away with the SNAP (temporarily) will generate data...like how many of these kids legitimately qualify?
That’s because they are working at jobs and no longer are a burden on society. This is a good thing NBC in case the democrats didn’t tell you less people on welfare is a sign of prosperity.
realDonaldTrump is literally starving the American children. He is attacking low-income Americans. BlueTsunami2020
Wasn't this the same headline from about 3 weeks ago? And it was proven to be FALSE.
So you say, able body people after a period of time should work.
Soooo.......welfare parents will have to make their kids a lunch for school.
NBC touting bullshit
hey dunce bucket, what you are not telling people is because people are getting jobs, they don't need food stamps so the rule does not apply anymore, fake news
FloofSpikey He wants people to starve like North Koreans.
Well, Trump and his friends can then buy new yachts with the savings... So there’s that.
He just doesn't care, a lot of people in my little town are on SNAP and they all have kids. Thank goodness VA is giving free lunches to all kids this year. The man is a SCROOGE!
Public schools could provide free meals to all students for breakfast & lunch, year round. Save by cutting the eligibility bureaucracy. SNAP should not penalize working families. How about an article on how SNAP could be reformed to cut abuse while also ensuring better nutrition?
Government in my native country, we don't have Govt assistant even a peso or centavo, but we didn't died we still eat 3 or times a day the regular food and we still can have snacks, & we don't have free school, our children's start going to school 6 years old we have to pay
There's no compassion in the GOP or the Trump administration!
Pres Trump only change the rule federal food stamps to those able body works, So, they have to work 24 hours a week to received foods stamps. Bcz we have booming economy they don't have any excuse that they cannot find a job. Stop freaking make inaccurate news. BS SHIT 💩
This won’t pass
PLEASE BE ADVISED: AN AUTHORITARIAN REGIME IN AMERICA HAS BEGUN. tRump and his Mafia are systematically making the middleclass and lowerclass poorer and more sick (Medicaid, Social Security cuts, drug prices hiked, more pollution etc..)
Sadly trumpists don't care.
This will hurt red states the most....but then Trump* will blame someone else and the poor ignorant MAGA will step back in line while they go hungry. CantFixStupid.
AnnieGabstonH Survey as to what percentage of those people will vote anti-GOP.
Everyone who has the means, please donate to your local food pantries. They're already stretched and are going to have so much more to do. Cash is best, or call and find out what they need. If your area has a soup kitchen (mine has a few) see if they need help too!
...and still we do nothing.
Trump is trying to outdo himself on just how EVIL he can be. He's right up there with the worst. Oh, and just when he is considering another tax break for his rich friends (and himself, obviously). VOTE THIS CREEP OUT! 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
It’s called transparency. I’ve seen way too many people work the system. By new vehicles, have nice homes, new cell phones, buy cancer sticks, get tattoos, two income families only claiming 1 income etc.
the only way these people will understand the needs of those who lose their benefits is when it happens to them. And that may not be that far away.
Lots of numbers in there, but no quoted sources! That is the problem with left-wing reporting we are simply supposed to trust u that the numbers r accurate ONLY because u say so. New regs will not affect adults with dependents, nor the disabled - so UR sources, please!
These people have been milking the system, stealing from hard working Americans. There are more jobs than people looking for work. Get a job and pay your own way. Of course those unable to work need to be protected, but those who are able to work are feeding from the same trough.
He does not care. It is that simple. He gave his 1%, all the money and put us in a huge debt and is going to get it from all below that level. Wake Up. It will not get better if you are not in the top 1%.
Liars
Democrats always want that all people completely depends on government. I don't expect millions on the streets begging for food. Liberal bc
I have to pay my school lunches. So?
Compassion is lost now. America is dog eat dog. This attitude will be it down fall.
🤬
The VAST majority of recipients are working families and not just snap. Medicaid as well and also social security benefits. Im on ssd and had 2 reviews under trump. Apparently they don't know what permanently disabled is. Trillion dollar deficit
Nice guy.
When has trump ever cared about kids
Nope lets keep on doing a bad idea and continue to not encourage all income levels to contribute cash, clothes and food to charity but our tax code doesn't allow all income levels the same tax break for charity contributions. Yes it is both parties fault.
No proof it harms kids. However we have proof that the money in SNAP could of gone into Trade schools where the next good paying jobs are coming from. We have evidence that giving away food to the food bank and allowing that amount would of given US tax payers hundreds back.
that's progress folks! VOTE IN NOVEMBER
Great news that so many have become self sufficient. Personally I think every child in every school should receive free lunch and snacks.
Trump... government of the rich, by the rich, for the rich, shall not perish from this earth 🧐 Depressing beyond belief.
Report correctly that’s not exactly true. NBC
Well gee guess they will just have to get jobs and feed themselves. I mean it's not like this isn't the best job market ever. If you can't get a job or two then your just lazy. nohandouts
This looks like a scheme to help pay for his trips to Maralago.
Numbers are lying
SNAP is a Temporary solution for when life gets hard... Not a Lifestyle!
Oh-My-God-Omniabsolute=GRAVITATIONAL-CONSTANT: Is this another one of Pres. Donald Trump's DICHOTOMIES-GAME? Thus he give the HAVES a tax deduction & takeaway the HAVES-NOT food-stamps+children school lunch program. (laughter, grin & hee-haw).🇨🇳🇷🇺🇻🇮
Only the abusers will lose it. Welfare is intended for truly needy people not for people who just choose to not work and live off the system their entire lives
A racist attack on African-American children and their families by an out-of-control demagogue and his billionaire cronies.
2020Elections Trump NeverTrumpers realDonaldTrump gtconway3d washingtonpost nytimes Sure! Need the money to send to Iraq & Afghanistan.
I bet most of these people are driving luxury cars
So the Trump administration wants to starve 1,000,000 American children by eliminating the school lunch program. Saying some bullshit about saving taxpayer money. How about eliminating Trump's golf trips & his kids' vacations & saving taxpayer money that way?
Cruel.
I don't believe that.
republicans are nazi's.
Foodstamps
That does NOT BOTHER Corporations and Monopolies that own Repubs.... suffer working and retired Americans and children... 😡😡😡🇺🇸🇺🇸
Long as Israel eats is what matters.
Pro Life? 🤔
then its also time to take away potus's lifetime paychecks for having served in the WH.
And how many of these kids and old people are in red states?
👎just change what they can buy. Fresh fruits and veggies Meat Dairy No processed or sugary goods! I see too many overweight on Snap.
Trump country folks are going to suffer.
The trump administration has to fund its tax break bill for the 1% some how.
Remember that 1.2 trillion tax give away to the rich yeah, now you know who's going to pay for it.
Fuckers
Because it’s the MAGA version of being a Christian
If they're hungry enrolling isn't a big deal. 'losing auto enrollment' = advocacy speak
Could eat. Now she makes better money she doesn't need them. It's so sad he will force familys to go without food
Bull shit
We must organize and rise up to physically take back our Republic.
This pisses me off. My mother was physically verbally abused by my father. She got away from him and worked her ass off for my little brother and I. After paying everything she barely had enough to feed us. Because she made a bit over the limit. She went days without food so we
We must Vote like the future of our Country depends on it Because it does Good Must Prevail over the Cruelty and Depravity of realDonaldTrump and Trumpublicans
What does first daughter/presidential aid IvankaTrump have to say about this? You know, she's supposed to be the champion of working women and children. Oh, that's right, she said NOTHING about realDonaldTrump putting kids in cages.
Making poor children starve is a ProLife policy
And you trumpers think this is ok. Your family and families will be affected.
the farmers will fight it. as they make the most money off food stamps.
foodstamps SNAP
Taking food from children is evil. E-V-I-L Children cannot learn on an empty stomach. If they don't learn they are in for a lifetime of poverty, which leads to health issues, crime, depression. Trump brags about people being off these programs--he took them off.
Real reform for food stamps has been needed in most states for a long time now. It is ridiculously easy to get low or free lunches at school.
This is cruel but holla about Pro life but starving those children that are here, and no health care,
GovParsonMO aren’t you always spewing nonsense about caring for children?
I don’t understand why he would do this we the people need to fight back
kaplanikids Now break it down to show who Trump targeted. I suspect it was inner city democratic areas and not the republican strongholds who will vote for him, who take the most money from blue states to support their inability to “Pull themselves up from the bootstraps” Tell that story
Fake news
The GOP has allowed a very sick man, mentally, to get into office. And he wasn't legitimately voted in.
From the article: “About 96 percent of the children who would be slated to lose automatic enrollment under of the Trump administration's proposed rule would remain eligible for free or reduced school breakfasts or lunches, but they would have to fill out separate applications.”
Trump’s kkkhristianity is showing it’s true colors GOP
This is Cruel!!!!
Fake News. It’s not going to happen. It never does. It’s just a Dem and talking point. Typical, the sky is always falling......
Did you ever think they're being removed because their income has gone up that they can support their families now without needing help
President Trump is giving a master class on what to do about anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-family, Antifa and MS-13 loving Fake News. Where’s Yovanovitch, Taylor, Sondland, and Vindmand? Where’s the collusion, Avenatti. Where’s that recession? Hello? Fake News? Hello?
FireCrownEyes Except Trump has created more jobs and more pay, so get out n got a job!
WTF, THIS MAN IS SOOOOO EVIL!!!!
America is the greatest country in the world, to have this numbers of government dependent people is outrageous, teach a man how to fish is better than giving him fish.
The sad part is that DonTheCon supporters like that. They think only illegal immigrants and people of color are ripping off the system.
Must be something he prayed about....so, he is following what Jesus wants him to do....what a great Christian he is!
That’s one way to pay down astronomical debt from tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy!!
Great so many went to work and don’t need help
List the benefits/advantages to America by keeping ALL poor children hungry & undernourished; un- or undereducated; no access to medical/dental; living w/pollutants in water, food air; no safe housing, etc. Are they intentionally manufacturing a new class of Americans w/no hope?
I'm sure it will be OK. FakeNews
That old insane man doesn't care. He has to make money back from is tax cut to the rich. He could care less about people who need the most help. He could care if kids go hungry.
The Evangelical president won’t feed the poor.
Seems like NBC want's people on the government welfare dole. Because they are perpetually dependent on the government in order to eat. Welfare is not a way of life. It is a temporary program to help fill the gaps when you can't take care of yourself.
Ahhhhh...... The party that cares about children.
And it's only going to get worse. You've all been warned. There's still a chance to fix this for generations to come.
The evil within is now blatantly exposing itself at the expense of the most vulnerable. The world was watching daily, and now almost hourly in disgust witnessing the dissolution of a once great nation.
Start donating money to your local food banks to help them make up the difference.
That's a thing now, called JOB......everyone should get one. It works 😉
But but Pelosi ripped that speech up! The outrage !! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
They don’t tell you the people being kicked off don’t need it because they are abusing the system... 🤡🐸🤦🏽♂️
As nation we cheer as they cut taxes to corporations and the wealthy and then use that tax cut as an excuse to take away food from the poor. What have we become :(
how does he live with himself
The cruelty is endless.
Hey gop inconvenient
Pure unmitigated evil.
ChelseaClinton Hey idiot leave the food stamp program alone. There are people like me and my husband that needs them especially when there is only one income coming in which is mine.
RealJohnDennis How do you feel about this?
Why would 3 million people need SNAP assistance for food and a million children need lunch when the money can be spent on Space Force, Trump wall and endless post 9/11 wars which appeal a lot more to President Trump and his racist xenophobic red hat supporters.
Answer those ads for jobs. Wouldn't a person rather work for their money to buy whatever they want instead of having to use all those specific coupons for what the government dictates they should eat? Even part-timers could earn more than the vouchers provide. BTW, WIC isn't SNAP
And there was much rejoicing and slamming of vodka shots among the GOP
He will praise that he got 1,000,000 off welfare
model_daughters Did it even get a mention by the media? Did any presidential contender say anything? The cruelty is the commonplace.
model_daughters 😥
45 and his henchmen are pure evil!
GOP GENOCIDE
Is anyone surprised? Mr Christian president, the supposed prolife guy- taking food & meals away from needy children. Par for the course. He’s evil. He doesn’t care about the needs of others & certainly not about children. They can be denied food&separated from parents & caged.
If the economy is so great, why can't we afford to feed poor people?
This is evil.
Then Dear Leader can brag about 3 million fewer on food stamps. What's not to like?
People will die so the rich can get more tax breaks. This is abominable.
If it's anything good for humans at all, the brutal SOB will find a way to kill it. How is a cut from $150 to $12 a month in SNAP benefits for a disabled person on a fixed income 'lifting them out of welfare'? I believe the correct term is 'starving'.
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
We’ve elevated the most awful among us.
Oh, he's on like Donkey Kong. He's going to fix things up the way he likes it all. Enjoy. Democracy is DEAD.
Un-Fuckin-Believable.
Sad
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING
To offset the Federal changes, start donating to your community food banks fresh foods and not the outdated stuff out of your pantries!!
DictatorDonald
Lmao..it has zero effect on children,elderly and disabled...it Only applies to young abled bodied moochers with no dependents to get off their video games outa moms basement and get a job like rest of us....but I give fake news E for effort
Yes, this is what he wants. He wants kids, elderly, poor to DIE. When are people gonna get it through their heads that realDonaldTrump is a BAD person. Far worse than we ever thought.
And this at a time of greatest prosperity - lowest unemployment, highest stockmarket gains, wage increases, real gdp growth, blah blah blah. Shows what the criminal monster is really upto..
Trump deliberately lied in the SOTU. You need to point that out, too, in your tweet and story because there are still people gullible enough out there to believe a president wouldn't lie to them.
Prevent abortions then cage them and starve them...that Trump’s policy!
It will probably mean that that rich white kids get extra mcdonalds vouchers
His vacation spending could feed all these people. No one in America should go hungry!!!
A whole lotta Trump voters will be affected by this. Unfortunately, Trump will just say Democrats did it and his Tard voters will believe it
CrueltyIsThePoint
Now now. As long as the rich get their tax cuts.
The cruelty, and freeing up $ to pay for tax cuts is the point.
Everyone deserves food to eat, this is awful!
We have our president trump who believes he is king of all kings to thank for this !
This should surprise no one.
sam_vinograd 😭
alicetweet so you approve this policy?
The cruelty is the point.
HowDispicable
that'll make us great
Well of course he needs to make up he difference for the those huge Corporate tax breaks
ChelseaClinton Take the money the government will save, and give ALL students FREE LUNCH!
More lies deceit and fake news again
SHAME ON ALL TRUMP REPUBLICANS! How much was the party at Mar a Lago? GOP
This is sickening. They shove it at us non-stop that they are pro-life and yet they will allow children to starve
ChelseaClinton This is devastating to rural areas where this program has been supporting economic recovery adding jobs in food distribution and so on. stores in many rural communities survive on snap beneficiaries. What happens to those employees when they close?
ChelseaClinton Don’t have kids you can’t feed, it’s that simple!
Only one way to stop this is to vote for a new president and vote for the Dems to take back the senate and keep the house of congress in nov 2020 !
ChelseaClinton Well since kids can’t vote, GOP sees no possible down side to this policy change. Food from the mouths of children, the Republican way.
ChelseaClinton Making America great again! Way to go Trump
Manufactured Crisis
So if we can't cage them we can starve them to death? Damn America... Damn
And in that 3 million are the kids and grandkids of his base. They keeping drinking the cool-aid.
ChelseaClinton Meanwhile, the GOP call themselves “pro-life.”
He really doesn’t care about anything except himself
BRB0123 It will be the only way the Republican supporters will understand, once this guy starts cutting benefits for them, 💩tty insurance, plus many more cuts to come, we must remember he need to cover the rich tax cut by slashing benefits on the poor & middle families w/or w/o children
ChelseaClinton Nice man! Hurts the poor!
ChelseaClinton FLOTUS is this what you meant by bebest?
ChelseaClinton School lunch should be free to all
If your not rich then we don't matter!!!
Taxpayers pay for these crooked politicians to screw porn stars, golf, party, we pay for their booze and drugs, soda and junk food. Let's regulate their diets, how about THAT?
ChelseaClinton Cool, right GOP?
ChelseaClinton Money grubbing realDonaldTrump supported by money grubbing GOP senrobportman
ChelseaClinton In his SOTU Trump claimed he lifted people off welfare and off of food stamps. More like cruelly kicking them off. Despicable.
ChelseaClinton So evil to take this away from people who need it.

just another way he's making america great again I guess
Good work, Christians!
realDonaldTrump po s... do you know what that means. You hate children being healthy. Just like the children in cages. Is Melanies yours. Time for DNA even a mental health test you need testing for the Adderall/Sudafed you take
Cruelty is the point.
DianeGJones3 I just wonder how many children of Trump supporters will be affected by this change to SNAP? I suppose they will believe Trump when he blames the Democrats.
IvankaTrump would call this progress. The poor and children are made to suffer is what passes for American greatness. Give Trump 4 more years and homelessness and poverty will RISE.
I'm sure crime won't rise, as ppl struggle to feed themselves and their children. The elderly wont starve. It will all be just okay. 🙄
Cause the wealthier needs more.
Looks like the Trump family is eating pretty well. They look like a beef trust.
Cruelty is always the point.
ZerlinaMaxwell This country is just mean😢
MarciaBunney Saving money? Not REALLY
Anyone who worked as a cashier at a grocery store knows that food stamps are a joke.
Not all but many of the parents of these children are to blame. They spend their money on booze, cigarettes, tattoos, cell phones, cable tv, & possibly drugs. Once upon a time, people took care of their children, put their children’s necessities first before tats, cigs, booze.
Promises made, promises kept to screw the poor
How could they be so cruel? Oh sorry, had a brain fart, this is the Trump administration do totally expected.
GovHowardDean This is what Trump meant about getting people off foodstamps? Has he ever been hungry for a single day in his life? By the looks of him, Trump has probably never missed a meal.
ZerlinaMaxwell There is no bottom.
GovHowardDean as the president says 'chaos is a ladder'
So the StateOfTheUnion “failed” to mention WHY SNAP was at an all time low. 😒 bc they are taking🇺🇸who depend on SNAP off. If the economy was actually great for ALL🇺🇸 then seeing an⬆️in💵for ALL🇺🇸&a⬇️in SNAP would make sense. But that’s not where we are. TrumpIsALiar
DeniseDM5 And the class genocide continues.
This should be a plank in the 2020 DNC platform: nobody goes hungry.

Well shit, we all know he needs that money for his golf games, his kid’s travel with Secret Service protection and to charge the government $650 a night for rooms his entourage stay in.
POTUS fun facts.
And Trump will spend a big chunk of his $1billion to run ads on NBC claiming it never happened.
Be proud Republican Party! You will literally be taking food out of the mouths of poor kids that can’t afford to buy a school lunch . Thanks Betsy DeVos and Trump! Real nice move!
Only DESPOTS starve their own people. We are becoming NORTH KOREA
So cruel. This administration is deplorable.
This is SO DISGUSTING. Huge tax breaks for the wealthy, no food for the elderly and needy. We must destroy Trump & his CorruptGOP at the polls in November. I can barely stand another day of their cruelty. TrumpHatesTheNeedy
Most republicans want to take away a woman’s right to choose but it is ok to let kids go hungry or lock them in cages.
'Starve the Children' Great campaign slogan.
My son phoned me the other day and told me that at the store yesterday, a woman in front of him purchased alcohol and $100 in scratch-off lottery tickets. After doing the, she promptly paid her groceries with her EBT card....time to stop the fraud and abuse starting here and now
Not only that, Trump wants schools cafeterias to change menus. Taking fresh fruit & vegis out, replacing with fatty carbs. Pizza, french fried, hambergers, ect. He thinks it will save money. Hes sick
realDonaldTrump where was this in your propoganda video earlier?
MAGA MAGA2020 KAG KAG2020 DonTheCon still cool?
How many affected are veterans?
My sister gets around 2000$ and works under the table. She makes plenty of money to afford food. So she lets SNAP get her and the kids food and lives a great life in a nice house! I get onto her about it all the time.
Good!
POS
but as long as Trump still gets to spend millions of taxpayers $ at his own properties... it's okay right?
No ones will be starving after stop buying $150 sneakers.
Because there are more than 3,000,000 people abusing the system. If you want to send a voluntary donation to them, knock yourself out.
FLOTUS BeBest - Thank you for what you did that’s being undone MichelleObama
The cruelty is the point, example infinity.
Trump is the anti-christ and anti-human 🤬
Trump's DeathStampAct. CNN MSNBC ABC CBSNews nytimes MaddowBlog foxandfriends washingtonpost FOXNews
thug regime
Cut taxes to the filthy rich to take food out of poor people's and children's mouths.
Buddhists4Pete This is why I'm not so concerned when people dare speak the name of FLOTUS's son. If this is how you treat other people's children, don't come crying to me. BeBest
so short sighted. homelessness will increase and of course health care costs will because noone is turned away at the ER.
And here we are again where the GOP threatens the livelyhoods of POC by dismantling the infrastructure that they have been mooching on for years. Truly sad. Reeeeeemember to vote blue no matter who!! REEEEEEsist
Republicans will do anything to punish Americans
Trump has created a national culture of cruelty. But that's what malignant narcissists do. 'A person with malignant narcissism has the potential to destroy families, communities, nations, and work environments.'
Umm, this will hit the rural Trump voters too...man, you hate to see it 😂
Hardly.......he is not taking away from people who need it....only abusers
Ironically, it's more than likely those that are negatively affected by this will continue to support this guy
'Making America Great
God going to sit and let evil Trump and his administration destroys all the assistant programs that could help the need.
Deplorable
thanksRepublicans 🤮
Just cuz he was born with a silver spoon, he does not know reality!!
realDonaldTrump IvankaTrump Another inhumane act by you and your administration. One thing is certain, none of the Trumps will go to heaven
And the unemployment rate at a historic low. Employers desperately seeking employees. Get the able off the dole and back to work! Then maybe more money for the truly needy.
FLOTUS ...the only First Lady ever to give the Medal of Freedom to a racist while married to a moron who takes school lunches away from children. At the same time, her BeBest campaign is no more than a poorly executed publicity stunt.
DonaldTrump is discusting!
Understandable that no child should go hungry. Maybe consider deporting more illegals, so there’s more money to feed US citizens, instead of giving the welfare money to people who aren’t here legally? Or does this wild idea make liberals heads want to explode from the quandry?
making the parents have a small semblance of responsibility. The kids will never go without but these parents should have to work for it. This is the same thinking as it USA fault that kids are detained when their parents break the law. Just get a job, plenty of them available
Fake news
Hey 'A hole',what happened to draining the swamp?Why are you hurting lower class citizens?
And you support this SenatorLankford? Taking food from kids, how “Christian” of you🙄
I'm really confused. While Trump touting his glory at the Prayer Breakfast and then the 'Celebration' address, this is happening?
Americans need the 🏧 to pay for realDonaldTrump weekly ⛳ trips
Why you ask?...
Pheh! You are not making over $1000,000 per Year? We don't Care about You!
This is simply not true. The rules in place will be enforced and a lot of people will not automatically qualify but will end up in the program.
Let's see what this new rule really does. The Trump administration has indicated that 'school lunches' will not be effected. We shall have to wait and see if this report is accurate or not.
The state of Kentucky represented by Rand Paul & Mitch McConnell, is highly dependent on government subsidies (welfare), probably more than any other state they will seriously hurt if this proposition passes...
2/2 and then there is Mitch’s home state, high on the list of states receiving federal aid...
Not very smart since I bet a large percent are his cult followers
1/2 How will Walmart employees be able to feed their families? What a lot of wingnuts don’t seem to understand is there are a significant number of people who are working not just one job, sometimes 2 or 3 & still can’t afford to feed their family, pay rent & health insurance ...
SLAM, take that Republicans.
Time to shave 🪒 the fat and weed out people who should not be there!!
US citizens or illegals?
Republican never saw a poor child that they wanted to help. CorruptGOP coward SNAP
And then he'll boast that the economy is booming and thousands are off of food stamps because of his leadership. Do Americans not see how deceitful this is?
Food stamp abuse is real and ignoring it won't make it go away.
How ProLife of GOP and realdonaldtrump
While he has a $3.5 million Super Bowl party
WWJD Cult45
Dumb stereotype Bigots don’t care about how it will hurt children; but they also fail to realize the overall effect it’ll have on farmers, grocery stores, distribution centers. If they look pass their hate they’d see it could effect jobs.
Another giant step towards turning the US into third world plutrocracy
NBC leftist socialist lies and propaganda.
We need to cut back, but not this way. Let’s put smart people on the task...
Maybe realDonaldTrump can tell parents to stop getting tattoos, buy drugs, alchohol, expensive shoes, clothes. With the welfare checks. They trade food stamps at .50 cents on the dollar.
Better get to work
Great. I'm tired of 'you people' with your free handouts
About 96 percent of the children who would be slated to lose automatic enrollment under of the Trump administration's proposed rule would remain eligible for free or reduced school breakfasts or lunches, but they would have to fill out separate applications.
fucktrump
This is just cruel and it's child abuse by this corrupt, heartless admin.
Working poor people sometimes can afford food people will go hungry because of this but the Republicans continue to benefit from tax breaks ,contract awarding and hush dealings the corrupt Republicans are a disgrace
Making America 'greater'. The rich get richer. hypocrite impeached4life
3million,single, able bodied ADULTS. What exactly seems to be the problem?
Calling bullshit
Trump and fend for themselves to all American who cannot afford food or roof over their heads because of bills they have to pay. Low wages still plague our communities.
MAGA
Trump: give us your poor..we will degrade, humiliate and starve them. They are all part of a deep state plan to drain Me He is the antichrist
Can we concentrate on finding those that REALLY do not need the program? I am so tired of listening to people tell me how to work the system” while they drive their new cars and watch their new big screens. Also take them from the repeat drug offenders that refuse treatment.
I have no problem with states having the flexibility to meet unique circumstances as long as they are using state dollars to pay for extra cost.
You have to follow 2 article links to realize the proposed change is that they have to work 80 hours a month. Lol. 80 HOURS A MONTH FOLKS, THATS TEN DAYS IN A MONTH
Fake News.realDonaldTrump
DaggumRoy Space Force, The Wall, Gold Trips....
Food stamps and other government programs were never put in place to be a lifestyle. They were designed to help those in need. There should be limits on all of it!
Duh.. It's because those people didn't and aren't going to vote for him anyway..
igorvolsky And the republicans cheered LOUDLY for this at SOTU2020
How is this MAGA
Now would be a good time for communities to help families affected to regain access to food & get them registered to vote. Many poorer folks aren’t registered to vote because they’re too busy getting the basics of life.
Disgusting IvankaTrump 🇺🇸
In NY folk can use snap in restaurants

How did people survive before massive government handouts?
There's more than 3,000,000 abusing the food stamp program today , should kids say 40 lbs overweight receive free lunch ? More than 1,000,000 kids don't need school lunch , parents with food stamps have enuff for 3 meals a Day, so kids should Brown bag it like I did
'If a man will not work, neither shall he eat.'--II Thessalonians 3:10.
960,000 of the children will still get free lunch, just not automatically enrolled.
