Mr. Trump, have you no shame?
On Saturday November 1, many SNAP beneficiaries found that, as predicted, their SNAP benefit accounts had not been replenished. Meanwhile, the night before SNAP benefits were suspended, Trump threw a lavish Great Gatsby party at Maralago.
We will never know how many mothers went without food to feed their children, and how many children had to miss meals as well. FYI, in Wisconsin, the monthly SNAP allocation for a family of three is $204.
Those of us who are privileged enough to always have enough cash to buy a box of macaroni and a carton of milk must not forget that this is not the experience of many people who depend on SNAP for basic nutrition.
Meanwhile, some MAGA influencers are running around with their hair on fire because the Amazon website shows that lobster and caviar are EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer, i.e. SNAP) eligible, implying that poor people are actually choosing to blow their small SNAP allocation on lobster rather than macaroni and oatmeal.
The hate and stereotyping know no end.
