    President Trump promised to govern for the “forgotten men and women” in this country…and yet he is trying to cut benefits for almost 20% of SNAP recipients by recalculating how states assess & deliver utility assistance as part of his #WarOnWorkingFamilies #TrumpsBrokenPromises

        The implied distinction is between the deservedly forgotten and the undeservedly forgotten.

        When is someone going to tell him how many white people use SNAP?

        Many of Trumps supporters are out here in the Midwest. The Midwest has an extremely large number of SNAP recipients according to the Dept of Agriculture. Let's see how they stick with Trump after he touches those foodstamps.

        They will stick with him. They will never admit they gaff been played. I hope one day he accidentally admits it. On tape. Oh well, they won’t believe that either. Hannity will gaslight them and they will buy it.

        He can’t forget people that he never acknowledged existed.

        TweetO does not care about citizens unless they’re going to vote for him.

        @realDonaldTrump is poor and low income white people’s idol, and their biggest threat. They’re just to blinded by their shared kindred racism, and fears of diversity to spot the wolf in sheep’s clothing made in China!

        At the same time he's cutting SNAP, Trump is shoveling $28 billion out to bailout agribusiness due to losses from his trade war.
