Weaponizing Food : Dotard Goes "Great Gatsby" - While Refusing Court's Demands to Provide SNAP Benefits

 

              Trump dines at 'Great Gatsby' dinner as SNAP benefits are cut for millions ("A little party never killed anyone".)

Trump starves children, the elderly and disabled, while holding lavish “Great Gatsby” parties for his rich friends, more concerned with his $400 million ballroom and gilded bathroom renovations. We watch him stand idly by, unconcerned and annoyed, as a man collapsed in the Oval Office.  How much of this will Americans take? - WaPo Comment

Nope, you cannot make this shit up, folks, Traitor Trump actually barked out earlier today (on his pathetic Untruth Social)  that federal food benefits provided through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will go out only when Democrats vote to end the ongoing government shutdown.  Does this fucking dirtbag even grasp he’s putting the health and lives of 42 million Americans at risk? Oh wait. Of course not. The orange fungus could care less. He wants to entertain ‘Great Gatsby’ type dining fests at Mar-a-Lago e.g. see the top image.

"Let 'em eat cake, or sawdust!"

While the needy have to live on scraps or starve while they scratch for whatever they can at food banks, since this fleabag old fart wants to weaponize food. Something the Nazis did in 1932-33 to the Jews in Germany in an effort to drive them from the country.

In a post on Truth Social, Bonespurs wrote that SNAP benefits "will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before!"

Trump's comment comes a day after administration lawyers told a federal court in Rhode Island that it would tap into a contingency fund to issue partial food stamp payments for November. The Justice Department said in a filing that the Department of Agriculture would provide states with information necessary for calculating the benefits due to each eligible household, which would allow states to then begin disbursements.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said on X that her agency sent that guidance to states Tuesday morning, but warned it would be a "cumbersome process" that could result in a weeks-long delay in food stamp payments going out recipients.

 If there was any question of whether Donnie Bonespurs Trump  is not demented, i.e. was feeling the pressure of the first test of his power, popularity and policies during his second term as key elections are underway, it was demolished hours ago. He remains the verminous vile swine he always was from the time he came down the escalator at Trump Tower 10 years ago.

How so?  The first felon president has spent the morning sending a torrent of social media posts attacking Democrats, stoking fears about Republicans losing the midterms, ranting about local elections and disparaging voters. What about the food needs of 42 million including 20 million kids? He doesn’t give a rat’s ass?  All he cares about is getting his giant ball room constructed and holding even bigger events to enrich himself and his grifting family.  Oh, and getting more retribution on his political enemies.

Here's a clue for this orange fucker. Today's elections are going to deliver a first  notice that sentient citizens are sick and tired of his Hitler strongman antics and are sending a message a House takeover by the Dems is on its way.  You got it: The tales of the Democrats in their graves and buried are premature. The elections today will show why.

Supreme Court Ruling on SNAP Benefits Leaves Families in Limbo - The New York Times

Excerpt:

Millions of low-income families around the country confronted new delays and disruptions to their food stamp benefits on Saturday, after a late-night Supreme Court order allowed the Trump administration to continue withholding some funding for the nation’s largest anti-hunger program.

Only one day earlier, states including Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and Oregon had started sending full benefits to the roughly one in eight Americans who receive aid each month, seeking to put an end to weeks of uncertainty and spare the poorest Americans severe financial hardship.

But the process appeared to grind to a halt on Friday night. The Supreme Court granted an emergency request by the Trump administration to pause an order issued by a federal judge, who had required the White House to fully fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.

The decision once again upended food stamps, which are funded by the federal government and administered by states. It marked the latest turn in a weekslong battle waged by local leaders and nonprofits, which have filed multiple lawsuits to ensure that about 42 million low-income Americans would not lose their ability to buy groceries during the federal shutdown.

Judge Orders Trump Administration to Fully Fund SNAP Benefits This Month - The New York Times

Excerpt:

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Thursday to fund food stamps in full for roughly 42 million low-income Americans, after admonishing the government for delaying aid under the nation’s largest anti-hunger program during the shutdown.

But the Justice Department almost immediately told the court that it would appeal the ruling. The move renewed fears that the poorest Americans would not receive their full benefits to purchase groceries this month, leaving many at risk of imminent and severe financial hardship.

Judge McConnell attributed the inappropriate delay, in part, to an attempt by President Trump and his aides to disrupt the program “for political reasons.” He also pointed to public comments by Mr. Trump, who said at one point that he would halt all food stamp payments until Democrats struck a deal to end the shutdown, now in its sixth week.

‘He’s Coming Unhinged’: Trump Goes Off On an Imaginary Enemy He Never Names, Calls Ugly, and Brags About Winning a Fight That Only He Remembers

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump has found a new enemy — though even he won’t say who it is.

In a furious late-night post, Trump hurled insults at an unnamed figure he called “a criminal,” “a lowlife,” and “ugly inside and out,” before bizarrely bragging that he had already “beaten him badly.” The tirade appeared to reference a years-old political fight that still consumes him.

Only later did it become clear who Trump was talking about: President Joe Biden — the man who actually defeated him in 2020.

Trump has never gotten over losing the 2020 presidential election or the Jan. 6 investigation that followed. He and his cronies have repeated ad nauseum, over and over for five years now, that the 2020 election was “rigged” or “stolen,” which it was not.

Trump hosted 'Gatsby'-themed party at Mar-A-Lago on eve of SNAP cutoff

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump hosted a Great Gatsby-themed party at Mar-A-Lago on Oct. 31, as multiple federal judges ruled the administration could not stop funding food aid amid the ongoing government shutdown.

The party was labeled "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody" according to multiple media attendees. The title was drawn from a song on the soundtrack of the 2013 movie adaptation of "The Great Gatsby."

Attendees included Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Ivanka and Tiffany Trump, and their husbands, Jared Kushner and Michael Boulos, according to ABC News.

Guests were seen mimicking "Roaring 20's" era attire, a period just before the Great Depression that historians note for its staggering income inequity. History.com notes that in 1928 the top 1% of families received 23.9% of all pretax income and about 60% of families made less than the income level the Bureau of Labor Statistics classified as the minimum livable income for a family of five.

In 2024, Donald Trump became the first president in U.S. history to win an election despite four criminal indictments — one of which resulted in a conviction on 34 counts — and two impeachments. And the thing that did the most to get Trump past the finish line was the economy. Trump campaigned on affordability, promising to lower prices "on Day 1" and narrowly winning the popular voting by roughly 1.5 percent.

But Trump's steep new tariffs, according to Paul Krugman, Robert Reich and many other economists, are making the United States less, not more, affordable.

In an article published by The Guardian on November 2, journalist cpoints to Jeffersonville, Ohio as an example of a midwestern town where tariffs are having a negative impact.

And should be removed from office immediately. Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides the legal framework for removal of a president who is unfit or unable to discharge his or her duties. It authorizes the vice president, along with a majority of the principal officers of the administration (the Cabinet) to submit a declaration of unfitness to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

This of course won't happen. The vice president and the Cabinet are all partners in crime with their boss. That makes them at least criminals without conscience, and likely criminally insane as well.
