Unacceptable to harm the poor who need food & medical care in order to line the pockets of wealthy people who have more than enough money.

Hurt the needy to enrich the greedy.

Great Christian group of people huh ?

If they thought the economy sucked before the election….

mmchol.bsky.social•95 days ago

Anything that helps the citizenry is "wasteful." Can't believe he's going after veterans first.

The cult followers will never see it no matter what anyone says. Unfortunately, when the damage is in their pocket they will be saying “I didn’t vote for him”. I’m just trying to distance myself from anyone I know voted for him.

Cutting food benefits from the Trump administration would save a lot more money.
They eat triple the amount than chidlren

windycity54.bsky.social•94 days ago

And those who voted for him have voted against their own interests! I just don't get it.

itsmetrish.bsky.social•95 days ago

That's how Republicans are. They don't care what policies hurt people until it impacts them.

kt-bluetwo.bsky.social•95 days ago

We tried to tell people this would happen but they elected the twice impeached convicted felon anyway! 🫤

igotarock2.bsky.social•95 days ago

This could have been a much bigger story before the election if only the media cared enough to find out. 😞

jujubeeeee.bsky.social•95 days ago

And the red states will suffer the most! These imbeciles keep voting against their own interests. Can’t fix stupid!

justme101.bsky.social•95 days ago

There really are no words for such behavior. Totally disgusting. I don’t know how we’ll make it through the next four years.

pls16.bsky.social•95 days ago

Hmmm. Gotta be Rs on Medicaid. Wonder what they will think

regina77.bsky.social•95 days ago

But MAGA is the poor. Idiots.

devout-optimist.bsky.social•95 days ago

Infinitely predictable.

glogurl.bsky.social•95 days ago

They are greedy bastards.

peterjameszarrella.bsky.social•95 days ago

all the damned problems with the budget he created from 2016 on! people are going to be amazed on what the won't get anymore, but not protest because they are too embarrassed to say they were wrong voting for him!

Pathetic Men In Name Only‼️

gvincejr.bsky.social•95 days ago

Get the pitchforks

mirynika.bsky.social•95 days ago

Aren't a lot of his supporters on Medicaid and SNAP? LOL.

gallaecian.bsky.social•95 days ago

The majority probably are.

quantly.bsky.social•95 days ago

Never understood why persons with low income support him. Do they think they will be exempt from his policies?

bendupuis.bsky.social•95 days ago

Thing is, the needy voted for him😏 cut education and control the media is MAGA way

johnmcmd.bsky.social•95 days ago

Social entitlements has been the GOP long-game for some time

But grocery prices, right? 😢

weareverysorry.bsky.social•95 days ago

I think that every time this lunatic and his band of merry cronies say and eventually do these awful things, there needs to be one standard response:
Donald Trump cut your Medicaid benefits. Don’t blame the Democrats.

weareverysorry.bsky.social•95 days ago

So you’re saying J.D. Vance never cared about his peeps in Appalachia. So shocking.

zacster911.bsky.social•95 days ago

To offset the tax breaks he's given and is about to give to the rich.

nomorefs.bsky.social•95 days ago

Likely he’ll just spin it in another hateful way and they’ll eat it his lies again

hanaaloha65.bsky.social•95 days ago

🤬🤬🤬

ivanasstaircam.bsky.social•95 days ago

Why were voters OK with this? I still can’t believe this is happening. 😖

independentoutrage.bsky.social•95 days ago

They don't believe the bad stuff about him. I talked with quite a few MAGA voters & they couldn't believe I thought all the nasty things he said & did was true, UNTIL I told them I worked in NYC for a bit in the 80's & saw his nonsense close up.

carolinablueskies.bsky.social•95 days ago

His voters did not care. They identified with an angry man who gave them permission to be angry at those they hated. All the time paying no heed to the consequences they would pay with his election. Paraphrasing, “And in the end, the hate you get is equal to the hate you give”.
