I have a feeling that come Saturday.....

Trump and his goons are going to miraculously come up with the money to continue the SNAP program?

This way Trump can say he saved the poor people from poverty?

I would hope they do, but the fact that he would score points off the stunt is nothing more a joke.

But Trump doesn't give a shit about SNAP recipients. He only cares about himself and people who can give him money. And he certainly isn't going to listen to any Democrats on the issue. He's more malicious towards the Democrats than he's ever been. The Charlie Kirk shooting gave him all the excuse he needed.

But he loves being in the spotlight and his image would be good in his base’s eyes! Scoring points his way of being a strong leader!

He doesn’t do anything that actually helps people, or because he cares about struggling Americans, he only does it for bragging rights to make himself look good.

but to the rest of the world he's just an asshole. He's one of the most hated men in the world. I'm beginning to wonder if Johnson will ever reconvene the House. Between the Epstein files and the escalation of tensions in South America, Trump is taking full advantage of Congress's absence. And of course, there's the beginnings of martial law at home. It's a lot easier being a dictator when you don't have oversight.
