You are acting like a lot of Trump voters are on food stamps. Only 8.7% of white people in Florida(about the national average) are on food stamps compared to 30% of blacks and 25% of Hispanics(that number is likely much higher because there's a "mixed" demographic). And the majority of those are probably Democrats

And most of that is Justin

If you'd have asked me 6 months ago if Trump was going to get re-elected I would have said for sure... now? lol... it pretty much doesn't matter who the Dems put up unless it's Hillary again. He won't be the president in 2021.

And the further the economy starts to back slide, the bigger of a gap the next election will be.

Why would the GOAT of ISH that’s had such a positive impact on Jeff’s life ever have to worry about not having a free meal on his plate ever again? :confusedshrug:

Between that and the $10k purse for the fight that’s about to go down, he ain’t going hungry that’s for damn sure. :applause:

Blue collar workers, Manufacturing industry, walmart shoppers, middle America and farmers..all voted for Trump, all hurting because of his policies.

one would think that Justin would be stoked that Trump and Co want to put an end to the BBCE

The unfortunate part of all of this is that red leaning states, on average, take in more federal dollars than they contribute. Cuts in federal spending are almost always certain to hit red states the hardest. This is one of the main reasons why Republicans only pay lip service to reforms to the social security program, but in practice, have no desire to make any changes. States like Florida, Pennsylvania and Michigan are in the top 10 of states with the oldest populations.

Farmers and coal miners have caught on. They are not happy with this administration at all.

I've always gotten the sense that he did not really want to be President, but it seems like he is now actively sabotaging himself. Stephen Miller will end up being the end of this Presidency if Trump continues to listen to him.

Yea, I was going to list the coal miners too, but I can't think of anything Trump has done done specifically to hurt them. It's just more of the fact that we are moving away from coal and it's not coming back, no matter how hard Trump tries. It was a lost cause that everyone could see even before the election, bringing back mining jobs was just lip service and we all knew it. His policies have directly affected farmers, manufacturers and middle America though.

He wants black people back out in the fields picking crops like in the good ol days. MAGA!

I wouldn't count out the Dems propensity to grab defeat from the jaws of victory but yeah, he's sabotaging his chances at reelection. All he really had to do was sit back and ride out the economy but his trade policies seem to be bringing about the eventual recession sooner rather than later.

The GOP is a cancer what's new? Trump knows jack shit about Food Stamps. That doesn't absolve him - ignorance but it's what it's. The MIC eats that 10 billion like a fat kid eating a McNugget for breakfast.

Nothing new.

I think the issue with the miners is that he lied to them. He promised to help bring their industry back in spite of the obvious headwinds against coal. Now, as mine after mine closes, he has abandoned them. When was the last time he talked about beautiful coal and bringing coal mining jobs back. Some of these guys are losing their health insurance while suffering with respiratory disease and it's crickets from the White House. His policies have also led to more mining deaths.

[Cleverness]

The U.S. has seen low levels of unemployment, which is seen as a major factor in low levels of participation in the program. President Trump tweeted earlier this month that food stamp use is at a 10-year low. Politifact verified the claim.

Wow, sounds like good news?

Or is it bad news we have less people on food stamps?



"Red states" have non-Trump voters too. Millions of them.

This is news to several posters ITT.

[tpols]

need to start putting pre reqs on who and how many kids people can have. bullshit that having a kid lets you leech off the system, its basically a free job/pass for life while being a huge net negative.

Under this proposed rule, people whose gross income is 130 percent above the federal poverty line (slightly more than $16,000 for one person) or have more than $2,250 in assets, will no longer qualify to receive federal food benefits.

If he keeps drawing hurricane paths with black sharpies, almost anyone in the Democratic field will have a good shot.
