Trump isn’t canceling travel, golf or his ballroom amid government shutdown
With the government shutdown now nearing the one month mark, tensions flaring on Capitol Hill. — SNAP
— recipients shouldn’t go without food. People should be getting paid in this country. And we’ve tried to do that 13 times. 13. 42 million Americans are set to lose food assistance at the end of this week. Democrats and Republicans scrambling with dueling proposals to try to extend funding for the SNAP program, also known as food stamps. Senate Majority Leader John Thune blocking a Democratic bill to carve out funding for. Saying Democrats should instead vote to reopen the government. Democrats claim the Trump administration has other ways of paying for SNAP and say they won’t agree to reopen the government until Republicans extend healthcare subsidies to prevent premiums from skyrocketing. We don’t want to pit healthcare and food. They do. We think you can have both. Americans on Obamacare are now getting their first look at just how much more they could pay next year. One research group saying premiums will rise an average of 26%, — but those currently on subsidies could see premiums
— double. I’m at $2.45 right now, so that’s kind of scary. — Back at
— food banks, what could be a more urgent crisis. I’m concerned that the numbers are going to probably double every day. Patricia Lamb stretches about $130 a week in SNAP benefits to feed herself and her grandkids, — and this month’s money is
— almost gone. Am I not going to pay my mortgage? Am I not going to pay my power bill, my gas bill? President Trump has said his administration would figure out a way to keep food benefits flowing, but so far there’s been no concrete details. Nicole D’Antonio, ABC News, Washington.
Republican leaders in Congress said it’s all or nothing as they rejected a Democratic push to carve out food aid funding for more than 40 million Americans.

Well i dont know if your going to pay your mortgage or your gas bill but i guess this month the American taxpayers don't have to pay your grocery bill
Trump already said that as soon as the DEMOCRAPS open the government, he would be more that happy to sit down with them and negotiate. In the mean time he is on the world stage trying to bring peace between countries.
Why should he?
Yaaayy! I love that man! I can’t wait to see his beautiful children and wife waltz. I love his family too! The dumbocrats have no idea how shameful they are making us look. We are not like this! A true patriot American is not like that! God will end their stupidity one way or another. Like any true Father would! Sheila Presson
Congress and senate is still getting paid
Of course not…..WE CAN STARVE….BUT THE LYING NAZI PEDO SEX TRAFFICKING ACCOMPLICE PIG CAN GOLF🖕🖕🖕🖕🌮🐔🌮🐔🌮🐔🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🤢🤮🤬
Good
All but 2 demonrats voted to keep the government shut down.
Democrats own this shut down 100%!
They are using the PAIN of Americans “AS LEVERAGE.” Their words.
I am an EX DEMOCRAT now
Just by reading these comments, it seems like people actually knows what goes on in the white house, and they know Trump personally
Why should he?
I remember when rich rich liberals kept a homeless shelter
out of my neighborhood.
Grow up you democrats
40 BILLION FOR ARGENTINA AND AMERICANS CAN'T AFFORD FOOD, HOUSING, OR HEALTHCARE .
TRUMP IS A DISGRACE AND A FAILURE TO AMERICANS.
He did his job by submitting a budget it’s the Dems who want to give $ to non-citizens
The Republicans won't be worth a good shit after next November.
Why should he? This is a congresses mess, if the democrats would actually put the people first, maybe we could resolve this.
Why should President Trump change his plans. Democrats are truly ignorant.
Good. He shouldn't cancel anything except congressional paychecks with no back pay until Schumer and co. Open the government
Why should he? The Democrats are the ones demanding 1.5 Trillion in spending, not Trump or the Republicans. This was a clean CR. No additions from Republicans. Only from Democrats. 1.5 Trillion in additions to be exact! There was an offer from the Republicans to extend the Covid healthcare subsidies for one year to give both sides time to work on healthcare. The Democrats declined to even consider it! So much for this being about healthcare! Who voted for Obamacare? The Democrats. That is what the Democrats are saying will be unaffordable. Obamacare. Now they want the Covid pandemic subsidies that THEY put a time limit on to expire at the end of 2025 to become a permanent addition to Obamacare. Obviously, Obamacare was unaffordable when it was made into a law. Why did they make an unaffordable healthcare for the American people in the first place??!! Make it make sense!!
What's Bernies net worth? Why don't Socialists support the social welfare programs? Why aren't they living poor? These hypocrites are so generous with other people's money.
Oh, sure, and the democrats are completely innocent of the shutdown. It absolutely cracks me up that a 2nd term president is being blamed for decades of congressional corruption and total failure. Not to mention treason because congress has pushed Americans aside in favor of people who hate the US. But no, nothing gets done because the democrats are afraid Trump is gonna fart and they won't get to smell it. You can't make this up it's so stupid. Oh, and the new ballroom being built at the WH….so what?? It's being paid for by private donors. Fun fact….when democrat President Harry Truman was in office, the WH was gutted minus the outside walls. Yet you libs have yet to mention it. That's because it's okay if democrats do it… but the Republicans are not allowed to. Typical democratic double standards.
To quote Donald Trump this morning: "South Carerddd" HE'S OFF HIS ROCKER AND YOU ALL KNOW IT.
President Trump and the republicans have already done their jobs it’s the democrats that are failing the American people once again, the democrats had no problem pushing Obama care thru even tho it tripled most Americans premiums.
The communist dummycrats want free everything for the illegals. Nonsense. As a side note, how the hell are 42 million people on food aid.😮
Wild how democrats think they can shut down or destroy the country and think patriots and Americans aren’t still gonna work and defend it
Just remember Democrats are using lower income Americans as leverage to attempt to get healthcare for illegals.
Get a JOB !!!! Quit begging!!! Feed yourselves!!!
Im glad! Government lifers need to get real jobs. Keep this bad boy shut down!
My cousin paid 1 cent for Obamacare the first year but the 2nd it went up over $300 and that was after the 2nd year it was available and nothing changed with her health or income. So this raise started even before now. It never has been that affordable after the 1st year.
More distractions
trump is a cancer.
He didn’t cause this. Why should he. Golf away.
Propaganda
He’s not canceling any of those things because unlike every other president in history, none of those things are being funded by the taxpayer. But be sure to omit the facts so the simple minded democrats will eat every word of this hyperbole like flies eat 💩
Call your Democrat Senator and have them sign the clean continuing resolution that they already voted for. Do you realize the Republicans voted 13 times to open the government, stop listening to this propaganda.
What should Trump do?!! Sit in the Oval office… Twidling his thumbs…. Waiting for a call from corrupt democRAT clowns who are hurting American citizens while they play political games?!! We do NOT negotiate with far left terrorists. The democRATS OWN this shutdown!
It’s up to the Senate to do THEIR job now. The Democrats WANT Americans to feel pain.
Why are the Republicans acting like they’re concerned. They get paid all the members of Congress are getting paid, but no one else. Funny how that works. Back in the early days of this country representatives of the newly formed. Congress were only paid per day and only if they got something done. Yet we have all these people that don’t even show up to work at Congress and they still get paid. That’s mostly Democrats. In fact, it’s all the Democrats. So what tells you that therefore you as a citizen of these United States. Do you feel good about your Democratic representative or a congress person? I wouldn’t think so but apparently you think we’re all bad people, the Republicans. yet the Democrat are bitching and moaning about everything yet they’re still getting paid. And Pelosi is still making money during insider trading that if I did that, I’d be put in jail for the rest of my life. But Nancy can do that good for her thief. You’re just a loser bitch, drunk ass thief! And Nancy Pelosi gets paid just like all your other senators who aren’t showing up for work all you Democratic representative senator fuckers. Take our money and paying yourself. And you’re doing nothing all democratic members of Congress should be fined or at least not paid like they really need the money anyway. Thieves. At least the Republicans side of Congress are doing something. But what are the Democrats doing? Not a fucking thing. And you people think it’s OK well, maybe you should get your representatives or congress people whatever you call him and tell him to get off their ass or you’re gonna get someone else. That’s what I dobut you Democrats seem to think that we’re bad people when it was you Democrats that had your representatives making outrageous request of $1.5 trillion to bring your illegals back into the country or use that for other than all Americans doesn’t make any goddamn sense you stupid fuckers.
No pay for congress. It isn’t Trump’s fault
The answer is simple. Trump does not care at all about American citizens. If he can't grift money for himself, he has no interest in the topic. Find out how how he is making money on the ballroom and you'll learn why he doing it. Probably holds an interest in the company doing the work or just plain being bribed.
If elected as the next POTUS, I will convert a large part of the ballroom into a Department of Constitution Protection, National No Kings Museum open to the public and put up a warning plaque to be careful who you vote for.
He is not in the house he is not in the Senate. He has nothing to do with it…ALL 53 Republicans voted yes three Democrats voted yes we need four more. Stop lying
