      Ughh of course hes gonna try to take credit for doing the thing he’s legally required to do.

    2. He wants to look like a hero. Saddam did too. And Hitler. And my High School football coach, and that guy was a real dick.

      It’s funny how these possible outcomes weren’t thought of ahead of time. Either his staff is incompetent or he’s lying again. Usually, advisors will tell you if you do this, this may happen.

    4. Correction: Republicans have caused this shutdown. And Trump is required to allow SNAP to continue with providing food for people who need it. He’s not fooling anyone with an IQ over 12 with his consistent lying.

    5. He doesn’t need court authority to use the funds. This is clear to everyone right? His admin decided to misinterpret and even hide language by deleting it from a gov website that clearly lays out snap is funded for any disturbance in funding. His admin is being sued to release the funds because they decided not too.

      He was always either going to ignore it and blame Democrats for it not happening or he was going to capitulate, pretend it was his idea, and act like he did it in spite of Democrats.

      MAGA would have accepted either.

    7. Holy crap I can’t stand his logic. This is a guy that is worried about giving funds to SNAP while on the other hand building a ballroom. How does this make sense?

      Uh… you and the republicans already run the show. You and the republicans aren’t opening congress because you are partly trying to kill the ACA and partly because of the Epstein files. So sit down, you potato.

    9. But sir, with tears in our eyes, we must remind you that you and the republicans run the government and can’t keep blaming the democrats for all your short comings.

    10. The benefits will be released the day before elections. Classic Trump move…I guess we’ll see.

    11. If you can order the extrajudicial execution of suspected criminals, you can pay SNAP. Use money from your ball cage, er ball room.

      So he wants to pay for snap but is doing everything possible to avoid doing it? How can anyone want this man in power

    13. All hail King Louis the XVI, thank you your lord ship for the scraps you have bestowed upon us we peasants. I hope history treats you just as well as the real Louis the XVI.

      Step 1: Shit on the carpet.

      Step 2: Blame Democrats.

      Step 3: Pick up the turd.

      Step 4: Demand praise. (Note: still holding turd, carpet still stained)

      So NOW he wants to listen to the court (as long as it backs him)?

      He never cared about this before, so why doesn’t he just defy the courts and continue SNAP?

    16. Gloomy_Yoghurt_2836 on

      Heard he was court ordered to release the funds but is leaving g Tuesday vard readers inactive. Courts didn’t order they be working.

    17. Damn us radical democrats for keeping the government closed while the republicans that have the power of all three branches of government build a ballroom and host parties at their Florida estates.

      I usually don’t read run on rambles from the loony toon but if someone could teach him to break into paragraphs so my eyes don’t bleed out I’d appreciate it.

      I remember learning that in 6th grade, Ms Robinson was a real old battle axe about grammar, sentence structure and when to end a rant.

      She did teach English so it makes sense and I wonder whatever happened to her.

    19. dnemonicterrier on

      It’s not up to the courts to tell Trump how to fund something, he should know how to do that because he’s President, boy is this guy dumb as fuck!

    20. StrainExternal7301 on

      calling it now, “I have cleared all hurdles and SNAP funds are being released. I have saved Thanksgiving. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

      Release the files.

    21. Meanwhile, he’s unconcerned about government lawyers not having the legal authority to [deport American citizens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detention_and_deportation_of_American_citizens_in_the_second_Trump_administration) or murder people in international waters – both of which have [consensus among legal experts](https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/11/01/trump-boat-strikes-international-law-interview-00632077) that both efforts are illegal.

      It will become the new talking point for his cult of slow adults: “GoVeRnMeNt LaWyErS sAy TrUmP dOeSn’t HaVe LeGal AuThOriTy To ReLeAsE EpStEiN FiLeS!”

    22. Trump says he has brought in 23 trillion this year and can’t allot 8.3b to keep his country fed?

    23. Literally days ago Mike Johnson explicitly said they were choosing to deny SNAP benefits emergency funding because they wanted to put pressure on Dems. THIS WAS ENTIRELY YOUR OWN CHOICE DRUMPLEFORESKIN!

    24. How low can you go.
      Literally holding SNAP contingency funds hostage so they can fuck over people on their healthcare.

      “I have ordered our lawyers to look into why WE decide not to give you SNAP benefits”
      “But it’s the democrats’ fault!”.

    25. Who was it that fronted the 140m for the military again? Who is that’s keeping the government shutdown going?

      Unbelievable

    26. Take the offramp. You can keep your “cred” and claim you were forced. While I hate anything that makes you look even nominally good I don’t want children, even of your supporters, to go hungry.

      He will bend and break the law for even the most trivial things, yet, somehow, we’re expected to believe he wants to do the honorable thing, by asking the courts for permission.

    28. sleepwalkingninja on

      Creates problem. Is forced to fix problem. Demands you give him credit.

      This has been a running theme for his administrations.

      Let’s be clear here: Trump is the radical who is trying to destroy the social safety net. He only cares for his billionaire pals and lowering their taxes.

    31. So he fought to keep SNAP unfunded, but when he lost in court to Democrats, he takes credit for losing? This guy!!!!

    32. SeanOfTheDead1313 on

      You’re dictator bro with immunity from SCOTUS. You can blow up boats of “suspected” drug dealers, SEND 40 BILLION TO ARGENTINA, put troops on US streets and demolish parts of the White House with ease.Yet, NOW you aren’t allowed and must follow the law?

      😂😂😂😂 🤡🤡🤡

    33. His hands are tied, folks, he wants to help but he’s but a humble servant of the courts. /s
