Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday slammed President Donald Trump for threatening to withhold meals advantages from hundreds of thousands of the poorest Individuals regardless of a court docket determination ordering him to pay them.
“The president says one factor, the White Home says one other,” Kimmel mentioned. “It’s just like the one hand doesn’t know what the opposite tiny, bruised, makeup-covered, greasy, genitalia-grabbing, Sharpie-stained, child hand is doing.”
Trump, who over the weekend held a lavish “Nice Gatsby”-themed occasion at his Mar-a-Lago resort, has mentioned he doesn’t need to pay out Supplemental Diet Help Program advantages ― generally often called meals stamps ― till the federal government shutdown ends.
“Simply take into consideration how merciless an individual needs to be to chop off meals to 42 million individuals,” Kimmel mentioned. “It’s the type of factor that makes you go, ‘Oh, no surprise his children are like that.’”
Following the court docket order, the Division of Agriculture mentioned SNAP recipients will obtain half of their typical advantages for November.
