    Oh FFS, as usual the people who have been broken by Trump don't see the obvious difference: Trump buys junk food w/ his own money but SNAP recipients are using public funds.

    If you're using your own money, you can buy whatever you want. If someone else is footing the bill, you need to take what you can get.

    The junk food Trump is buying now while in the White House is on tax-payer money, not his own money. Those mass orders of McDonald's displayed in the Oval Office and on Air Force One are your tax dollars.

    Yet somehow it is not OK to use public funds to purchase the same type of food for SNAP recipients.

    Are you really trying to compare a few 100 burgers to 41.9 million people (nearly 13% of the population) receiving SNAP? You're funny!

    In addition, $400k/yr can buy a lot of burgers; compare to Michelle Obama.

    You've got to be kidding, right? C'mon now! This is the very best you can come up with?

    You made a claim that Trump buys junk food with his own money. This is not true. It is taxpayer money.

    Just wait till you find out how much taxpayer money has been used to have Trump play golf. The amount is in the millions of taxpayer dollars.

    First of all you didn't show any type of ledger/balance sheet wrt to White House spending. It's your conjecture.

    Second of all, you're stretching proportions to the point of incredulity. SNAP spending in the US is roughly $100 billion per year. Let us know when the amount spent by the WH on McDonalds approaches even 1/100th of a % of this.

    What you did provide is a typical ad hominem attack: I hate Trump so the policy must be bad too.

    Tell you what, you want to compromise? How about we place no restriction on what SNAP can be used for (e.g. alcohol, tobacco, weed dispensaries, even crack and heroin) but if you receive SNAP you can't receive Medicaid.

    Do whatever you think is best just don't complain if you end up dying in the street. Sound good?

    Wake up, you're not thinking coherently. You're not a serious person. Go play the clown w/ nwm.
