People like me and 42M that receive SNAP Benefits every month don't even have cake to eat without the help and assistance of the USDA. We can if we're lucky ask others or food pantries (that are stretched to the MAX).
Like Senator Elizabeth Warren said this week, "Donald Trump told us to EAT DIRT!"

France starved, Louis and Marie build magnificent buildings, threw fancy parties, and glutted on exotic foods. Too bad Trump slept through history classes. It didn’t turn out well for them, and I hope Trump eventually sees accountability.

Not all that long ago, young girls were coerced into marrying them. It’s just another way 🍊 wants to take us backwards.
Perhaps the reason Trump wants to be able to get away with pardoning a woman who stole his spa girls and forced one into sex slavery is bc he wants a world where powerful men can force girls into sex slavery.
