It's not new. It's a redux of the food lines, like those in Texas (below), caused by Trump's mismanagement of the pandemic.
Bottom line: Republicans enjoy watching people suffer.

Johnson: "Pres Trump has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that if there is any way to fund these programs that are drying up, he will do it."
... except, of course, anything that will interrupt his weekend golf outings in Florida, where he'll be all weekend.
No one believes Johnson or Trump.

As the gov't shutdown continues...
As millions of Americans worry about skyrocketing health ins costs...
As family fret about losing SNAP benefits to feed their kids...
As job creation plummets...
Donald Trump will be golfing at his Florida club this weekend, with nothing on his official schedule.

Remember how incensed conservatives were when a Black musician played a glass flute tied to an 19th Century American politician, saying she destroyed its heritage because *she* dared to touch it?

Trump's last trade war devastated American soybean farmers, who only recovered under Biden's leadership.
Trump, however, did make sure Big Agri got tens of billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded subsidies to cover lost profits. Small farmers didn't get any similar support.

The latest jobs report is a catastrophe:
--Top line number less than half predicted;
--80% of job creation reported in May & June wiped out in July's revisions;
--DOGE/Trump/Pres. Musk is still not reporting the hundreds of thousands of federal government employees fired, so the numbers will sink.

The revisions of the last two reports were brutal: a loss of 158,000 jobs from the May and June, netting just 33,000 jobs in those months.
It's like the Trump administration fudged the numbers to get good initial reporting and then hid the disaster in the revisions... like lying was the plan.

According to Trump's own website, this is the view on the 18th fairway at Turnberry, which the course describes as "unforgettable journey through Scotland’s most picturesque landscape."

FBI ordered to tail Comey for a tweet by Trump.
Also note, FBI ordered by Trump to stop investigations and release the men who beat police officers.

We know Trump frivolously sues everyone.
But strangely, Trump hasn't threatened a single defamation lawsuit against Musk or anyone else who links him to Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking.
Strange, isn't it? He doesn't sue when called a pedophile, but he'll sue for a bad Mar-a-Lago review.
