A member of President Donald Trump’s first administration has claimed that the commander-in-chief “doesn’t give a s***” about funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program running out at midnight on Friday as a result of the ongoing government shutdown.
SNAP benefits, otherwise known as food stamps, are given to around 41.1 million Americans monthly, according to the Department of Agriculture, but, as it stands, will not be available in November as Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says she does not have the $8 billion needed to pay for it and is legally barred from dipping into a contingency fund.
