President Donald Trump claimed Tuesday that SNAP benefits will “be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government,” despite a judge’s recent ruling ordering otherwise.
Trump made the announcement via Truth Social Tuesday morning, just days after a judge ordered the Trump administration to pay out SNAP benefits as soon as possible. However, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt clarified the president’s post hours later, telling reporters the Trump administration is still obeying the court order.
