Americans’ dependence on government programs has diminished during the presidency of Donald Trump, most visibly in the shrinking of food stamp enrollment.

In the first 27 months under Trump, food-stamp enrollment dropped by more than 6.7 million, compared with the less than 3.6 million drop under the last 27 months of the Obama presidency.
