President Donald Trump on Nov. 4 said that benefits will not go to federal food stamp recipients until the government is reopened, as a coalition of plaintiffs urged a judge to take action.

Benefits for participants in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) “will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
