Maine’s Billion-Dollar Diet: Trump’s Food Program Slim-Down!

Maine, a longtime New England gladiator in the food insecurity arena, just got hit with a Trump-tastic plot twist in March 2020. The Trump administration, in their classic "budget ninja" move, sliced over $1 billion from two precious U.S. food programs. Imagine Maine’s food pantries suddenly turning into those sad vending machines that ate your dollar without giving snacks. This bizarre act of fiscal carving left Maine’s nourishment struggle asking, 'Am I a buffet or a mirage?' Spoiler alert: This isn't a feast; it’s a savage budget burger, extra dry. Food insecurity in Maine just got a major remix, thanks to a billion-dollar diet version straight out of Trump’s financial cookbook!
