Trump Tries Starving SNAP, Judge Orders Feeding Frenzy
KEY POINTS
- •President Trump's request to block full SNAP benefits was denied by an appeals court on Friday.
- •As a result, the USDA must issue complete SNAP benefits by the end of the day.
- •This decision follows a judge's criticism of the administration for delaying the release of funds.
In a binge-worthy legal drama, Trump requested the courts block a ruling forcing his USDA to pay full SNAP benefits by Nov 7 — and got slammed with a big fat denial Friday. Judge John McConnell Jr., apparently the opposite of a patience guru, ordered full payments ASAP. Meanwhile, USDA’s half-baked plan to partially fund November SNAP was about as reliable as a dial-up modem, promising recipients roughly 65% of benefits but admitting earlier estimates were 'filled with errors.' USDA even warned food stamp rollouts could stretch from 'a few weeks to several months,' fueling snackers' anxiety nationwide.

Only Trump could turn SNAP benefits into a suspense thriller where hungry Americans wait on USDA’s maybe-sometime food lottery. ‘Partial’ means snacks sold separately, but judge threw a full meal at this nonsense.
The USDA’s November SNAP rollout is like a Netflix release date: ‘a few weeks to several months’ but mostly just speculation and disappointment.
Trump trying to block SNAP benefits is like trying to stop gravity with a stack of old tweets—both pointless and messy to watch.
