No, it's more of an indication that the Republican Congress reduced funds and Republican Governors began to create requirements to receive food stamps such as in Maine and Georgia.

Aww, how adorable.
Your first link is about H.R. 3102, a bill that never became law. Apparently, you're under the delusion that bills that go nowhere affect the economy.
Your second link is about the GOP floating the idea of making cuts to food stamps. Says nothing about them actually voting on it or it ever becoming law. Also, that was in 2016, years into the falling trend.
Your third link did become law and took some changes from H.R. 3102 but those changes were limited only to lowering the amount paid to some 850,000 households. It didn't alter the requirements of eligibility and didn't lower the number of folks receiving SNAP benefits.
Your 4th link is about the drop in 2017 -- 4 years into the decline.
Your 5th link was about one state and that one state had a split control between Democrats and Republicans. And the time frame of the changes was in 2015-2016 -- years into the decline.
Your 6th link was also limited to one state and changes from 2016 -- years into the decline.
See that? I had good reason not to believe you.
