Trump Admin will be setting fire to enough food to feed 1.5 million children for a week

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

If one child gotten sick from the food, then leftists will accuse Trump of poisoning the food.

If Trump gives more food to Aborigines, then leftists will say he is a racist and hates Africans.

You are confused. That's the MAGA way, drudge.

It was due to expire because sending it was put on hold by Trump.

Do you have a link to that???

In the OP's links........this is from USA Today, that is in post #9

Foreign aid food will be destroyed after Trump's USAID cuts. Here's why

The Trump administration dismantled USAID, causing distribution disruptions. Now some has expired, and it is set to be destroyed due to protocol.

The State Department, which now oversees whats left of USAID, said the cuts aren't what caused the food to expire.

Democrats also oppose it, since under their Administrations in the past, we didn't feed the poor of this country to any meaningful extent as far as I am aware.

So, cancel TANF, SNAP, and WIC since it would save money and there would be no meaningful loss to the poor?

Democrats and "not Democrats" should make that their new slogan!

 

[odanny]

If the expired food was sent and people of color got sick you would be the first one to say he shouldn't have sent it.

Those starving kids would have been more than happy to take their chances with "expired" biscuits.

 

[drudge X]

The food is expired and can't be sent anywhere.

If Trump can find a way to capture every rain drop and filtered for consumption, leftists would impeach him for not bottling the water.

They would but Democrats see impeachment.

Of course, good food, not expired food. Our people, not foreign people.

We have plenty of people here living in poverty and hunger. This whole row shows who you care about most.

Illegals and foreigners. Americans really don't enter your mind.

The food was good, and it was allowed to sit because Trump stopped it from being shipped. You need to drop the silliness, young punk. You say we have people living here in poverty and hunger. Republicans don't want to feed them. They are Americans, and you don't want to feed them either. So take your little fake indignation to the other children.

Democrats have nothing to do with this decision.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Scripture is clear. Your thinking is not.

“There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore, I command you to be open-handed toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land.”

Deuteronomy 15:11

“Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”

Galatians 6:10

Do you have proof of that, old man?

 

[TemplarKormac]

You say we have people living here in poverty and hunger. Republicans don't want to feed them.

Again, what proof do you have of that?

I would not believe the Trump State Department. That food had been waiting for delivery ever since Musk shut down USAID. Whether or not you believe this is irrelevant.

If you doubt me, look it up yourself.

There are no starving kids. The article says there's enough to feed 1.5 starving children without identifying any children at all starving or not.

 

[IM2]

Again, what proof do you have of that?

Republicans don't want to feed the hungry. I'm not going to post a link for every sentence I say because you don't like it. I said what I said and its true. Republicans cut SNAP, thats food for the poor you stupid idiot.

That's not true. According to the article, the food was purchased as a contingency.

A spokesperson for the State Department, which is now responsible for U.S. foreign aid, confirmed in an email to Reuters that the biscuits would have to be destroyed. But they said the stocks were "purchased as a contingency beyond projections" under the administration of former President Joe Biden, resulting in their expiration.

Trump had nothing to do with it.

Pick a subject. Any subject. Democrats will lie about it.

Of course, I doubt you. It's your job to prove your claims, old man.

If you are going to make an assertion, here of all places, it is an unwritten rule that you are required to link to a source that corroborates it. Otherwise, it is an unsubstantiated opinion and nothing more.

Oh, how I so despise cowardice.

What I believe???

Yes it's a waste just because it's 'expired' (for whatever reason). Most foods are still perfectly good well beyond their dates, but food banks and probably any food aid distribution centers around the world will not give it out and would be tossed anyway.

 

[Delldude]

Nearly 500 metric tones worth nearly a billion dollars. Enough to feed 1.5 million children for a week, I'm told, being destroyed because the trump administration didn't like a few USAID programs.

This is what trump has brought us to. we're throwing food away rather than feeding starving children.

But the trump supporters will not care. They will in fact deflect or defend this, if they don't outright cheer it because those kids are most likely brown and not white.

So where is all the media footage of these poor dying children?

Think that would be a news bingo...............can't find any media links supporting children dying like flies.
