President Trump just responded to the SNAP judgments made by the court today ordering them to use emergency monies to fund the benefit program.

Essentially, Trump explains the opinion from his lawyers but relents, saying he will ask the courts for guidance on how they can use these monies legally.

Ultimately, he says if the courts provide this guidance swiftly, it will be his honor to keep funding SNAP while ‘Cryin’ Chuck Schumer’ and the Democrats keep the government shutdown.

He also tells people who are on SNAP to call Schumer’s office number:

Our Government lawyers do not think we have the legal authority to pay SNAP with certain monies we have available, and now two Courts have issued conflicting opinions on what we can and cannot do. I do NOT want Americans to go hungry just because the Radical Democrats refuse to do the right thing and REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT. Therefore, I have instructed our lawyers to ask the Court to clarify how we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible.

It is already delayed enough due to the Democrats keeping the Government closed through the monthly payment date and, even if we get immediate guidance, it will unfortunately be delayed while States get the money out. If we are given the appropriate legal direction by the Court, it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding, just like I did with Military and Law Enforcement Pay. The Democrats should quit this charade where they hurt people for their own political reasons, and immediately REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT.

If you use SNAP benefits, call the Senate Democrats, and tell them to reopen the Government, NOW! Here is Cryin’ Chuck Schumer’s Office Number: (202) 224-6542

Great post from Trump. He is the most transparent president ever and what he says makes perfect sense.
