President Donald Trump Issues Mass
A liberal-appointed judge just praised Donald Trump — and
slammed the shutdown chaos in the same breath.
Food aid for 42 million Americans was on the line.
Democrats thought panic would explode.
In a stunning twist, Judge John McConnell, an Obama appointee,
openly credited Trump for moving fast to
keep SNAP money flowing, even as he blasted the shutdown’s impact.
His order forced the USDA to guarantee November benefits, pushing the
administration to act while Democrats in
Congress kept blocking a temporary funding bill.
At the same time, another Obama-appointed
judge in Boston ruled that cutting off SNAP was “unlawful,”
further undercutting efforts to turn the crisis into a political weapon.
Outside the courtroom, the strategy was already unraveling.
Pollster Matt Towery argued that Democrats
badly misread the public mood: instead of outrage at Trump,
voters are learning how many recipients aren’t citizens and
are questioning the system itself.
He sees a slow, quiet realignment,
especially among young workers, who are starting to view endless
government benefits less as a lifeline and
more as a burden they’re being asked to carry.
