Rep. Jimmy Gomez Says We Need to Stop Feeding Trump to See How He Likes It

As Twitichy reported on Tuesday, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced not only that illegal aliens no longer qualified for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), but that the federal government would be withholding SNAP money from states that had not provided data on criminal use of SNAP benefits.

Rollins said that her department asked for the data back in February, and 21 states refused to provide it. Coincidentally, these were all blue states; 29 red states had complied and handed over the data. So, of course, ABC7 Eyewitness News and others are creating the narrative that the Trump administration is withholding SNAP administrative funding from Democratic-led states.

NBC News made it sound like Trump was withholding funding just because these were blue states, not because they hadn't complied with the request for fraud data.

Twenty-nine states managed to comply, so it was not an outrageous request.

Rep. Jimmy Gomez saw that post and suggested that we stop feeding President Trump to see how he likes it.

We need to suddenly stop feeding Trump and see how he likes it.

It might be the only way for him to understand how starving kids feel when he does it to them. https://t.co/NUDAfm64M0

Yeah I’m perfectly fine with taking Trump’s SNAP benefits away. Lol you clown.

Also, there are zero “starving kids” in the U.S. and I’m sick to death of the left using this as an emotional manipulation cudgel so they can feed and house illegals en masse with my taxes https://t.co/E7Qq1Wn2R8

Or… comply with the law and submit recipient data to USAD.

Why are these states so opposed to sharing data for their legal benefit recipients? They keep saying that illegals aren’t receiving benefits. Just show the proof.

Well, if you just give them the data and everything was on the up and up, you wouldn't be afraid of exposing fraud. That would be playing nice. And the children would be fed.

Hear us out, just turn over the information.

Seriously, how hard is it to provide the requested data?

Oh no. People will have to prove they’re eligible before they get into the program? The horror.
— Bleu Cheque (@VERBAL_CHANCLA) December 3, 2025

Easy solution. Turn over the information requested.

Why can’t they provide recipient data? What are they trying to hide?
— Cali Sports Mom (@casuburbanmam) December 3, 2025

These 21 states have had nearly a full year to provide the data to the administration, and yet they haven't.

Great suggestion, though, that "we" stop feeding Trump. We're pretty sure he could afford to order in from McDonald's.
