Are poor people suffering even more now that Trump has been in office?

From what I've seen even wic sux worse, and people on medicaid are getting denied more and more medicines, food stamps have plummeted and homelessness has risen.

I think you're watching too much CNN... 🤔

I live in a community that is 70-80% veterans (myself included) and things have improved drastically...

@wildbill83 I don't watch CNN.

No there’s more jobs than the past government which means more people are working.

Yes, while the rich have gained tax breaks. And when the full effects of the new tariffs hit and the price of consumer goods increases, unsurprisingly that will hit the the poorer community the hardest as well.

Nafta is a disaster; sure, it was a good idea, contingent on the idea that Canada and Mexico uphold quality standards and remain competitive with US markets... they didn't, especially Mexico... aka, helped them, hurt us.

@wildbill83 Obama actually cared about the poorer community - some of us believe that's important. He is a decent human being.

I can't say the same about Trump - seeking to bias an election in his favour by paying hush money to cover up his misdemeanours and harming the poorer communities.

@fazer1k oh yeah, he cared alright... forced everyone to buy expensive insurance with a $2000+ deductible that no one could afford, then penalize anyone without insurance on taxes...

Probably? But am open minded. Like if Trump wasn't like say in charge, and the same things happened, would it be people's fault for "Not trying hard enough" or the guy in charge's, still?

@Rob04 and you are 13-15? Are you actually out, living and trying on your own? You can't. Not without roomates.
