Can someone please give a rationale for this?

I volunteer at the local Food Bank, and they are afraid they will have very little food to give to the needy because of Trump's actions. The last delivery that we distributed had only half of what we usually get.

"NOVOTNY: Our food banks receive a few different sources of emergency food assistance. We have entitlement foods that are appropriated through traditional farm bill procedures and appropriations, and those are the foods that we can most reliably count on to consistently come into our docks. And then we often receive product through bonus or Section 32 purchases, which are designed to help the USDA support markets that are maybe in surplus or have a little bit of difficulty selling or buying. And then we have an opportunity to, thankfully, bring in additional product through the Commodity Credit Corporation. And those are the orders that we had, that we were expecting to see coming in, that we've received some changes in order status on. So we don't know if those TEFAP orders - the Emergency Food Assistance Program, or TEFAP, orders - have been permanently canceled or if they are merely halted. What we do know is without that food in the near term, we are going to struggle to meet our current demand."

Did you express the same outrage when Biden left behind approximately 85 billion dollars of military equipment in Afghanistan and in the Taliban’s hands? What sense did this make?
A shift in the winds...smell that? It's male bovine manure. Lemme guess...Trump cut off a leftist money grift, so libbies start screaming "he took food out of the mouths of poor people" 😱

There's not a lot of thought in anything he does really...
@Convivial But there’s just always enough thought to include cruelty.

There isn't any actual rationale behind spite...it's simply spite.
