On Thursday, Trump used one of his most famous communication tools — Twitter — to support work requirements for food stamps.
A provision to include those requirements for single food stamp recipients was part of a farm bill which recently passed in the House, but barely.
The measure squeaked by with a vote of 213-211. Every single Democrat voted against it.
Now, the House and Senate versions of the farm bill must be reconciled in conference, and there’s a very good chance that the work requirements for welfare will be removed from the final, joint version as a compromise.
Trump isn’t happy about that prospect.
When the House and Senate meet on the very important Farm Bill – we love our farmers – hopefully they will be able to leave the WORK REQUIREMENTS FOR FOOD STAMPS PROVISION that the House approved. Senate should go to 51 votes!
