SNAP benefits will halt for millions of American families on November 1st, but the $300 million (and counting) ballroom will continue to move forward.
Make it make sense.
P.S. Millions of Trump voters rely on SNAP.
They are grasping at straws.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
