The Guardian: Trump builds his palace as Americans face going hungry
This government shutdown is one of the longest in history.
Millions of hard-working Americans have been going without pay. And now, SNAP benefits have been gutted, leaving families wondering how they’ll pay for their next meal.
But does Donald Trump care about Americans’ struggles? NO.
While Americans are struggling to pay for food and healthcare, he’s ripping up the White House for his ridiculous ballroom, and throwing lavish parties — at our expense!
We’re racing to collect 1,000 signatures from your state to show Trump that, all across the United States, we are FED UP with him wasting money on his vanity projects while the American people go without. Will you sign before 11:59 tonight?
The impacts of this government shutdown on Americans have been devastating.
But Trump is more focused on stroking his ego than reopening our government.
It’s offensive, out of touch, and a waste of taxpayers’ money — and at a time when hardworking Americans are having to stretch every dollar.
We have to fight back now and overwhelm Trump with public outrage. Will you join us in demanding that Trump be held accountable for abusing his power and wasting Americans’ money with his pointless ballroom?
