Glad I don't live in a country where army is much more important than over 321 million humans health and benefits. 

[PartySick 172,384]

F*cking ridiculous.

Lemme just hit Trump up and ask him how to not pay taxes. I don't want my money going towards this sh*t

[venusfly 17,885]

This is good. It's short term, will screw people over, and will lose him his second election. Go Trump, keep doing what you're doing

You just live in a world, whereas unfortunately, said country is undoubtedly one of the most powerful country in the world, with an obnoxious leader (would not be the first). This ****s us all.

We just have a bad president, his actions don't represent most of America. I love living in America!

That's what you get, Trump supporters. That's what we all get. I'm not even American but I know that this will affect the rest of the world in some way

One of my best friends is on food stamps. He's taking food away from her or people like her. The president can go **** himself.

My grandma and grandpa aren't working anymore and they had to go on food stamps and I'm scared their check will be cut by a significant amount

I feel for you, I hope they end up okay. 

[shoful 13,304]

I support most of these decisions. I dont think education should be cut but you win some you lose some

its already been cut, Obama raised them and didnt cut medicaid. Now on medicaid you have to pay for almost everything (hospital stay, ambulance) even if you earn 100$ a month . And the MAX food stamps per person is 198\month. They cut them the more you make.They make you go to work camp if you receive state assistance. Which some people should but not all ppl can. I get medicaid. The rich just get richer. smh People with mental/physical conditions need help. and this is stupid.
