Chelsea Clinton blasts Trump’s food stamp move: ‘Merry Christmas’ from Trump to struggling Americans

Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton is calling out President Trump for seeking further restrictions on access to food stamps.

“Merry Christmas from President Trump – taking away nutritional support for ~755,000 struggling Americans,” she said in a Friday tweet.

Her comment comes amid the administration’s efforts to place restrictions on the aid outlined in the farm bill, which was recently passed by Congress and signed by Trump.

The New York Times reports that “the Trump administration announced on Thursday that it would seek to put in place more stringent work requirements for adults who rely on food stamps.”
