For even when we were with you, this we commanded you: that if any would not work, neither should he eat. (2 Thes 3:10)
More than 3.5 million people have dropped off food stamps since President Donald Trump’s first full month in office, according to the latest data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The most recent USDA data reveals that 38,577,141 Americans received benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)—otherwise known as the federal government program responsible for giving out food stamps—in September 2018.
When Trump took office in February 2017, 42,134,301 Americans had been receiving SNAP benefits, according to the data.
The most up-to-date numbers also show enrollment in food stamps has declined for 11 straight months.
Using the latest data from the USDA, here is the month-by-month breakdown of how many people canceled their SNAP benefits in fiscal year (FY) 2018:
October to November: 4,050,688
November to December: 357,508
December to January: 740,952
January to February: 385,456
February to March: 39,701
March to April: 426,055
April to May: 139,570
May to June: 175,204
June to July: 352,584
July to August: 86,238
August to September: 297,116
The consistent decline in enrollment over the past 11 months is on pace with the steady decline in SNAP participation since 2013, and the decline seems to be continuing during President Trump’s tenure in office….
The enrollment drop can mainly be attributed to the Trump USDA’s efforts to reform SNAP and other welfare programs, as well as an improving economy, but there are also other less concrete reasons why food stamp participation is on the downswing.
A recent study showed that food stamp usage among people who recently immigrated to the United States in the past five years dropped by 10 percent.
The November study from Children’s HealthWatch noted that the drop in enrollment among recent legal immigrants occurred mainly because of a yet-to-be implemented Trump administration policy which would keep recent immigrants from gaining permanent residency in the U.S. if they used food stamps or other forms of welfare.

Praise God for His mighty move n for hearkening to the voice of his people!
I am thankful and relieved to see this occurance. I have continued to pray for Trump(and voted for him), and it is just plain good to watch God at work doing this. I have known for decades that for us to see these results that God would have to do it. Praise Him! God bless Trump for doing God’s will, cause he has had to go against “the grain”. This is a good reminder that God always keeps His promises.
I thank God for His perfect balance in everything. “Work not eat not”. Work is a blessing from the Lord !Thank you Lord for destroying the things that destroy your creation.
SNAP was designed to be temporary not permanent. It is supposed to assist citizens who need it. My prayer is that legal immigrants find gainful employment, are no longer taught to abuse the system of their host country once they are here (this was rampant during my tenure in the public school system) and that we have a system that is reformed and fair. Thank God for president Trump high lighting an area that desperately needs to be changed.
DEAR LORD, THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING AN ECONOMY SO THAT PEOPLE CAN WORK. PLEASE PROSPER OUR NATION AS WE REPENT OF THOSE ACTIONS THAT HAVE HURT OUR ECONOMY AND THAT YOU WOULD ESPECIALLY PROSPER THE BUSINESSES AND JOBS OF YOUR PEOPLE. I PARY IN JESUS’ NAME. AMEN.
Thank you Gesus for showing the good in our President surronding him with angels and make him prosper also his family. Give the straight to fight for us and keep him strong in Gesus name. We pray.
