Give people their food stamps and in full! Not a single person in the richest country ever should go without food.

This admin has warned American stores that it's illegal to offer SNAP "victims" any form of discount on their purchases as the result of being denied funds by Trump.

Has the American government EVER forbidden a charitable act towards tens of millions of its own citizens before that is an instruction DIRECTLY FROM JESUS?!

"USDA Tells Grocery Stores They Can’t Give Discounts to People Hit by Trump’s Food Stamp Freeze

“Can’t follow the law when a judge says fund the program, but have to follow the rules exactly when they say don’t help poor people afford food,” one lawyer said."

I love that the world leaders are slamming trump. I love that Newsom will be at the UN Climate Summit. Hey, we all know that trump would fall asleep there.

I'm sure tRump just standing there with a blank face may have been in small part due to his Malignant Narcissism but, I look at his blank stare and blank posture and all I can see is his advancing dementia. When the meeting didn't go as scripted, he had no mechanism for processing the change. He is pretty far gone down the road to the Memory Care Unit.

Advancing dementia colliding with total moral rot. Ugly, isn’t it.

I agree. Although he may have been briefly aware that something unexpected was happening, he quickly forgot. And even if he remained aware he wouldn’t have known what to do. Staying out of the way was the best thing for everyone else.

Gov. Newsom is exactly the right governor for the State of California at this time. This state has successfully worked hard through the years to clean up the air and water! Gov. Newsom is continuing this legacy. His going to the UN Climate Summit is absolutely appropriate and is a great way to give the finger to Trump and his troop of climate deniers.

Trump absolutely should be slammed for his stubborn denial on climate change. But he should also be arrested the next time he leaves the country for blowing up random people in the Caribbean. If no one in this country will touch him, maybe someone with some ethics will.

A very good point about his lawlessness on an international scale! I wish other countries would refuse his access to their countries until he is tried for these crimes.

Excellent move for Gov. Newsom to attend the COP30!

It is pointless for a global warming denier who is detested by the other attendees to go anyway.

Sandy S's avatar

They actually should deny DJT from attending!! As far as Newsom attending, one could make a point for it to be a crime for any governor of California not to attend, considering the state's on going horrific fires and flooding. I wonder if he will present details of the devastation to his state in recent years?

I'm pretty sure a GOP governor from CA may pass on a global warming summit

Probably right on that. But, after seeing the vote on Prop 50, I am doubtful there will be a Rep. Gov anytime soon.

What a great way to start the day, Scott! Thank you! I am thrilled that world leaders on Climate Change are calling out trump for his ignorance in denying the effects of climate change and the need to do what we can to lessen the impact the we as the world’s inhabitants have on this threat! I hope that they keep it up. I am glad that Governor Newsom is attending the conference since trump refused to attend.

I am not surprised at Trump’s lack of interest in that gentleman who fainted in the Oval Office. He does not care about anyone but himself and he made that very clear by his obvious disinterest.

1. The world leaders are justified and accurate in their comments about trumps’ denial of global warming and rejection of the summit. Glad Newsom went to Brazil to show the world what a U.S. leader looks like.

2. trump looked like a gutted out statue standing there staring into the press “void” while a man was on the floor with a medical issue. Void of all compassion and concern. 🤬

I think world leaders should be doing this on a daily basis. He needs to hear how despised he is across the world and how many of them think his way of doing things is totally inappropriate for a president. I’m also thrilled that Newsom is going to the conference. That’ll drive tRump crazy!

Oh, Scott, you ruined pumpkin pie for me ☺️. It USED to be my favorite…😆

Too bad he wasn’t there so they could tell him to his face. I am sure Gavin Newsom did a lot of nodding in agreement.

The blank stare says it all… The lights are on, but nobody’s home.😞

Awesome report!

I’m glad to see world leaders calling Mango Mussolini out.. they now know he will TACO on anything

As for his response to the fella who passed out.. anyone surprised? Some troll was on a HCR post whining about how no one showed when he turned to the fella OK, he looked at the guy for a few seconds? That is supposed to say something about his character?? BFD, it shows he lacks any compassion at all.

Absolutely... the video shows so clearly how drumpf has no compassion or sense of humanity. The incident and photograph highlights his attitude towards so much... doesn't give a shred about families, kids, elders, the environment... that's why he pushes ICE and bombing small boats*. Zero empathy and zero capacity to bring people together.

* that this creature continues to think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize is another of the absurdities that will go down in the history books about the malignant narcissist who became president.

Yes, by looking in the direction of the guy passing out, it shows he was aware of what was happening, & then turning back looking straight ahead befuddled, it means his only thought, if he had any, was that it was disturbing his press conference.
