No, but I didn't expect them to see cheering people being cut off from SNAP benefits.

Hard to believe some people in this forum are supporting the loss of SNAP benefits to millions of Americans.

Yes, for gays and lesbians too. From my post on prior page: Specific actions taken by the Trump administration included: Removing explicit nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people in healthcare under the Affordable Care Act Removed LGBTQ-related information from government websites Attempted to block the collection of data on sexual orientation and gender identity Trump appointed judges with records perceived as anti-LGBTQ [...] In addition Trump did not formally honor Pride Month in 2025 and did not allow US embassies to display a Pride flag in June as had been done under Biden. There are probably a few more I could add to this list if I had the time to look it up.

Rolling back Obama-era nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ individuals during his first term as POTUS speaks otherwise.

Actually people are saying he is not an advocate for the LGBTQ community, as he has proven many times.

https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1984318238130409574 Reuters: US JUDGE RULES TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S PLAN TO SUSPEND SNAP FOOD AID BENEFITS DURING SHUTDOWN IS LIKELY UNLAWFUL https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/31/snap-trump-judge-food-stamps-shutdown.html SNAP benefits must continue despite shutdown, judge tells Trump administration A federal judge in Rhode Island on Friday blocked the Trump administration from ceasing to pay SNAP benefits during the government shutdown. The oral ruling by Judge Jack McConnell came a day before the administration was set to cut off those food stamp benefits from 42 million Americans. A Justice Department lawyer argued during a hearing that the SNAP program did not exist anymore because there were no congressionally appropriated funds for it as a result of the shutdown. The lawyer, Tyler Becker, also argued it was the administration’s discretion whether to use $6 billion in contingency funds already set aside by Congress to continue issuing SNAP benefits.

But aren't Republicans forcing through ending the ACA subsidies?

Using AI overview is similar to Wiki. It is just a convenient and quick way to summarize what an actual situation is and is not presented as the last word on any subject. People who dispute it (like Hell Toupee here) are free to find a link to the contrary - although he obviously can't in this instance or he would have done so rather than deflect with some insults.

Then why would they say they will discuss it later when it seems obvious they have no intent to do so? 24 million Americans have ACA subsidies and if those are allowed to expire, that could cause premiums to more than double for many enrollees making carry health insurance cost prohibitive.

Exactly, It isn't 100% on Democrats despite claims to the contrary by Republicans. The GOP keeps saying "Vote for the CR and we will discuss the ACA subsidies later" but of course they have no intention of discussing this later.

As I suspected you lied and got absolutely nothing that shows anything Trump has ever done to protect the LGBTQ community. If anyone would like some specifics: AI Overview During his presidency, Donald Trump's administration implemented a broad range of policies that rolled back Obama-era nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ individuals across various sectors, including healthcare, education, housing, and the military The administration's overall record is widely viewed by civil rights organizations as being hostile to the LGBTQ community. Specific actions taken by the Trump administration included reinstating a ban on most transgender individuals serving in the military, removing explicit nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people in healthcare under the Affordable Care Act, and rescinding guidance protecting transgender students in schools. The administration also proposed rules allowing discrimination against transgender people in homeless shelters, removed LGBTQ-related information from government websites, and attempted to block the collection of data on sexual orientation and gender identity. Additionally, Trump appointed judges with records perceived as anti-LGBTQ.

Trump won't negotiate, Mike Johnson sent Congress home for a vacation, but it is a 100% Democratic shutdown? LOL

Link to anything he has ever done to protect the LGBTQ community.

It also includes prohibiting any type of counseling for transgenders and cancelling funs for LGBTQ scientific related research. From the OP: "A federal suicide prevention lifeline specifically for transgender youth was cancelled, as were hundreds of millions of dollars in scientific research funding related to LGBTQ people."

Which means, of course, that there will be no negotiations, because the Democrats will have lost whatever leverage they had.

Liar. Which is why you provided no link.

He didn't qualify to be admitted in the first place.

Appalling but not entirely unexpected. I have said for years (as proven by his first term as POTUS) that Trump is no friend of the LGBTQ community.

Predictable and uninformed. White individuals make up the largest group of SNAP recipients and one cannot purchase liquor with a Snap card.

Concentration camps and involuntary treatment for homeless people and addicts. What could possibly go wrong? https://www.commondreams.org/news/utah-homeless-internment-camp Advocates Warn of ‘Forced Labor’ Camp for Homeless People in Utah Designed to Enforce Trump Order In an effort to fulfill President Donald Trump’s executive order on homelessness, Utah is building a massive facility that housing advocates warn will function as an “internment camp” where the unhoused will be subject to forced labor. Last month, Utah’s homeless services agencies came to an agreement for the state to acquire a nearly 16-acre parcel of rural land in the Northpoint area of northwest Salt Lake City to construct the first-of-its-kind facility, which is slated to have 1,300 beds. The genesis of the project began in July, following Trump’s “Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets” executive order, which threatened to withhold funding from states and cities unless they criminalized homeless people camping on streets and ordered the attorney general to expand the use of involuntary civil commitment for adults experiencing homelessness. Despite a large body of evidence showing their effectiveness at curbing crime while keeping people off the street, the order also required the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to end its support of “Housing First” policies that provide unhoused people with homes without the requirement of behavioral health treatment or sobriety. Less than a week after Trump’s homelessness order, Utah’s Republican Gov. Spencer Cox, as well as the state Senate president and House speaker—both Republicans—sent a letter to the state’s Homeless Services Board, which was created last year following a legislative push by the Cicero Insitute—a far-right think tank that has proposed aggressive measures to criminalize homelessness and which has had major influence over Trump’s crackdown on the homeless during his second term. In the letter, the leaders agreed with the Trump administration that they “do not support ‘Housing First’ policies that lack accountability.” They directed the Board to “accelerate progress on a transformative, services-based homeless campus that prioritizes recovery, treatment, and long-term outcomes, not just emergency shelter.” As far back as 2023, Trump has proposed using “large parcels of inexpensive land” to set up “tent cities” or camps for homeless people, coupled with a pledge to use “every tool, lever, and authority” to clear encampments from city streets. On the podcast Invisible People, which focuses on homelessness in America, Eric Tars of the National Homelessness Law Center said Utah’s new facility could be a “pilot program” for that effort around the country. “Their end goal is not just jail,” Tars said. “They want to put up more of these Alligator Alcatraz sprung structure type facilities,” referring to the ramshackle immigration detention facility constructed in a remote part of Florida’s Everglades earlier this year, where detainees have been cut off from access to their lawyers and are widely reported to suffer from inhumane treatment.
