Trump’s Regime Is Starving Americans By Cutting Aid And Attacking Farmers
More and more people in the USA are turning to food banks, while farmers are facing the reality of Trump's ICE raids

Across the USA, people are lining up earlier and earlier outside food banks that used to have enough to last the week. Shelves that once held canned goods and dry beans are half empty before noon, volunteers warn that they can’t keep up anymore. And somewhere in Washington, a government that promised to put America first is making sure fewer Americans can eat.
The Trump administration’s latest move to cut off emergency funds for SNAP has pushed millions toward the edge of hunger. This is a deliberate act of cruelty by a regime that has made cruelty the norm in the USA. The government is refusing to release billions already approved for food aid, while food banks and state programs collapse under the pressure.
At the same time, the very people who grow the food are being crushed. Trump’s so-called revival of American farming has turned into a full-scale assault on the agricultural base. Tariffs, ICE kidnappings, and lost export markets have gutted small and medium farms across the Midwest and California. Deportations and workplace raids have driven away the workers who actually plant and harvest the crops, and as a result, fields are rotting in the sun while grocery prices climb, in some areas by over 38%.
The supply chain is being broken, it is an act of destruction by the Trump administration. Independent farmers are being bought up or driven out, leaving only the corporations that can afford to wait out the chaos. Food is becoming another commodity to hoard and weaponize, as the regime continues to make it clear that the American people themselves are their enemies.
It’s no coincidence that the cuts hit the poorest communities hardest. The same neighbourhoods already punished by housing costs and medical debt are now being told to tighten their belts again, and likely not for the last time. The annual USDA hunger report, which once exposed the truth about food insecurity, has been scrapped entirely. If you don’t count the hungry, you don’t have to admit they exist, and that’s the route that this administration has taken, rather than provide policies that tackle the issues.
When you punish the poor, you control them, when you starve the farmers, you remind them who really owns the land. And that is now the situation Americans have found themselves in. Hunger is becoming a political weapon, not just by the USA’s middle eastern partners, but by the U.S. government themselves.
Food banks that once served a few dozen families now serve hundreds, up to and including American troops. Crops are dying in the field for lack of workers, forcing prices higher and forcing families to skip meals to pay rent.
This is all part of a strategy to reshape the country into one of dependency on fear rather than community. Americans are being told to compete for scraps in a real life hunger games that is only going to get worse.
Starving people are easier to control, that’s the maths of this.
And when the day comes that hunger is a fact of life, we will remember who turned food into a weapon, but a large number of U.S. citizens will be too hungry to fight back against them. And that’s their plan.

The U.S. Department of Justice quietly scrubbed a study from its website that confirmed that far-right extremists have carried out more ideologically motivated killings in the United States than any other group. An archived version of the study still remains online.
