the SNAP trap

[kengr]

The recent court decisions forcing Trump to pay for SNAP benefits have implications that I'm not sure most people recognize.

In particular his "request" that the courts tell him where to get the money.

This is actually a *major* red flag. He wants the courts to spell it out so he can use their logic to mess with other funds that h's been holding back (illegally!) and redirect money to things he wants.

So that "innocent request" is apt to become a *major* problem if the courts don't treat it like the trap it is.

Want to bet that the funds are no longer there? That he's already embezzled them and that's why he's fighting this?

[kengr]

That's the thing. He *isn't* fighting it. He just the court(s) to tell him *in detail* where to get the money.

This is fighting it... he can play a pea & shell game, he can stall if the courts don't cross all the t's and dot all the i's on the order, etc. Fighting it while seeming to comply basically.

Normal modus operandi for a sleazy businessman like him in other words.

And why setting the Wild Hunt on him seems completely justified right now.
