Trump supporters need to realize that if Trump is elected president there will be no more Social Security disability, no more Medicaid There will be no more food stamps. There will be no more housing assistance. There will be no more help with your child school lunches. When you chant “each their own, everyone pay for themselves”at Trump rallies you’re not just saying that to people who are not from this country, you realize that means you as well you can’t have both it ways people, think about it how many you can survive without government assistance?
