This is not LAMF. The SNAP benefits are being affected by a government shutdown, and Trump obviously was never campaigning on or making a promise to shut down the government, so the first condition of LAMF (supporting the politician's promise to do X) literally can't be met.

Trump obviously was never campaigning on or making a promise to shut down the government, so the first condition of LAMF (supporting the politician’s promise to do X) literally can’t be met.

But he's the self-proclaimed world's best deal maker, no?

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

If your implication is that his failure to make a deal caused the government shutdown, that only supports my point more. Failing altogether to deliver on a campaign promise also is mutually exclusive with a LAMF situation.

You can't have a 'he promised to do X, I assumed he'd do it to these other people only even though he didn't say that, and now he's doing it to me' situation, if X never gets done in the first place.
