Funny that Trump is trying to blame democrats for missing SNAP benefits, when he axed many portions of SNAP with his stupid ass spending bill.

That's really the pressing question of the next week. I don't think Trump has sufficient advisors to explain to him that this situation could easily turn into the sort of cliff Coyote falls off of after the Roadrunner stops for a second or two and watches him go by. I'm not sure he's still touching ground, but he hasn't looked down at the canyon yet, so as with anyone lacking object permanence, it doesn't exist.
What happens next? Hopefully mass rioting and/or plotting to get rid of billionaires and the government.
The rioting happens when Cheeto decides not to pay Social Security.
If it really happens? People will go hungry. Probably more so in red states than blue ones. I don't suppose we are likely to see starving people on TV; the media oligarchs wouldn't like that.
But after a few weeks of hunger we might start to see people in the streets.
