Though Donny, Mitch and others have been actively trying to starve Americans by cutting food benefits and programs, his ill-advised 'trade war' is doing just the opposite at taxpayer expense.
"Since the diplomatic battle began in the summer of 2018, the U.S. government has purchased more than $1 billion dollars' worth of the food China normally would buy and is giving it to organizations that feed the hungry. "
"In September 2018, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced it would buy $1.2 billion in "surplus commodities affected by trade retaliation" and give them to food banks and schools. In May, the USDA expanded the program, promising to spend another $1.4 billion."
