Trump suddenly reneges on SNAP benefits despite judge's order

Story by David Edwards Rawstory November 4, 2025

President Donald Trump announced that Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits would not be disbursed until the government shutdown ends after attorneys for his administration promised a federal judge that at least half of the payments would be sent out in November.

"SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden's disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly 'handed' to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before! Thank you for your attention to this matter," the president announced Tuesday in a post on Truth Social.

On Friday, Trump insisted that "it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding, just like I did with Military and Law Enforcement Pay" after multiple courts ordered his administration to use contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits.

Over the weekend, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNN that payments "could be" restored by Wednesday.
