Ex-Trump official on president's SNAP concern: 'He doesn't give a s‑‑‑' [View all]

Miles Taylor, who was a deputy chief of staff for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) during the first Trump administration, went after President Trump as the government shutdown endangers the distribution of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits this weekend.

“I was part of the internal Trump administration team trying to convince the president to end the shutdown in 2018 – 2019 — for 35 days — before people went hungry, workers lost pay, and government services collapsed,” Taylor said in a post on the social platform X Wednesday.

“Here’s what I learned: he doesn’t give a s‑‑‑,” he added.

SNAP funding runs out Friday.
