Cardi B explodes at Trump over food stamp cuts, says he ‘was never for the poor’

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rapper Cardi B unleashed a furious tirade against President Donald Trump this week, slamming him over the looming food stamp cuts that could leave millions of Americans without vital nutrition assistance next month.

The 33-year-old Grammy winner, known for her outspoken political views, erupted on Instagram Live on October 26, blasting Trump and his supporters over what she called a “betrayal of the poor.”

Cardi B says Trump was ‘never for the poor’

The rapper didn’t hold back as she called out the president and his policies in a profanity-laced rant.

“Donald Trump was never for y’all poor mother*******,” Cardi fumed. “Donald Trump was never for the poor people. For the white poors, for the Black poors, for the Spanish poors, for the Asians, for the Indians. He don’t give a f*** about none of y’all. To him, even millionaires are poor.”

Her outburst came after the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) posted a notice warning that the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) would run out of funds on November 1 amid the ongoing government shutdown. “Bottom line, the well has run dry,” the announcement read, blaming Senate Democrats for stalling on budget votes.

Cardi B lashes out at Trump as 2.4 million Americans face food benefit loss

The Trump administration has reportedly declined to tap into $5 billion in contingency funds to cover SNAP costs, sparking outrage as roughly 2.4 million Americans could lose access to food benefits. Cardi B, who has frequently criticized Trump’s handling of economic issues, accused him of using immigrants as scapegoats for the nation’s struggles.

“Now, Donald Trump was blaming the immigrants for America’s downfall,” she said. “I understand if a country wants stricter immigration laws, but he used that as an excuse for the issues that we have in this country, in this economy.”

The 'Bodak Yellow' hitmaker pointed out that despite mass deportations, Trump’s policies have failed to improve economic conditions. “Now, how many f***ing immigrants has he deported? So now the immigrants are deported, who are we blaming for the fact that we are practically going into a recession? We don’t even have food stamps.”

Earlier this year, Cardi B revealed that her uncle had been deported following Trump’s return to the White House, a decision she publicly begged him to reverse. “Bring my uncle to come back because my uncle got deported!” she exclaimed in a February livestream, doubting the president would ever consider it.

In another viral rant, the rapper said Donald Trump’s Super Bowl appearance indirectly caused her to ruin her $3,000 Christian Louboutin heels. “Shoes cost me three bands. All ’cause of Trump. Now I like him lesser,” she said, showing the damaged pair to her followers.

The rapper, who famously brags about “red bottoms” in her hit single “Bodak Yellow”, appeared to be holding the brand’s Estepic Sandal Alta, a spiked platform sandal retailing for over $3,000. She joked that the Secret Service shutdown of cart services forced her to walk long distances, leading to the damage.
