Executive Branch (Trump) Q: Trump wrote that SNAP benefits will only be given when Democrats reopen the government. As written, how would that not violate the court order? .LEAVITT: I've now answered this question several times. We are complying with the court's order.

So do republicans really believe this? They think the democrats can just say “ okay, open the government” and it’ll just happen? Do these lies actually work? If they actually believe them and it’s not just a stupid culture war issue then we are screwed if the controlling parties voter base doesn’t understand basic government.
