Overview

• President Trump claims that cuts to SNAP and Medicaid will result in lower grocery and gas prices, but independent data and experts strongly dispute these assertions.
• The proposed Republican budget would cut benefits for approximately 42 million low-income Americans, raising concerns about increased hardship for vulnerable populations.
• Trump inaccurately stated that gasoline prices had dropped to $1.99 per gallon, while the national average is $3.17 according to AAA, with no state reporting prices below $2.66.
• Advocacy groups and experts, including a Nevada food bank head, warn that these cuts could harm not just recipients but also retailers, farmers, and local economies.
• Despite defending the budget cuts, Trump reassured his MAGA supporters that their health insurance would remain intact, a claim met with skepticism by critics.
