More than 1.1 million Americans dropped off the food stamp rolls since President Trump took office in January 2017, according to the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) statistics on food stamp enrollment.

Have you read the article ? It specifically explains how this drop has nothing to do with poor people being less poor, how this drop is artificial, how there's still as much (or even more) poor people than there was when Trump took office, they just don't apply or aren't eligible too foodstamps anymore).

Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration has also prompted many immigrants, both legal and illegal, to cancel their food stamps over concerns that they might be denied citizenship or deported.

Federal lawmakers are also working on legislation that would seek to expand food stamp work requirements and put time limits on how long those enrolled in the food stamp program can receive benefits.
At the state level, food stamp enrollment dropped significantly in places such as Georgia and Alabama once they instituted work requirements for able-bodied adults to receive food stamps. Both states fully implemented work requirements for food stamp recipients in 2016-2017

Trump does not pull US citizens out of poverty, he just make them less visible in government statistics. And poorer.

What part of "illegal" do you not understand?

You can't make the argument while including U.S. citizens and include illegals in the equation.

Illegals should be off of the welfare rolls.

About damn time.

MAGA.

Agreed. But having the number of people on foodstams fall because illegals are not longer eligible doesn't mean there are less poor poor in the country.

My point is this fall has nothing to do with Trumpnomics. People didn't get out of foodstamps because they aren't poor anymore.

I don't believe it.
I don't believe it because it isn't true.
