In a shocking turn of events, the GOP’s food stamp plan has been found to violate Senate rules. This latest setback for Trump’s big bill has left lawmakers scratching their heads and scrambling to come up with a new plan.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was caught off guard by the news, exclaiming, “I can’t believe this! How could we have overlooked such an obvious violation of Senate rules? This is embarrassing!”
The plan, which aimed to cut food stamp benefits for millions of Americans, was met with fierce opposition from Democrats and even some Republicans. Senator Chuck Schumer was quick to pounce on the news, stating, “I told you this plan was a disaster waiting to happen. It’s time for the GOP to come up with a better solution that doesn’t violate Senate rules.”
But not everyone is taking the news so seriously. Senator Ted Cruz, known for his love of all things Texas, joked, “Well, I guess we’ll just have to go back to eating beans and cornbread. It’s a tough life, but we’ll manage.”
The White House has yet to comment on the situation, but sources say that President Trump is not pleased with the setback. A fake White House spokesperson, Sarah McEnany, quipped, “The President is very disappointed that his big bill has hit a snag. He was really looking forward to cutting those food stamp benefits. Guess he’ll have to find another way to stick it to the poor.”
As lawmakers regroup and try to come up with a new plan, one thing is clear – the GOP’s food stamp debacle is just the latest in a string of setbacks for Trump’s administration. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
