He cannot withhold the benefits they need for food for their families. Even now, Donald Trump appealed to the Supreme Court yet again to try and get out of paying full SNAP benefits.

But going all the way up to the Supreme Court not once, but twice to ensure kids go hungry is about as cruel a thing as he's ever done. (00:37–00:46)
