Hunger grips rural West Virginia community after Trump cuts

Original: Starve the poor- embolden the # Oligarchy - # Trump fails # again "Hunger grips a rural community hit by Trump’s cuts Th

Hunger is reported to be gripping a rural community in West Virginia's coal country, where food banks and volunteers on the front lines of feeding their neighbours say they face unprecedented challenges brought on by Washington. Critics blame Trump's cuts, accusing the administration of starving the poor while emboldening an oligarchy, and say the president has failed again.

Why now: People are reacting to the effects of Trump's budget cuts on food aid in poor rural communities.
