SHS: Trump is "particularly interested" in doing something the Red Hats really won't like. REALLY.



TRUMP WHITE HOUSE GOES AFTER WHITE PEOPLE ON WELFARE

http://www.newsweek.com/trump-white-house-goes-after-white-people-welfare-717759

The Trump administration could hit the president’s white working-class base where it hurts—threatening to make welfare cuts.

The majority of people who receive welfare checks are white working-class Americans, many of whom voted for Trump based on the pledge they would be better off financially under him.

But the president said last month he would be looking “very strongly” at welfare reform after suggesting that some people were unfairly abusing the system.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on Monday that details of the administration’s plans to overhaul welfare would be released at the beginning of next year, stressing that Trump was particularly interested in the topic.

Welfare reform is for People of Color.

They will find some way to skew the effects so that it only impacts "those" people.

People have no idea how bad this is gonna get. They're going to take away welfare by saying it's being abused. The blame (falsely) will be placed on blacks and other minorities. When whites lose their benefits they're going to blame minorities. When whites can't find a job (after losing benefits) they're going to blame minorities. This will result in an increase and escalation (lynchings, cross burning etc) in hate crimes and the eventual full blown race war. Part of the 'burn it to the ground' ideology.

This guy is out to screw everyone except rich people. And the look on that woman's face as he touches her baby is so creepy. It's like she's in a state of ecstatic devotion to some inner greediness that only his supporters can feel.
