I can't find ANY other (credible) news source reporting this (reuters, AP, etc.)
According to the latest data, SNAP enrollment during the first few months of Trump’s presidency decreased by 2.79 percent.
This doesn't suggest or even offer evidence that the 2.79% decrease is a result of Trump. It just so happens that was in office and not likely any actions he took in the first 60-90 days would have such a quick turn around.
Trump proposed cuts to SNAP in his 2018 budget proposal, suggesting that states match up to 20 percent of federal money allotted for the food stamp program and expand work requirements for able-bodied adults receiving food stamps.
Not sure why this is included, it does not affect the current status of SNAP.
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.
I'm not sure that some illegal immigrations canceling their food stamps is indicative of success. This isn't a result of more people getting jobs or anything sustainable.
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.
So...these states had drops in enrollment for actions they took prior to 2017 and 2016. Not sure how that would be because of Trump. In fact, it's probably a result of their state governors.
