9. 3.8 Million Americans have been lifted off food stamps in 2 and 1/2 years under the Trump Presidency.
There is no way around this having Americans working is better than being dependent on the government. American manufacturing is flourishing and middle America is having some upward job mobility for the first time in a while.
The latest USDA data revealed that food stamp participation dropped to 38,577,141 in November 2018, down by 3,899,257 since Trump took office in February 2017, when 42,134,301 Americans received food stamps through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
Food stamp enrollment also dropped to its lowest level in a decade. The last time overall food stamp participation was this low was in November 2009, when 38,184,306 people were on the government dole, according to USDA data.

Having your citizens being fulfilled and happy is only able to happen when they aren’t under financial pressure. Earning a livable wage lifts Americans out of poverty should be one of the primary reasons we have a government. Under President Trump we are seeing middle class wage increase adjusted for purchasing parity for the first time in decades. Americans are also very optimistic for the first time in a long time.
