Could one of Trump’s big donors help out these families?

I have no problem whatsoever funding these families.
We should move these expenditures into Veteran’s benefits and make them essential, not subject to any shutdown.
While we are at it, we should sharply limit the categories of food and groceries that these benefits in general can buy, down to basic necessities. It can’t be that hard with today’s technologies.
No. How about a DEMOCRAT BILLIONAIRE HELPING OUT?
I wonder where that number came from? There are ~750K Guard and Reserve members. That is almost a third of those members having SNAP benefits which I find hard to believe. There are ~1.2M active duty members and only ~20K of them are on SNAP. There are numerous articles that suggest this is ballpark accurate. For the Guard and Reserve, the only place that I can find the 215K number is at military.com.
