“Trump is starving the children”

And by “starving” they mean “at any time in the last year, regardless of circumstances, you hungry when you went to bed”. Well yeah, they sat thru dinner in front of a perfectly good meal, refused to eat it for whatever reason (usually distracted), and still haven’t learned the lesson “when it’s time to eat, you eat - no we’re not going to keep it perfectly warm & ready until you decide to eat it after bedtime.”

Yes, some kids are actually denied sustenance on a regular basis. Yes, let’s help them. Let’s just not confuse “starving the children” with “kid won’t eat when every sensible opportunity is given” and “sometimes circumstances dictate missing meals”.

Back during the Nixon-Kennedy debates, Kennedy bemoaned "Many Americans go to bed hungry." Nixon replied, "Yes, they're on a diet". Brought the house down.
