With a compliant Republican-majority Congress poised to pass Donald Trump's "beautiful" budget once the GOP dissenters are brought to heel, reportedly by the president and some his allies this week, some of Trump's most ardent fans will be hit hardest as they cheer his MAGA agenda on.
According to New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie, the massive government cuts cobbled together by House Republicans will devastate voters in the communities that helped propel Trump back into the Oval Office.
As he pointed out, an observer might assume that the president would look out for and reward the very people who have backed him all the way, but that would be just about anyone else not named Donald Trump.

He wrote that in communities where Trump did his best, the culture war is top of the mind with voters, with Bouie explaining, "The irony is that for all of the Republican Party’s cultural affinity for rural America, its policy agenda is singularly hostile to the material interests of the millions of Americans who live in rural areas."
He noted there is little in the way of pushback against Republicans and Trump cashing in on cultural grievances while picking the pockets of the voters who have supported them.
"If Trump and the Republican Party can successfully cut Medicaid and SNAP to pay for upper-income tax cuts, they will almost certainly plunge millions of people — including many of their supporters — into poverty, possibly made worse by the economic disruption of the president’s trade agenda," he predicted before warning, "It is a good thing for Republicans, then, that they have grown exceptionally skilled at using cultural grievance and resentment to spin devastation, often of their own making, into political gold."
