    The Trump administration's efforts to reduce food stamp enrollment, including cuts to SNAP funding and stricter work requirements, are having far-reaching impacts. About 37 million low- and no-income people in the U.S. rely on food stamps, with enrollment still above pre-pandemic levels.

The slowdown was driven by disruptions in energy markets, fractured supply chains, and increased everyday costs. Consumer confidence has dropped as Americans face rising gasoline prices, with regular gasoline averaging $4.22 a gallon in the second quarter. The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady, acknowledging no quick fix to ease living costs. Despite these economic indicators, Trump remains focused on expanding the war in Iran.
