Hillary Clinton is drawing sharp pushback after claiming that profits the Trump family has made from the presidency could cover a full year of SNAP benefits for about 1.3 million people. During an appearance on the “On with Kara Swisher” podcast, the former U.S. senator representing New York and former secretary of state said the corruption putting money in Trump’s pockets is costing Americans. The remarks quickly prompted online reactions questioning her credibility and highlighting the Clinton Foundation and related past controversies.
In the clip, which comes from a recent episode of the “On with Kara Swisher” podcast, Clinton discusses alleged profits linked to the Trump family during the presidency. She states, “The profit that the Trump family has made off of the presidency could actually pay for a full year of SNAP benefits for about 1.3 million people, more than 600 million free school lunches, or three months of groceries for the 5.2 million people who have been thrown off SNAP.”
She continues, “So that’s putting it into, you know, very concrete terms. You’re wasting your tax money. The corruption is rife. It’s undermining government services, even our national defense. And it is hurting people who should be able to get some support because of their, you know, needs for food or their need to pay their bills.”
Clinton’s post caption reads, “The corruption that is putting money in Trump’s pockets is costing all of us.” The remarks align with comments she has made previously about SNAP benefit reductions following the enactment of H.R. 1, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
According to an analysis cited in reporting on the episode, about 5.2 million Americans have lost SNAP benefits since the law took effect. The specific claim that Trump family profits equal the cost of a full year of SNAP for 1.3 million people has not been independently verified in available reporting.
How Viewers Are Responding to the Remarks
On X, many quote posts questioned Clinton’s standing to raise the issue. One user wrote, “You have no credibility, Madam. You did terrible damage to our Society and our Republic with your lies and wicked schemes.”
Another stated, “I’ve made no secret of my loathing for Fat Orange, but have you ever heard of the Clinton Foundation?”
A third wrote, “Crooked Hillary won’t talk about the hundreds of millions acquired by The Clinton Foundation.”
On Facebook, where Clinton also shared the clip, some commenters expressed support. One wrote, “Mrs. Clinton, this is a perfect articulate response to the reality that is occurring at the moment.”
Others focused on the SNAP comparison itself. Democratic lawmakers such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren have separately highlighted the scale of SNAP reductions, stating that “5 million people have already lost food assistance, including 1.5 million+ kids since the bill was enacted.”
For now, the clip has become part of a wider online conversation about presidential profits and recent changes to SNAP. Viewers continue to weigh Clinton’s specific comparisons against longstanding questions about credibility and the scale of benefit reductions.
