Fact Check: Has the Trump administration lifted over 600,000 Americans off food stamps in nine months, setting a record?

Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.

Claimant: Donald Trump (R)

Claim: “In nine months, we’ve lifted over 600,000 Americans off of food stamps, and that’s a record.”

Rating: FALSE

Explanation: SNAP enrollment fell by about 645,000 from January to May 2025, but this was not a record. A larger drop — 870,000 — occurred between October 2024 and January 2025. The decline reflected economic conditions and policies discouraging participation, not a historic achievement.
