"Where does he get the stats from? Stephen Miller?" tweeted Midler, 74. "He lies so much, why should we believe him tonight or ever? He THREW PEOPLE OFF food stamps, and didn’t 'lift' people off welfare, he kicked them out to join the homeless."

"The horror is the point The cruelty is the feature," said actor John Cusack. "...Trump is literally lauding himself for kicking 7 million people off of food stamps and millions more off of welfare. He’s proud that struggling families are struggling more. The GOP applauded him. SMH."
