BREAKING NEWS: Vin Diesel lashes out at Trump administration for cutting food aid programs ahead of the holidays — “This is inhumane!”
Fast & Furious actor Vin Diesel has sparked a firestorm online by publicly criticizing the Trump administration for cutting food aid programs for the poor ahead of the holidays.
In an emotional speech posted on social media, Vin Diesel couldn’t hide his anger:
“This is bullshit! People are struggling to feed their kids, to put food on the table. And yet people at the top are cutting benefits like they’ve never had to worry about an empty fridge. You guys are so heartless I can’t believe it.”
His words quickly went viral, garnering millions of shares and comments in just a few hours. Fans are praising Vin Diesel as not only a tough action actor but also a man who dares to speak the truth – especially when political statements often put celebrities at risk and in trouble.
According to reports from the US Department of Agriculture, cuts to the SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) program – considered a “lifeline” for millions of poor families – will leave more than 2 million people without access to food during the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas season. Food banks in many states say they are facing serious shortages as the number of people seeking assistance skyrocket.
Vin Diesel, who experienced a difficult childhood in New York, said he knows what it feels like to be hungry. In an old interview, he shared that his family had to “eat instant noodles and food from church.” So seeing millions of American families in similar situations has made him unable to stay silent.
“This is not about politics. This is about people,” Diesel continued. “We cannot call ourselves a great country if we let our children go to bed hungry. Those in power need to look into the eyes of the people, not their pockets.”
Vin Diesel’s comments immediately divided the online community. Many strongly supported him, saying this was a necessary voice from someone with great influence. However, some conservatives criticized Diesel for “lacking economic knowledge” and “trying to gain media points by attacking Trump.”
However, most of the public agreed that cutting food assistance at a time when people are struggling with rising living costs is an inhumane act. Many nonprofit organizations have spoken out to thank Vin Diesel for using his fame to draw attention to this serious issue.
An article in The Guardian commented:
“When a Hollywood icon like Vin Diesel stands up and speaks about poverty and social justice, it’s not just symbolic. It can create real pressure for leaders to listen.”
So far, Mr. Trump and representatives of the Republican Party have not officially responded to Vin Diesel’s criticism. However, public opinion is growing as many other stars such as Gal Gadot, Mark Ruffalo and Alyssa Milano have also begun to speak out against this support cut.
Vin Diesel ended his post with a strong call:
“Don’t talk about making America great if you can’t feed a child.”
His speech was more than just a political message — it was a humane reminder of compassion, in a world where power and fame sometimes make people forget the most important thing: empathy.
