instead of burning it, why wasn't the food distributed among needy U.S. citizens, if trump is so hellbent on letting "Foreigners" starve? Some cut him off from his big macs and KFC. Give him three days without them. By then, he might understand what hunger in the belly feels like. I doubt he'll ever feel or understand what hunger of the mind and soul feels like - he'd have to have those before he could deprive them!
