16. Head Start and Early Head Start programs help poor people.Thus, Trump and Republicans hate them.

The Early Head Start program covers children 3 and younger, while Head Start covers those between 3 and 5 years old. Such programs are an important part of childcare options for low income families, thus allowing both parents to work, though one of them may have to work part-time if their local programs do not provide full-time care. The programs are administered by local nonprofit organizations that must follow federal childcare rules.

The programs have demonstrated great results for educational attainment and better social-emotional development that lasts a lifetime. Republicans seem to assume that most poor people are minorities, and this is just another way for Trump and Republicans to show their hatred of minorities and poor people. If the programs served only white male children, they would double the funding!
