New Jersey mayor opens Trump food boxes, removes president’s letter, and replaces it with his own

Boxes of fresh food distributed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture were delivered to Linden residents this week, but a letter from President Donald Trump was replaced by one from Mayor Derek Armstead.

Fresh food deliveries went to Linden senior citizen buildings

A letter from President Donald Trump that accompanied U.S. Department of Agriculture fresh food boxes for Linden was replaced by one from the city’s Democratic mayor, Derek Armstead.

Food boxes were opened by local public works department employees. Trump’s letter was removed and a letter from Armstead was added.

“The original letter in these boxes was removed, and the mayor had city employees put in his letter on work time,” said Councilwoman Gretchen Hickey, a Democrat and an Armstead political rival.

Armstead acknowledged that his message was added to the box, offering local residents the impression to recipients that the food came from him.

“Whenever I do a delivery, I always add a letter from the mayor,” Armstead told the New Jersey Globe.

Trump says his administration has delivered 100 million Farmers to Families food boxes since May as part of a program to send nutritious food to families in need.

Included in the box is a letter from Trump on White House stationary that includes guidance to reduce the risk of being infected with COVID-19.

“The Mayor bragged about himself and his hand-outs,” Hickey said. “Trickery, deceitfulness, and theft for votes is very much alive in Linden.”

Trump launched the food box program last spring after some farmers said they were destroying food because the coronavirus pandemic left them with limited options to sell their food.

The Linde boxes came from DiMare Fresh, a Boston-based food repacking company.

Trump’s decision to add his letter to food distribution for needy families in advance of the November 3 presidential election has drawn some criticism.

“It is quite unethical and a misuse of government funds,” the executive director of a Chicago food pantry, Dr. Evelyn Figueroa, executive director of the Pilsen Food Pantry, said last month. “I find it highly offensive that we have a letter in here that doesn’t add any value and to me it seems very self-promoting.”

Figueroa said the Pilsen Food Pantry was removing Trump’s letter from about 200 boxes.

I’ve heard that there hasn’t been any rioting in NJ so far from BLM, Antifa, or anyone else. I wonder if it will stay that way. The governor is a socialist POS. What would stop people from rioting? Whose side would the Police take? Will food stores start adding security?

So far so good. Our police are good where we live.
We have some liberals but it is still Republican dominated. We also have a chief of police living near us. I have also seen some other thin blue line flags around so whether they are police, relatives or just support them, it’s a good sign.

The owners of where we go food shopping, loves Trump. It’s a chain – Shop Rite. When you enter you are blasted with God Bless America by Kate Smith or Ken Greenwood’s, Proud to be an American. Liberals must hate that.

There are other safe areas but NJ is dominated by Democrappers, illegals and other criminals.

Sure you do. Saracasm off.

This was a program Trump set up in cooperation with farmers and DiMare Fresh. Odd how the critic, Dr. Evelyn Figueroa, executive director of the Pilsen Food Pantry, has no problems with a corrupt Democrat mayor in NJ inserting his letter for false self promotion… Maybe it doesn’t “add value” to you but it would for the recipients. Of course based on no standard DEMS, removing the letter isn’t “unethical”. LOL! DEMS ooze of hypocrisy.

It’s bad enough the Mayor pulled this crap but to have this person the boxes were bought from decide she can override the President of the United States is a sign of how far into the toilet the Democrats have fallen. “Dr. Evelyn Figueroa, executive director of the Pilsen Food Pantry, said last month. “I find it highly offensive that we have a letter in here that doesn’t add any value and to me it seems very self-promoting.”
Figueroa said the Pilsen Food Pantry was removing Trump’s letter from about 200 boxes.

This sentence bothered me quite a lot: “Dr. Evelyn Figueroa, executive director of the Pilsen Food Pantry, said
last month. “I find it highly offensive that we have a letter in here
that doesn’t add any value and to me it seems very self-promoting.”

Based on this tendency to wallow in being offended all the time my guess is that she is a Democrat. President Trump caused her to have food for the food pantry she oversees. There is no information given here that says whether or not she was offended by the Mayor removing Trump’s truthful letter and replacing it with his own in which he takes credit for Trumps’ efforts on behalf of these citizens. Disgusting.

Firstly, it might seem like “bragging”, but informing the recipients of whence and why they are receiving food, and explaining a creative program which helps farmers as well seems entirely proper, and, in fact, I would not have objected had, say, Obama written this letter. It is explaining where the benefit comes from, and makes clear that it is a special program, not the “usual” resource for them. On the other hand, the letter from the mayor does not make this clear – rather, instead of explaining that this is a farm program, this crook seems to be implying that this largesse is his own effort and expense, instead of crediting a program which helps everyone it touches. Crass. In fact, one could argue that his mayor has stolen the goods and repackaged them as a gift from his office. It seems illegal to me. This mayor is, in effect nothing more than a porch pirate. Nowhere did this thief credit the sources or the many agencies involved such as the Dept. of Agriculture or anyone’s efforts who actually accomplished this nice program. He simply stole the food from the Dept. of Agriculture and repackaged it – like stealing someone else’s package and opening it up and giving it to friends as “Christmas presents”. NOWHERE did this little sleaze acknowledge the sources. Nor did he forward the advice on avoiding becoming sick which was included. Trump did a service here and explained it, which is entirely right. Trump’s letter was honest and straightforward. This sleazy grub town mayor’s was dishonest and amounted to theft of goods – and services – inserting himself between the people and a creative problem solving team. Just think, that rat Herbert Hoover, when farmers were unable to get a decent price for their food, while people elsewhere were suffering extreme hardship and hunger, the rat ordered farmers to destroy their livestock and produce so as to raise prices. Food was destroyed while people starved. Had someone with a working brain been there instead of Hoover, maybe they’d have come up with something more like this. Shame on this mayor and his henchmen (who should have reported him to the US Justice Dept. (at least find if they cared) and shame on the people who elected him. I hope they remember this next time he’s up for election. The character he seems most like is “Angel Martin” from The Rockford Files.

Amazing! She criticizes Trump’s actions, then does the exact same thing, herself ….. talk about “unethical”, “misuse of funds”, and “self-promotion”.

I must admit that there are many useless GOP mayors in America, but that does not detract from the fact that are almost no decent Amercans of the democratic persuasion in any offices of our nation.

The Democratic Party is hovering at the gate of treason & terrorism. If Trump is re-elected President, we all had better be prepared for unprecidented violence and dangerous retaliation from the party of Biden, Pelosi, Schumer and the dozens of other traitors who have hi-jacked the party that gave the KuKluxKlan to our nation.

As a patriot for America, I am wishing for Trump’s victory in the election, and four-year efforts of gutting and forcing a total realignment of the DNC into an organization that can at least claim to support the Founding Fathers’ plans for a well-run democratic republic, with the emphasis on “REPUBLIC”.

I thank God for President Trump and his best allies in the GOP.
