Reagan hated handing out things to poor people. Was he holding up the cheese to be like “see what those undeserving poors are getting from your taxes?”

Wasn’t it something like a scheme to liquidate government reserves of basic foodstuffs by replacing some food stamps with lesser shipments of arbitrary preserved foods, which ran up through the Clinton years until the supplies were finally exhausted?

Look at how clenched his face is. That is the face of a man who is doing everything in his power to resist the dimentia-driven urge to consume the entire block of cheese in one go while the press watches.
