Did Trump Receive Welfare Benefits in New York?

Curious... with such low income, did Trump receive welfare benefits that he may have been "entitled" to?

This could include food stamps, WIC, HEAP, etc..

Maybe even some that were automatically applied?

What tax breaks did he get for being "poor" on his tax return?

Talking point: There are people working multiple jobs, 50-60 hours a week, who get welfare benefits due to their income and he rails on them -- meanwhile he probably qualified for it while living in oppulence and may have even benefited from it...

What a POS...

Donald Trump Still Getting Tax Break Meant For Homeowners Making Under $500,000 A Year

So he was getting STAR benefits which he probably didn't even qualify for because he was not reporting income.
