They will appeal to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court will sign in their favor, meanwhile they will not spend any money.

They need a temporary restraining order in order to do that. Do they have one? I haven't seen it in any stories yet.
I don’t think I understand the question. A judge ordered Trump to do something. Trump does not have to do any of that, because he appealed. I’m not sure entirely how this process works… But I can guarantee you zero money will be spent on snap until the Supreme Court makes its decision. If the Supreme Court makes the decision that Trump has to support snap, Trump will still not support snap. No one is going to reach into the pocket of the government and pull out the money. It is just not going to happen. Every single thing that you see is just a puppet show.
Not arguing your conclusion, but to answer the question regarding the question
Just appealing a ruling doesn't mean he doesn't have to follow the ruling. He still has to follow the ruling until a judge, any judge involved in the case, says that he doesn't have to follow the ruling as either a temporary stay of said ruling or a permanent judgement.
So if he doesn't do as ordered (and I agree that he won't) he is 100% in violation of the law AND the judge's orders.
But also he's immune to prosecution for official acts, so why should Trump give a shit about any of that?
I guess we gotta kill him
What does "following the ruling" even look like? Does Trump have to cut a check for it? Is there some bureaucrat who pushes some buttons on a computer? Who will make either of those things happen? The courts have no enforcement arm. Congress has no enforcement arm. We're relying on American humans to follow the rules and I have given up hope on that happening.

The judge ordered the administration to report back by Sunday or Monday night with plans on how it would happen.
Actually two different judges in different states ruled this same way with the same requirement.

The Trump administration will undoubtedly appeal, possibly all the way to the Supreme Court.
That's gonna be a good look for them. /s
Doesn't matter how it looks. Cult members won't care, trump will ignore the order, people will starve.
The cruelty is literally the whole point. This administration is evil.
I don't think they're even going to bother to appeal as much as they're just going to ignore a court order... again.
Not much a kangaroo court can really do but make noise anyhow.
I bet some will care. And some is all you need. A few here and there from the things this administration does will make all the difference
This is an excellent point. Trump brought out 77.3 million votes for his coalition. Meanwhile, 75.0m voted Harris, and 3.0 million voted third party (mix of ideologies, not all would-be Harris votes). Add to that 90+ million non-voters, which probably has some fraction of the 6 or so million voters who voted for Biden in 2020 who didn't turn out for Harris. Convince 29k people in Wisconsin, 80k in Michigan, 120k in Pennsylvania, and like 45k in Nevada to turn out for Harris, and we're not having this conversation right now. We don't need all the cult to switch votes. Frankly, 1% swapping or 2% actually turning out is all we need. And people dooming about how set the Trumpers are seem to be working more to depress enthusiasm amongst Blue Team players than actually save democracy.

I'm sure at some point a judge ordered Hitler to stop killing Jews.
Hitler literally got a law passed so that a judge couldn't block him from doing anything. So until Trump has his Reischtag fire and declares a state of emergency it's not really comparable.
Passed shortly after Hitler became Chancellor, the Act effectively transferred significant legislative authority from the Reichstag (the German parliament) to Hitler and his cabinet, allowing them to enact laws without parliamentary consent. The Act also permitted amendments to the constitution and control over the national budget. Despite its ostensibly reassuring language regarding the roles of the president and parliament, the Enabling Act fundamentally undermined democratic governance in Germany.
We already had the "official acts" SCOTUS ruling instead.
The ruling which states that SCOTUS itself is the final arbiter of what constitutes an "official act." So if (lol) there's ever a non-GOP president again, SCOTUS has the ability to take away Presidential Immunity whenever asked to rule on a relevant case. A neat trick that everyone seemed to forget during the Biden admin.

There's no fire. He just paid a bunch of people to tear down the white house.
Sure, he'll probably blame Dems

I'm not sure if that's true or not.
Hitler essentially stripped out all Jewish sympathy from the german legal system almost as soon as he took power.
There were several legal challenges, especially against the concentration camps. They were quite close to succeeding
Trump's legal troubles are very similar, especially is regards to their shared attempts to overthrow the government (although Hitler lost and received a stern slap on the wrist)
Don't give ideas to pedonald.
Because there are no consequences for his crimes and lawlessness, 42 million Americans are now without the food support they need.

At some point I expect the admin to admit they already spent the money. What will the courts do then?
That wouldn't do anything at all. The government simply spends money into existence. If the judge tells them to pay SNAP, then they magic the money into existence.
The federal government cannot run out of money, it can only increase inflation.

Nothing. It will have been a "presidential duty" immune from consequences, as ordained by the bootlickers in the SCrOTUS.
So how is the judiciary expected to enforce this?
Not sure, but it does give Republicans an additional roadblock in their propaganda campaign to blame Democrats.
If people do start going hungry, the GOP might not like the reaction they get from some people in their own base.
At the very least, maybe there will be a few people whose echo chambers ring with “it’s the dems fault”, who will hear this and finally start to think.
Presidential elections hinge on one or two percent of voters do every little bit helps

This is good, because people won't go hungry
This is bad, because concessions and breadcrumbs like this will prevent people from overthrowing this tyrant
Looks like he's ignoring it
Then people lacking long term health care - like Luigi - will be better soldiers than starving people.
Those shitheads haven't listened to any judges yet, they aren't starting now. SCrOTUS let the orange cancer be above the law.
The only positive thing is that this will hurt MAGAts more. They'll get to experience what they voted for. Thankfully my blue state has already started shuffling funding toward feeding people here.
So there's obviously a back and forth on the legal side, but presumably people are right now getting the funds when they go buy food, right? It says "will not have to make hard choices" but doesn't specifically say there's money for them right NOW.
Yeah, there’s no money. Appealing will stop the funding, and for some reason USDA said it takes “weeks” to get the SNAP debit cards reloaded. https://thehill.com/homenews/nexstar_media_wire/5583746-when-will-snap-ebt-cards-be-reloaded-delays-still-possible-despite-judges-rulings/
So hard choices are back on the menu.

Some states gave some funds to EBT cards. Some didn't.
The way this admin wields power reminds me of one of my favorite video game quotes.
