I think Internet and probably also certain media should be regulated as utilities, forced not to split up the country into monopolies in violation of antitrust etc,
But, as I recall, Trump promised to help the middle class, not the poor. A lot of people who qualify for Lifeline don't take it because they identify as middle class, whatever their income, and they resent people who grab every handout. A lot of existing welfare programs like this are also brutal to people when they go back to work.
