Trump warns homeless to leave Washington, D.C., ‘immediately’ President Donald Trump's remarks come as he has increased his rhetoric about countering crime in the District in recent days.

To put this in perspective:

There are < 5k homeless in DC.

He could have housed ALL of the homeless in DC ($500/mo in HD housing) for 7 years at the cost of his $200m golden ballroom in DC.

Trump just killed the unions at the EPA. Perfect chance to leverage this and overwhelm unions with this fact and the inevitability of what comes next.

Anyone out there making an issue of this ?

Well, it is certainly true that the 1600 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, “only gets dirtier and less attractive” the longer Trump is there.

Your periodic reminder (like, every time he opens his mouth): Matthew Whitaker's primary claim to fame before getting senior Trump admin. posts was that he worked for a company shut down for fraud by the FTC marketing special toilets for men.

I spent my childhood on the outskirts of DC, I saw what went from a handful of folks with mental issues pushing shopping carts around the Mall to an epidemic of unhoused folks thanks to Reagan & awful GOP. Now Trump is essentially declaring war on our fellow humans & DC. 🖕🏻MAGA.

I know you can be precise when you want to.
So why are you fudging language now? For example:

It’s not “Congress.”
It’s Congressional REPUBLICANS. Them.
Your guys.

And it’s not “absent minded.”
It’s INTENTIONAL.

You know better.

Abbott wants Texas Dems to be removed from office for "abandoning" their voters for 10 days. Yet my Congressman Sylvester Turner died on March 5th & Abbott didn't call for a replacement election until November with an expect runoff in December. I'll go 10 months without representation. Weird, right?
