Donald Trump has demanded that the homeless “immediately” move out of Washington, D.C. to make the nation’s capital “more beautiful.”
Trump reiterated his Saturday announcement that he’s set to hold a press conference at the White House on Monday, adding on Truth Social on Sunday that “I’m going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before.”
“The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY,” he continued. “We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital. The Criminals, you don’t have to move out. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong.”
The best thing to do to make DC more beautiful would be to permanently remove a certain bloated orange eyesore.
The people demand traitor pedophiles immediately leave Washington DC
Better kick him out to make the capital “more smart”.
Trump needs to be shot and dragged out of DC and then it will be beautiful.
How did an allegedly civilized country allow one of the worst people imaginable to become their leader?
Same way it has happened hundreds of times before. An ant doesn’t know how an ant colony works and it doesn’t realize when its in a death spiral.
Weird, everyone else could tell and even huge amounts of their own population could, too. Empires of the past didn’t have the internet but these days you can very easily* see how the ant colony works.
*it does require some level intelligence, but it’s pretty much all there.
Imagine treating people you are supposed to be protecting as head of state this way. Or continuing to support the head of state who does so. This country is disgraceful.
Classic conservative mindset.
Ignore a problem or demand that it cease to exist instead of figuring out how to solve it.
What’s the last time a Conservative has solved any problem? Seriously, my entire lifetime I can’t think of a single thing where I’m like “Ah, good this conservative fixed this…”
I have one example, and it was the Conservative premier from Ontario who finally got rid of the single-family home only zoning restrictions. Unfortunately for conservatives that’s not exactly a right-wing policy and he likely only did it because he is corrupt as hell and developers wanted to increase density to make more money(whatever gets us there, I guess). I also haven’t looked into it and it could be very badly done, plus the amount of horrid shit he’s done really kinda does not makenit worth it.
Basically, when they’re paid off by special interests and do things uncharacteristic of right-wing policy then things go ok. Hardly a ringing endorsement.
Alligator Auschwitz won’t populate itself
Release the Epstein files
He’s gonna have homeless people “disappeared”. Like their lives weren’t shit enough already. He’s gotta get disappeared himself. I’m still waiting to wake up from this nightmare.
##pedo rapist is sicking poors on homless to distract themm
How detached you have to be to think this should just do it.
Another distraction from the child rapist.
Everything is a distraction from everything else. Cry about it.

The criminals, you don’t have to move out. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong.
Pretext to classify anyone living on the street who refuses to leave DC as a “criminal” and shuffle them off to work camps.
He literally already did that with an executive order like a week ago. Maybe you missed it because everyone was dismissing it as a distraction.
I caught it, this was just him doubling down.
While we all know the real criminal is in the White House.
“ya mean like all the convicted felons living in the White House in DC?”
Those Epstein files been released yet? Trump is a filthy rapist whose name is riddled throughout those files.
Release the files pedophile.
Let’s normalize calling them the Trump/Epstein Files
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Epstein files, are in fact, Trump/Epstein files, or as I’ve recently taken to calling them, Trump plus Epstein files.
Let’s get it going. It only took a couple of days for everyone to change from “trump fucks kids” to “trump rapes kids”
We can make this snowball.
Are you guys talking about the trump Epstein Files that Trump for hundreds of fbi employees to sift through to remove his name? Those trump Epstein Files? The ones he was told his name is in?
Those are the exact files we want
And then what? If the files contain damming evidence against Trump, what will happen? They aren’t going to remove him from office or prosecute him for his crimes
Still need to do it.
We’re going to round them up and concentrate them into a camp or something…
Yep.
That’s his plan.
He’s mentioned it a few times.
"We will then open up large parcels of inexpensive land, bring in doctors, psychiatrists, social workers, and drug rehab specialists and create tent cities where the homeless can be relocated and their problems identified,” Mr Trump said in the video. “But we’ll open up our cities again, make them livable and make them beautiful.”
Now he has begun to act toward those ends.

There is no evidence yet that the Trump administration plans to use federal resources to create facilities like the one used in New Orleans before the Super Bowl.
Ah, well, no, wrong, ShelterForce, see above public speech from Trump 2 years ago, or just look outside right now.

This Executive Order is rooted in outdated, racist myths about homelessness and will undoubtedly make homelessness worse.
Specifically, this order:
- Expands the use of police and institutionalization to respond to homelessness
- Prioritizes funding for states that treat homelessness as a crime and end housing-based solutions
- Cuts off funding for life-saving programs like harm-reduction.
Today’s executive order, combined with MAGA’s budget cuts for housing and healthcare, will increase the number of people forced to live in tents, in their cars, and on the streets.
My guesstimate is that within a year of Trump’s collapsing economy and cuts to all kinds of social programs (so, by Feb 2026), we’re looking at roughly 10 million homeless people.
You know, just about the population of entire Chicago metro area.
Was probably around 2-3 million back during Covid.
No, the PIT count numbers of several hundred thousand, they’re wrong.
Source is me, I used to be one of the people who contributed to that count, as a data analyst for a large nonprofit serving the homeless.
The PIT methodology is a complete joke, it only counts people in shelters or at known permanent encampments (which are all illegal now), you roughly have to multiply it by 3x to 5x if you want to match the demographics of all the people who call in, say they are or will soon become homeless, and then we either can’t help them because we don’t have the resources, or they don’t want to come to a shelter full of traumatized poor people and would rather live in a car (also illegal now) or hop from motel to motel untill they run out of money (2 or 3 months on average).
EDIT:
Trump/MAGA’s insane response to Covid unironically may have actually killed enough people, disproportionately in red areas, that it actually caused his election loss, and then subsequent Jan 6th coup attempt.
Now he’s gonna more directly kill millions of Americans, an order of magnitude more.
I’m pretty sure the end game for the Republicans is to balkanize the United States and issue fiefdoms to billionaires. I can’t believe I’m saying this seriously, but I anticipate States beginning to seceed within a decade. It wouldn’t surprise me if gerrymanderig states into single party enclaves is the beginning. I’ve lived in Pennsylvania my whole life but I suspect my California birth certificate may become the most valuable asset I own one day.
I hope you have relatives with land there. CA is way out of reach for our family. Housing costs are nuts last I looked.
Now he’s gonna more directly kill millions of Americans, an order of magnitude more.
And he’s just getting started. We’re not even 7 months in to this.
How about trying an executive order to install universal Medicare/Medicaid throughout every US state & territory so none of our neighbors have to move & our communities & nation can remain intact.

HAHA CONCENTRATION CAMPS ARE SO FUNNY!
I don’t think they’re joking

That DS9 2-parter is sounding more and more prophetic every day.
It was supposed to take place in 2024. Maybe they were a year or two off
