‘We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital,’ president tells Washington’s homeless

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.”

    DC is a blue city. But if they ship them off to New York or Boston or Philly, at least they’ll get public healthcare and better services for the unhoused than are available in DC.

    Edit: but that’s not what’s happening; Trump proposes that the National Guard (now deployed to DC) simply “remove” the unhoused. I’d like to know what the fuck that means.

    It was one thing when Nazi governors were bussing the unhoused to cities that would actually care for them, but it’s quite another thing to deploy the fucking National Guard in an attempt to make the unhoused “disappear“.
