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 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.
“ya mean like all the convicted felons living in the White House in DC?”
While we all know the real criminal is in the White House.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Another distraction from the child rapist.
Everything is a distraction from everything else. Cry about it.

I know of one certain house that has plenty of room that could be used to shelter The People. The current occupant is a squatter who has no respect for the rule of law and should be evicted any day now.
You’re talking about all the megachurches in my city
The people demand traitor pedophiles immediately leave Washington DC
Calling it now, this administration is going to spend the next four years militarizing the Capital and pockets of cities around the country so he can celebrate his third inauguration in his big beautiful ballroom.
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.
Well I do still have plenty of distant family in CA, but my guess is that by the time battle lines are drawn there will be relocation incentives. I’m betting that a California birth certificate will be enough to get me on the list, at least. When borders start closing, states will get desperate to pad their population numbers. It will be an awful chapter in American history. The next ten years will make or break us as a nation.
10m is low
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.
Sanctuary districts
HAHA CONCENTRATION CAMPS ARE SO FUNNY!
Release the Epstein files
What fucking asshole. Plain and simple
The best thing to do to make DC more beautiful would be to permanently remove a certain bloated orange eyesore.
Every day I hope the McDonalds finally gets to his heart and every day I’m disappointed.
And go where, may I ask?
Perhaps to go track down the Epstein files?
Sadly probably bus them to a blue city.
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“.
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.
Conservatives don’t like what they don’t understand. Much easier to get mad at the problem than to figure out how to solve it
The fuck does he care, he’s never there.
Sadism

How detached you have to be to think this should just do it.
