Impulsive golfer threatens mass arrests and deportations:
In a social media post on Sunday, Donald Trump has demanded homeless residents of Washington DC leave the country’s capital or face eviction, and again promised to use federal officers to jail criminals, even though violent crime in the city was at a 30-year low when he took office in January.
“The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform Sunday morning, shortly after being driven from the White House to his golf club in Virginia. “We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital.”
The post was illustrated with four photographs, all apparently taken from the president’s motorcade along the route from the White House to his golf course. Two of the images showed a total of 10 tents pitched on the grass along a highway on-ramp just over a mile from the White House.
Dude sees tents from his limo, dude pitches fit.
Trump’s post promoted a previously announced news conference on Monday, which he has promised, “will, essentially, stop violent crime” in the capital district, without explaining how. In a subsequent post, he said that the news conference at 10am Monday, “will not only involve ending the Crime, Murder, and Death in our Nation’s Capital, but will also be about Cleanliness”.
Ok there’s an idea. Can we put him in charge of washing things? That would keep him busy.
Asked by Reuters, the White House declined to explain what legal authority Trump would use to evict people from Washington. The president controls only federal land and buildings in the city.
Well yes but we know that doesn’t actually matter. He does whatever he wants.
I hope he personally experiences homelessness.
I have no idea how he can manage to think that an announcement on his personal social site constitutes an official announcement of any kind, least of all to people who are homeless and therefore unlikely to have access to it.
But, tigger, he already thanked them for their attention to this matter.
He thinks every word that comes out of his mouth, his fingers, or anywhere else, is Holy Writ (or should that be HOLY WRIT?). He uses social media for everything, because he doesn’t have the patience to do it the way it is supposed to be done, and he doesn’t like the big words often present in formal documents. He said it, he believes it, that’s it. Everyone must do as they are told.
(Sort of like trans, isn’t it?)
If he restricted his masked goon activity to preying on the homeless he’d be a lot more popular.
He’s going to end death? Good luck with that one, mate.
