Trump wants to evict homeless from Washington

Trump is planning to hold a press conference on Monday to "stop violent crime in Washington, D.C." It was not clear whether he would announce more details about his eviction plan then.

Trump's Truth Social post included pictures of tents and D.C. streets with some garbage on them. "I’m going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before," he said.

According to the Community Partnership, an organization working to reduce homelessness in D.C., on any given night there are 3,782 single persons experiencing homelessness in the city of about 700,000 people.

Most of the homeless individuals are in emergency shelters or transitional housing. About 800 are considered unsheltered or "on the street," the organization says.

A White House official said on Friday that more federal law enforcement officers were being deployed in the city following a violent attack on a young Trump administration staffer that angered the president.

Alleged crimes investigated by federal agents on Friday night included "multiple persons carrying a pistol without license," motorists driving on suspended licenses, and dirt bike riding, according to a White House official on Sunday. The official said 450 federal law enforcement officers were deployed across the city on Saturday.

The Democratic mayor of Washington, D.C., Muriel Bowser, said on Sunday the capital was "not experiencing a crime spike."

"It is true that we had a terrible spike in crime in 2023, but this is not 2023," Bowser said on MSNBC’s The Weekend. "We have spent over the last two years driving down violent crime in this city, driving it down to a 30-year low."

The city's police department reports that violent crime in the first seven months of 2025 was down by 26% in D.C. compared with last year while overall crime was down about 7%.

Bowser said Trump is "very aware" of the city's work with federal law enforcement after meeting with Trump several weeks ago in the Oval Office.

The U.S. Congress has control of D.C.'s budget after the district was established in 1790 with land from neighboring Virginia and Maryland, but resident voters elect a mayor and city council.

For Trump to take over the city, Congress likely would have to pass a law revoking the law that established local elected leadership, which Trump would have to sign.

Bowser on Sunday noted the president's ability to call up the National Guard if he wanted, a tactic the administration used recently in Los Angeles after immigration protests over the objections of local officials.

Legal authority? Who’s holding him to any legal authority these days?

Trump’s policies remind me of Kim Kardashians face. The reality of the situation doesn’t matter - what matters is the perception of reality - in print or on television. It doesn’t matter that crime is low - it just matters like he’s cracking down on crime to his supporters.

"I’m going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before," he said."

If you want to make DC safe, take your convicted felon/armed insurrectionist ass out of DC SAP. And if you want to make it beautiful again, take your ex-hooker wife with you.

He could start by killing Mike Johnson.

Send them all to Mar-o-Lago.

he can put a big dog kennel on the rose garden patio and house the prisoners there.

Make it stop!

He's becoming like the Romanov Czars of Russia.

They didn't want to see the riff-raff and the poor, when they walked down the streets.

So the streets had to be cleared of them, so that the Romanovs would only see "beautiful things."

And we all know what happened to the Romanovs, in the end.

I'll give you three guesses as to the gender and race of the current Washington, DC police chief.

Actually, you'll nail it in one. Because Trump/MAGA.

She's very low IQ.

Step 1: Erase Black History

Step 2: Deport all of the farm workers

Step 3: "Relocate" all of the "urban" homeless people

So many of the people in the area, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them.

Ruh-roh, he's already back in the White House on a Sunday. That usually means something big is going to happen this week.

His ICE Gestapo will round them up and send them to the concentration camps in Florida. Who will be next? Trans people, gays, black people, or Democrats?

Remember that his tax cuts bill funded one thing-a huge increase in the ICE budget.

R16, every dictator needs two armies: one to fight wars and one to fight his own citizens. Now Trump has both.

Distraction from Epstein. See also meeting with Putin.

According to author/biographer Michael Wolff there are Jeffrey Epstein bank records of two transfers totaling over $100M that involve Russia.

Hasn’t DC always been a rougher city? Why is he suddenly whining about it now?

[quote] Why is he suddenly whining about it now?

"cities exempt from federal and state laws. Instead, the cities would function as mini-dictatorships, where the CEO of each town runs everything, and the people who live and work there are subject to the boss's whims. It would be like being an employee of a controlling company, except you don't clock out at the end of the day or have a life — or rights — outside of what the boss allows you.

"These are going to be cities without democracy," journalist Gil Duran told Wired. He's spent years documenting how the Silicon Valley elite — along with politicians like Vice President JD Vance — have pushed the idea that democracy should be ended and replaced with governments run by all-powerful businessmen. "These are going to be cities where the owners of the city, the corporations, the billionaires have all the power and everyone else has no power." In the tech bro world Elon Musk comes from, the definition of "freedom" is that rich people get to treat everyone else however they like, without that pesky government coming in to protect people's safety, autonomy or civil rights"

You know what will happen once he rounds people up

I made this prediction this prediction after the election. Homeless people , vagrants, panhandlers, etc were going to be rounded up and vanish. Locals will celebrate this. The courts will always support him. But what about when they start rounding up ‘trouble-makers’, aka- vocal anti -trump protesters or Homosexuals? This is not going to end well for us.

^you’re

Trump needs to be evicted from Washington. This insane fucker is hazardous to the Americans health.

Why was JizzLayne moved to summer camp?

R24 is right.

It won't be Black people. Black people will never return to conditions of servitude. Most of the white animus towards Black people has been due to our changed position in society. We are no longer chaffeurs, butlers, valets, porters, custodians, elevator operators, shoe shine boys, etc. White people really resent that Blacks can now have union jobs, or be white collar professionals, or multi-millionaire athletes (or President). They'd prefer Blacks be marginally employed or unemployed rather than gainfully employed. Amerikkka never intended to make space for Black people outside of servitude. But it's too late in the day now...

Meaning what? He was working on behalf of the Israeli government and had contacts all over the world (even though he had no education).

R29 I think you have entire generations of white people who don’t relate to black people as servants but as thugs and trouble makers. Blacks as a servant class had really been replaced by Latinos by the 80s. So I am not exactly sure who they thought would replace undocumented workers in the fields. Trump just wanted a massive show of force and didn’t really think about the repercussions.

I love how Trump has allows said the important part out loud but no one believes him. Didn’t he say he wanted guys loyal to him like Hitler had? He fucking said that shit. In what world would we ever think Jan 6 rioters were just auditioning for the new SS?

^has always said…

Why do you think that is R31?

Anyone cheering this better not complain when political dissidents get rounded up next.

I really don’t know r33, because white people are lazy self-centered human beings? I’m not sure. You tell me.

R13 this woman is a cunt. Arresting and deporting latin Americans is really about blacks. M'kay. Doesn't say ANYTHING about the injustice served on Latin Americans.

Or even worse...President, Vice President, four star generals, senators, congressmen, governors, mayors, judges, police chiefs, elite university presidents, corporate CEOs, doctors, lawyers, airplane pilots, etc. The "anti-DEI" movement is the most virulent anti-Black assault on upwardly mobility of Blacks since Reconstruction. Trump has only purged the federal government of Black people, to replace then with completely unqualified, inept white people.

White people prefer Black 'thugs' and 'troublemakers' to Blacks who are prosperous and in positions of authority

CRIME IS DOWN

He has no handlers. No one can shut him up. He is now betraying his senility -- "it takes two to tango" -- well, not if one is a Russian aggressor and the other is the nation you hobbled for your own personal political advantage.

I just turned on the rv and heard him say "Russia is very large from the standpoint of land." WTF does that mean?

And so it begins...

Minor details...

Notice he's only talking about blue state cities. Are there no homeless in Miami, Dallas, or Oklahoma City? Why isn't he sending National Guard troops there?

Here's part of the answer, R43

DC crime is at a 30 year low. Don’t think he’s not coming for us gays.

R29, you speak as if any of this will be voluntary.

Does Trump have any actual solution to solving the homeless crisis, other than rounding them up and clearing them out?

R47 Has any politician ever done much more than that for the homeless?

It's a shell game. They move the homeless from one part of town to another, and pretend they did something useful.
