President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning directed at the homeless in Washington, D.C., via his social media platform, Truth Social. Trump declared his plan to transform the capital into a "safer and more beautiful" place by removing the homeless population and cracking down on crime, with the anticipated deployment of the National Guard.

 

In his post, Trump included images of tent encampments, insisting, “The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY.” He assured displaced individuals that alternative accommodation would be available, albeit far from the city center. To criminals, Trump promised swift justice, likening the process to his prior immigration policies: "We went from millions pouring in, to ZERO... This will be easier."

 

Emphasizing toughness, Trump stated, “There will be no ‘MR. NICE GUY.’ We want our Capital BACK,” calling for immediate attention to his demands. His criticism of D.C. as one of the world’s most perilous cities underpins his strategy to reduce violent crime across the nation.

Recently, Trump suggested federal oversight of D.C.'s police force and reinforced law enforcement with National Guard troops. This proposal comes in light of violent incidents, such as an attempted carjacking involving Edward Coristine, a former government worker. Trump referenced this case to illustrate the urgency of enhancing security measures.

 

Trump’s comments are supported by Reuters journalist Idrees Ali’s report on the U.S. military's readiness to activate hundreds of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. Trump described the crime situation as "out of control," blaming "thugs" and "gang members" for indiscriminate violence against residents.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt communicated with Fox News regarding the increased presence of federal law enforcement aimed at protecting D.C. civilians. She emphasized that there would be no safe havens for violent criminals. Leavitt expressed confidence in restoring D.C.’s reputation as an exceptional city, liberated from the clutches of persistent violent crime.

 

 

Trumps Truth Social Post:

 

Crime in Washington, D.C., is totally out of control. Local “youths” and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16-years-old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released. They are not afraid of Law Enforcement because they know nothing ever happens to them, but it’s going to happen now! The Law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these “minors” as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14. The most recent victim was beaten mercilessly by local thugs. Washington, D.C., must be safe, clean, and beautiful for all Americans and, importantly, for the World to see. If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they’re not going to get away with it anymore. Perhaps it should have been done a long time ago, then this incredible young man, and so many others, would not have had to go through the horrors of Violent Crime. If this continues, I am going to exert my powers, and FEDERALIZE this City. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Homeless to be flown straight to LA I imagine.

 

Overall violent crime dropped 35% in 2024 compared to 2023 — the lowest level in over 30 years........someone is due for the sack putting out those figures

 

 

 

I'm guessing the golden scissors are for trimming  down the rough.......what am I thinking?......like his ball ever stays in the rough.

Is removing the homeless from DC to other states solving the homeless problem. Don't need to be an Einstein to read his mind which state he will shaft the homeless. Theatrics with no real solution.  

DC is Sanctuary! Currently there is a war on Sanctuary policies! 

 This is what Dem Democracy looks like, tent cities in the Nations Capital.

I have to admit, i was there once on a business trip. I drove my rental to the White House as any tourist would. I saw it, then not two blocks headed away, I started praying my car didn't break down. It was a shameful embarassment, looking like a 3rd world country, and I'm not being hyperbolic in this statement.

A bit like the **** hole countries that nobody actually knows where they are in Africa? (Trump!)

One decade of abuse.

 

"Mayor Bowser has served her hometown in elected office since 2004 as Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner (2004-2006), Member of the DC Council (2007-2015) and now Mayor since 2015. On November 8, she became only the second person elected three times as mayor of Washington, DC. She is the first African American woman to be elected to three, four-year terms as mayor of an American city".

For all you Trump Haters !

You lost because your cabal went to Far-------Left.

 Federal laws have been abused/ turned upside down.

Can't watch if in Thailand.

Of course, this doesn't address the REAL problem - why are they homeless in the first place? Until that's fixed (and it COULD be done in the wealthiest country in the written history of the planet), this is nothing but shallow cruelty. Finland and Japan have been very successful, why can't the US?

 

Oh yeah - greed.

Trump is putting pressure on DC authorities to get their act together.

"Crime in Washington, D.C., is totally out of control.

Nothing in his Truth Social post about targetting the homeless.

"Former President Donald Trump..."  Not the first time we've seen this obvious error here on AN.

Also of interest is why there have been no articles on here about the Clintons being subpoenaed to testify to the congressional Epstein investigation. This had  biparisan support from the congressional committee.

Many cities in the US look like that now, as poverty levels continue to rise, and rents skyrocket out of control. Here's some photos of Los Angeles taken on a recent trip. 

 

By the way this is not particularly good optics for a multi-billionaire to be showing such an incredible lack of heart to the most unfortunate amongst us. 

 

 

Luck of the draw.

 

If Trump wasn''t the son of Fred, he'd likely be homeless.

 

He was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He got a massive monthly allowance from age 3 until daddy's death. Dad signed all of his bank loans when Trump was flailing and failing as a RE magnate and casino operator, declaring bankruptcy 6 times (something not afforded non-golden spoon kids.). Trump got an additional $412,000,000 when daddy died, and almost went belly up again, except he was saved from penury by Mark Burnett and his Game Show.

 

Trump would have been capable of maybe being a truck driver or pouring Slurpies at a highway 7-11, if not for his dad.

I visited Washington and I can't say I was struck by the homeless being a major issue.

 

Of course this was in 2004, so not all that recent. Have things changed so much?

Build more accommodation it needs

Trump is a real-estate mogul. Could he not just build a homeless shelter on one of his many lands? Or White House lawn if nothing else was available? I doubt these homeless people are particularly demanding regarding accommodation... they are not dinghy arrivals to UK...

Got much worse since 2004. Nothing has really change and the future don't look good either. Key reasons like affordable housing, social safety net and natural disasters are seen as woke and socialist by the right. Do not expect positive policies and programs for the common people. The upper 10% will be pampered with favorable policies like tax cuts.

Your friends on the lefts mayor Bowser didnt start her regime until 2015 !Since than it reeks hell hole.

I’m not so sure this has much to do with the homeless and more to do with having troops in place in case he feels he needs to stop elections or something similar.

21 years is an eternity. 

Society has failed when we allow this kind of problem to grow like it has.
