I always thought the US took care of the needy but I was wrong unless it is the first time that one gets to hear this Loks like he is doing things to draw attention and draw people away form his sexual misconduct.

Federal funding supports programs which provide resources for shelter, healthcare, and other services. However, the number of homeless people has been increasing, and those services do not seem to be effective to take care of the problem. Trump is not the first, the D.C. Mayor Bowser publicly stated a goal to make homelessness "rare" in D.C.

They can make them homeless by providing th4em shelter. He just want them to leave. Did the DC Mayor had the same thoughts too?

@allknowing Yes, the DC Mayor wanted to move them, because he knows they have not enough shelters in DC. When I was there (years ago) there were homeless at every corner of the streets.

It does sound like you’re referring to a situation where public actions might be serving as a distraction from personal controversies. While the U.S. does have programs to support the needy, the extent and effectiveness of that help can vary widely depending on policy priorities, political climate, and individual states’ approaches. In this case, it may also be that because D.C. is the nation’s capital, there’s an extra push to “clean it up” for the sake of image. That said, it’s just as important to ensure these efforts are carried out in the most humane and respectful way possible, so that improving the city’s appearance doesn’t come at the expense of human dignity. Sometimes, high-profile gestures—especially when timed alongside scandals—can feel less about genuine aid and more about shifting the public conversation.

Trump's statement that the homeless should leave Washington has no legal standing if those homeless are legal redisents. I agree Washington needs a cleaner place but they should offer alternative accomodation for othe homeless elsewhere. Anyway whatever he does Trump cannot get away from his Sexcual misconduct. .

@allknowing Maybe he would be able to succed in making a distraction if he would do something positive and act on it.

I just hope that they have the budget to provide decent places for these needy ones.

If they are legally staying there then they must be provided with shelter.

I watched a youtube video about the real story of Squid Games. I just hope Trump doesn't do what happened there here.
