I'll retire to Bedlam!

Trump on homelessness in CA: "They're going to ruin those cities ... one of the things we're very upset about & angry about is we're paying a lot of money to LA to build their subway system, & yet you have tents all over ... we're not going to lose cities like LA, SF, & others." pic.twitter.com/hj7L2GrGjF

Because if it isn't, he has to give all that money back to the Pentagon.

As for the homeless:  when did American citizens become part of the "invading horde" that threatens to destroy our American way of life?  Are the poor the new "fear of a brown planet" victims?  Are they to be removed or caged the way he removed and caged asylum seekers?

And WTF is the connection between El "A" building a subway system, and homeless people?  We have federally funded freeways and homeless people in Houston.  Is Houston next?  (Answer:  no, obviously, because the problem is California not voting for Trump.)  See?

“It’s a terrible situation that’s in Los Angeles and in San Francisco,” Trump, who is currently fighting California to reduce state fuel efficiency standards, told reporters on Air Force One. “And we’re going to be giving San Francisco—they’re in total violation—we’re going to be giving them a notice very soon.” Trump didn’t give any indication of where he got his information, but San Francisco Mayor London Breed said in a statement that the sewer system functions effectively, keeping waste from making it to the Bay or the Pacific Ocean. “In San Francisco we are focused on advancing solutions to meet the challenges on our streets, not throwing off ridiculous assertions as we board an airplane to leave the state,” Breed said.

The environmental angle seems to be the latest attempt by Trump to paint America’s diverse, liberal-leaning cities as decrepit and dysfunctional. In typical Trump fashion, the attack uses something that his opponents hold dear—in this case environmental protection—and then affixes it to something unrelated in an attempt to stir up controversy and confusion. The cherry on top is Trump’s roping in the Environmental Protection Agency—which has actively worked to undermine environmental protection under the Trump administration—to sanction a city run by people who disagree with his politics and policies. “The EPA usually sends such notices to companies, not cities,” the Wall Street Journal notes. “In 2015, the EPA sent a notice to Volkswagen AG charging the auto maker with rigging their cars to pass emissions tests.”

“They have to clean it up,” Trump said. “We can’t have our cities going to hell.” Spoken like someone expressing true concern for the plight of homeless people and the environment around them, not at all like your racist uncle. 

Despite the election in 2018, where Democrats pretty much swept the board, Houston is still not identified as a "liberal city."  Unlike, say, every major city in California is; at least to Trump.
