News Alert! News Alert! This just in: Donald Trump has discovered homelessness in America.
News Update! News Update! Donald Trump says he has the solution to homelessness in America, points out that he's already ended homelessness in Washington, D.C.
Once again, we can thank Fox News for its in-depth reporting, going deep into the furrows of Trump's mind to dig out this startling presidential insight and achievement.
In a June interview by Fox TV sparklie Tucker Carlson, the president of the United States articulated his concern about so many Americans' now living on the streets. Homelessness is "a phenomenon that started two years ago," Trump explained to the clueless Carlson, calling the problem "sad." Our billionaire president showed his usual grasp of history and social awareness by adding, "We never had this in our lives before in this country."
Oddly, the Fox Man let this go without questioning it. Maybe he was dazzled by Trump's next observation, analyzing why people live in the street: "Perhaps they like living that way," posited our presidential son of privilege.
Whatever. The Donald proceeded to declare that it's intolerable to have such homelessness in our rich country not because so many poor people are suffering, but because business-people and shoppers face the indignity of having to walk past the homeless to get to their offices, banks, cafes, etc. As Tucker beamed credulously, Trump proceeded to offer his solution: simply outlaw those people from cluttering our sidewalks and streets. Then, The Donald royally declared that he "may intercede ... to get that whole thing cleaned up."
Indeed, he claims he's tidied up homelessness before: "I had a situation when I first became president. We had certain areas of Washington, D.C, where (homelessness) was starting to happen. I ended it very quickly. I said, 'You can't do that.'" After all, Trump explained to the obtuse Fox interviewer, "When you have leaders of the world coming to see the president ... they can't be looking at that."
It's one thing to have a president who thinks "Out of sight; out of mind" should be an actual public policy. It's another thing to have a president who's clearly out of his mind.
