Trump: Homelessness started two years ago

[Morphine Prince 109,712]

During his interview with President Trump that aired on Monday night on Fox News, Tucker Carlson got the president to weigh in on a topic that he and other Fox News hosts have devoted copious amounts of airtime to lately—homelessness in largely Democratic-run cities and states.

And, according to Trump, the homeless problem is a rather recent phenomenon.

Noting that they were in Japan during the president’s visit to the G20 summit, Carlson contrasted the cleanliness of their metro areas to large American cities, adding that “there is no graffiti” or people “going to the bathroom on the streets” in Japan.

After the president mildly protested that only “some of our cities” are like that, the Fox News star said that New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles all “have a major problem with filth.”

“Why is that?” Carlson wondered aloud.

“It’s a phenomenon that started 2 years ago,” Trump declared. “It’s disgraceful. I'm going to maybe—I am looking at it very seriously.”

After seemingly claiming homelessness in America only arose 24 months ago, the president went on to suggest that police officers are getting sick simply by walking near homeless people—likely referencing reports that some Los Angeles police officers have shown signs of typhoid fever. The officers all work in a precinct that was recently fined for unsanitary working conditions.

“You can’t have what’s happening—where police officers are getting sick just by walking the beat,” he exclaimed. “I mean, they’re getting actually very sick, where people are getting sick, where the people living there are living in hell, too."

While stating that mental illness is part of the reason for homelessness, Trump went on to blame the “liberal establishment” for exacerbating the problem before claiming he “ended it very quickly” in Washington, D.C. when he became president. Homelessness has been falling in D.C. steadily for the past three years.

Trump- “We're looking at it very seriously... We may do something to clean the whole thing up.”

 

How long before they start rounding up the homeless and putting them in camps?

[LateToCult 41,975]

Nope. The west coast can confirm it’s been an issue for much longer.

So, does he not remember the Great Depression? It started in the US. Crazy how he doesn't even know history.

What a dumb f***. How can you have been alive 70+ years and think this only became an issue two years ago. Maybe he  learned about the severity of it two years ago - since he's so out of touch with anything that goes on outside of his own skull 

I'm sure he has no sense of the common man's plight or how easy it would be for most Americans to lose their home after 1 or 2 paychecks of no pay.

...does he think he controls what goes on in DC?...Like, if homelessness is down there it isn't for anything he's done
