So, now Trump want to jail the homeless in DC?

If they don’t go to a homeless shelter or any other community shelter, get help from the government to get back on their feet? They could face a fine or jail?

Oh so many issues with this theory policy?

One, most of them are homeless because or Trump’s lousy policies from his first attempt to destroy our economy!

Two, DOGE closed down many of those shelters!

And three, the Big Blunder Bill stole the money to help them out poverty!

Oh and one more thing, what about of homeless camps in GOBers cities?

Hypocrisy is most evident and prevalent among their plans!

Arrested "hobos" for vagrancy and put them in jail (if they didn't haul them out on a rail first).

These are the people Woody Guthrie sang about and sang to. (Woody said that Jesus was the first socialist.)
