Trump Plots Crackdown After Seeing Homeless People on the Road to His Golf Course (The Daily Beast)

Donald Trump vowed a hardline crackdown on homeless people living in Washington, D.C., after seeing people camping out on the route to his golf course, according to a report.

The president demanded that homeless people leave the capital “immediately” in a Sunday post on Truth Social while sharing images of tents and homeless people in the capital. The images Trump shared were apparently taken from his motorcade while driving from the White House to Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, according to The Guardian.

One of the images shared by Trump showed several tents pitched on grass along a highway on-ramp around one mile away from the White House. Another appears to show a person sleeping in front of the American Institute of Pharmacy Building on Constitution Avenue.

Speaking to Politico’s Playbook, a White House official said Trump’s clampdown on D.C. stems from the president’s unhappiness at the overall cleanliness of the city.

Trump Planned D.C. Takeover Because He Hated Route to His Golf Course (The New Republic)

President Trump’s takeover of Washington, D.C., was directly inspired by the homeless people he saw from his motorcade window on the way to his golf course.

“We’re having a News Conference tomorrow in the White House. I’m going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before. The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital,” Trump wrote Sunday on Truth Social, attaching four pictures to his post.

Two of the photos showed a total of about 10 tents on the side of the road near a highway ramp The Guardian identified as about a mile from the White House. One picture showed a person sleeping on the steps of the American Institute of Pharmacy Building on Constitution Avenue. And another was a picture of some trash in the E Street Expressway by the Kennedy Center.
