In reply to the discussion: Trump demands homeless 'immediately' move out of Washington DC to make nation's capital 'more beautiful' [View all]customerserviceguy
(25,347 posts)3. I think I know what's possibly going on here
Back when the Chinese leader Xi came to San Francisco, a mighty effort was made to clean up the homeless from the streets. Some of my Faux-Snooze watching acquaintances commented, "If they can clean up San Francisco for a commie leader, why can't they keep it cleaned up all the time?"
No doubt, Trump has seen this "reasoning". There's one city that he has the power to possibly control, and he's going to use D. C. as an example of sorts.
