Trump Vows To Criminalize Homelessness If Elected

From the far-right Washington Times:

Former President Trump has a plan to fix the homeless problem, saying he will work with states to outlaw urban camping and give street people the choice between going to rehab in tent cities or face jail time.

“We want to take care of them, but they have to be off our streets,” Mr. Trump said in a video message released Tuesday. “There is nothing compassionate about letting these individuals live in filth and squalor rather than getting them the help they need. We need professionals to help them.”

Mr. Trump said he plans to relocate the homeless to tent cities where they can get the help they need from health care workers to get them back on their feet or into mental institutions.
