Donald Trump has demanded that the homeless “immediately” move out of Washington, D.C. to make the nation’s capital “more beautiful.”

Trump reiterated his Saturday announcement that he’s set to hold a press conference at the White House on Monday, adding on Truth Social on Sunday that “I’m going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before.”

“The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY,” he continued. “We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital. The Criminals, you don’t have to move out. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong.”

    I’m pretty sure the end game for the Republicans is to balkanize the United States and issue fiefdoms to billionaires. I can’t believe I’m saying this seriously, but I anticipate States beginning to seceed within a decade. It wouldn’t surprise me if gerrymanderig states into single party enclaves is the beginning. I’ve lived in Pennsylvania my whole life but I suspect my California birth certificate may become the most valuable asset I own one day.

      I hope you have relatives with land there. CA is way out of reach for our family. Housing costs are nuts last I looked.

        Well I do still have plenty of distant family in CA, but my guess is that by the time battle lines are drawn there will be relocation incentives. I’m betting that a California birth certificate will be enough to get me on the list, at least. When borders start closing, states will get desperate to pad their population numbers. It will be an awful chapter in American history. The next ten years will make or break us as a nation.
