The President can really reach out to a lot of the homeless Vets by using the the administration part of the military and by using the admin of the VA.
The rest of the homeless can only be reached by state and local government. The President really has no way to reach out to them.

Not only are the homeless back , it’s only going to be a little while before we hear about unemployment and inflation as well. They will still be lied about but on the more side rather than less side of the truth. They will blame it on Trumpanomics. A title that will disappear after it starts working
