President Trump on Saturday went after New York and California over homelessness, saying the states' governors should call him if they "can't handle" the issue.

"California and New York must do something about their TREMENDOUS Homeless problems. They are setting records!" he tweeted about the liberal states.

"If their Governors can’t handle the situation, which they should be able to do very easily, they must call and 'politely' ask for help. Would be so easy with competence!" the president continued.

Step 1: Trump needs to tell CA that to provide food and clothing to the homeless, Grumsome needs to stop the federal water lawsuit.

The "lack of affordable housing" line is a joke. These people could not make ANY mortgage or rent payment of any amount.

it's worse than that; if they get housing for free, they will quickly render it uninhabitable.

Sanitation related Diseases which had been largely wiped out in First-world countries a CENTURY AGO are reappearing in the leftist bum-infested shame cities.

Leftist politicians and their libtard followers need to be made to clean up the messes with their OWN hands to force the understanding into their tiny minds.

A national disgrace.

“:Homelessness has been an issue since the mental hospitals were emptied about 50 years ago.”

“reopen the state Mental Hospitals.”

Absolutely. The democrats closed them in the 1980’s to give the money to their bribers in ‘education’.

The sad reality is that the old institutions will never come back.

A tremendous increase in illegals combined with anti-growth building laws helped increase rents out of a lot of people’s range.

The problem with NYC homeless is that they’ve been sending them to NJ; the elites want to clear out their urban playground. They’ll use “congestion pricing” and high tolls to keep the little people out, but they need to purge the city of its underclass as well.

He’s trolling them because they are incompetent and misusing federal funds - and too many “Judges” will stand by the States/Cities if he tries to take the funding away.
You can bet that if they “politely ask” they will be given conditions where federal oversight is required to ensure assistance is used for the purpose stated....something they will not do and which allows him to keep trolling that they care more about protecting their image more than helping the homeless...
