Trump II, the digital Caligula, announced his plans to micromanage Washington, D.C. by evicting the homeless, getting rid of the slums and flooding public areas with National Guard troops. Fox News cut away from Trump's press conference after about an hour, I assume, due to his self-aggrandizing rambling.
The move came after a DOUGEBAG (Department of Ungodly Greedy Executives Biased Against Government) staffer known as Big Balls was beaten by black teens at 3:00 am in an attempted car jacking. He must be an important staffer to warrant bringing out the National Guard at considerable federal expense. Wasn't DOUGEBAG supposed to save money?
A new report found that in just six months, Elon Musk's cost-cutting agency wasted more than $21 billion.It's not clear how much of that waste was due to Big Balls. That said, the price tag for Trump's D.C. takeover should be added to DOUGEBAG's running total cost to the American people.
There was a precipitating event that produced an impulsive response, but no actual emergency.
As for taking care of the homeless and emptying the slums, Americans should recall Trump's promise to feed Gazans through the new Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Both Israel and the U.S. are behind woeful efforts to feed innocent women and children in a war zone they cannot escape.
Trump now has control of the police department that came to the aid of the Capital Police on January 6, 2021. That, in itself, feels like a crime.
Update: Trump (who I nicknamed Pablum) said he would get rids of the slums, graffiti and potholes. Wow, those DC Metro Police do a lot. Sounds a bit like mission creep for a creep mission, led by the Insurrectionist in Chief.
Pablum's drive from the White House to his golf course cannot be marred by the homeless. I'm sure Trump knows the Bible passage regarding the Rich Man and Lazarus.
Update 8-13-25: Trump II may jail the homeless if they don't leave the rich man's gate. They also face being moved given Trump is "exploring strategies to relocate homeless individuals 'far from the capital.'" The man loves to rendition people.
