Trump Campaign Unveils Homeless Plan, Ban on 'Urban Camping'
Former President Donald Trump unveiled his strategy for dealing with big-city homelessness — promising if elected he will ban "urban camping," and suggesting the effort could be financed by diverting money from Ukraine's battle against Russia.

The agenda for issues related to homelessness, mental illness, and drug addiction was posted by the Trump campaign site Make America Great Again — and in a video speech from the former president posted Monday on Rumble.

"Our first consideration should be the rights and safety of the hardworking, law-abiding citizens who make our society function," Trump said. "When I am back in the White House, we will use every tool, lever, and authority to get the homeless off our streets. We want to take care of them, but they have to be off our streets."

"There is nothing compassionate about letting these individuals live in filth and squalor rather than getting them the help that they need," he continued. "We need professionals to help them. For a small fraction of what we spend upon Ukraine, we could take care of every homeless veteran in America.

"Our veterans are being treated horribly. Likewise, with all the money we will save by ending mass unskilled migration, we will have a huge dividend to address this crisis in our own country."

"Under my strategy, working with states, we will BAN urban camping wherever possible," he said.

According to the Trump campaign, the former president, if returned to the White House in 2024, would "open large parcels of inexpensive land, bring in doctors, psychiatrists, social workers, and drug rehab specialists, and create tent cities where the homeless can be relocated and their problems identified" — and "bring back mental institutions to house and rehabilitate" the "severely mentally ill or dangerously deranged."

In his video, Trump declared "this strategy will be far better and also far less expensive than spending vast sums of taxpayer money to house the homeless in luxury hotels without addressing their underlying issue."

"This is how I will end the scourge of homelessness and make our cities clean, and safe, and beautiful once again," he vowed.

Benevolent dictator.

I do not recall him doing this in 2016-2020....did it just slip his mind?
He didn't have Ukraine to deal with, he should have been able to get all those homeless veterans into the kind of treatment they needed then. Why didn't he?

Your question reveals the insincerity of the proposal. When he had the chance, he chose to call them suckers and losers.

We had a right-aligned poster who similarly suggested kicking their bum asses into the badlands.

Yup; they get to vote.

However any filtering system I can imagine is corruptible; therapy worse than disease.

We had another poster suggest requiring prospective voters to be tested for mental capacity. Someone did not think it through; on reflection it was a shockingly illiberal proposal.

At least locally, homeless camps became an issue in 2020 or so. The problem started under Trump with covid, but has persisted and grown quite a bit. It is the major issue that is likely going to decide the mayoral race for denver. Everyone is furious, if a republican ran on some sort of viable solution a lot of people would be crossing the aisle. Luckily they can't or won't.

Worth noting is homeless vets aren't the issue, nor is it people down on their luck. People are mad that junkies living in tents/RVs are stealing everything that isn't bolted down and just trashing everywhere. Not sure how to reframe the conversation, but that is who the people that say "fuck the homeless" are talking about. The homeless advocacy groups typically are talking about homeless vets, people fleeing domestic abuse, temporarily down on their luck people, people priced out due to increased cost of living. These two groups are colliding in a way that is turning the public against the left. The homeless advocates behave like the gun nuts. When the conversation occurs its people saying they are tired of their bikes/catalytic converters getting stolen/constant open hard drug use/needles on playgrounds/etc.; the homeless advocates then call everyone Hitler and cite studies about situations that aren't what group A is talking about. This of course involves increasing the funding for whatever advocacy agency; can't say I'm a fan of those organizations, they don't seem interested in actually solving the issue. Anywho, it's a major issue in all cities, but an interesting wedge in blue cities.

That is bad for US / saudi relations, bad for oil negotiations, bad for the US in general...trump is a wyrmtongue piece of shit, and his kids are just the fucking same. They'll be talking shit to the saudis the entire time, trying to sour relations between them and the US, so they can play things to their personal profit.
Well, i hope they can finish their business with trump tied up in court, and then house arrest for the rest of his life...

Trump questions why he should participate in GOP primary debates
Former President Trump on Tuesday raised the prospect of skipping the two Republican White House primary debates that have been announced thus far, suggesting he should not have to subject himself to such scrutiny given his commanding lead in the polls.

“I see that everybody is talking about the Republican Debates, but nobody got my approval, or the approval of the Trump Campaign, before announcing them,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “When you’re leading by seemingly insurmountable numbers, and you have hostile Networks with angry, TRUMP & MAGA hating anchors asking the ‘questions,’ why subject yourself to being libeled and abused?”

Trump also took issue with plans to hold the second planned GOP debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, noting that Fred Ryan, publisher of The Washington Post, is chairman of the board of trustees at the Reagan library.

The first GOP primary debate is set for August in Milwaukee. The date of the second has not yet been announced.
It has become commonplace for Trump to threaten to skip debates dating back to his time as a candidate for the Republican nomination during the 2016 primary.

He threatened to skip a primary debate in early 2016 because he felt then-Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly would not treat him fairly. Kelly at an earlier debate had pressed Trump on his previous derogatory comments about women.

In March 2016, Trump threatened to skip a CNN town hall interview, citing his perception that the network had treated him unfairly.
In 2019, Trump suggested he may skip the presidential debates the following year if they were hosted by Fox News as he took issue with the network’s coverage.

And in the lead up to the 2020 debates between Trump and Biden, Trump repeatedly raised the prospect of boycotting the debates over issues with the nonpartisan Presidential Debate Commission.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) has not yet laid out the criteria for participating in this summer’s primary debates, though Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has said those who wish to participate will have to agree to a pledge to support the eventual nominee, something Trump did not do during the 2016 primary.

The potential for 2024 general election debates remains in question: The RNC last year voted to withdraw from the Commission on Presidential Debates, accusing the group that has run the debates since 1988 of bias against its candidates.

Trump is one of several declared candidates in the GOP race, including former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and conservative entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. Others, such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and former Vice President Mike Pence, are expected to decide whether to run for president in the coming weeks.

Donald isn't going to show up and big Joe can't break legs in court, it will be a bigly award by the jury to Carrol and she won't settle for cash. Donald won't lose a single vote over it, or for shooting someone on 5th Avenue, shit he tried to murder Uncle Sam FFS!

If he doesn't have the self control to keep his smart ass comments to himself during one of the first trial sessions of the hundreds he's going to be sitting through over the next couple of years, there is no way he's going to make it the whole way...the only question is how long will he make it, and what will the circumstances be? Will trump drive him away, with stupid demands and insane, inane questions? Will his growing irritation with his client erode his self control until he snaps at the wrong judge on the right day? Will he just fuck up and say the quiet part loud and the loud part quiet in frustration?...
And the sad thing to me is that i'm not enjoying this shit anymore...i just want it to be over, and all the criminals to be locked up so the rest of us can start fixing all their fuckups, and making sure they can't do the same shit again.
