On July 25, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that makes it easier for towns and cities to clear homeless people from the streets. It directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to reverse rules that limit local governments’ abilities to relocate unhoused individuals, and redirects federal resources so that those in need are sent to rehabilitation and substance-abuse facilities. This order offers no real path to stable housing or support services—it only criminalizes poverty and illness.

A Bully’s Tactics, Not a Real Solution

This move is pure showmanship by a cruel, mentally fragile bully. Instead of addressing rising housing costs, mental-health shortages, and addiction, it punishes the most vulnerable people in our society. It’s a heavy-handed tactic to shock the public and stir fear, with zero real plan to end homelessness.

Thirty-Four Felonies and Counting

Remember, this is a man recently convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a hush-money scheme—making him the first former president ever jailed on criminal convictions. And if you count the mounting evidence tying his name to the Jeffrey Epstein files, you could call this his 35th stain. He’s built his empire on lies and abuse of power.

Epstein Files and the Art of Distraction

This order’s timing isn’t an accident. Just days after the Wall Street Journal revealed President Trump was told his name appears in Epstein’s investigative files, he signs a policy to sweep human beings out of view. It’s a transparent attempt to get headlines talking about homeless camps instead of creepy connections and unanswered questions about sex trafficking.

Compassion Over Cruelty

The real solution to homelessness lies in affordable housing, accessible mental-health care, and community support—not jail cells and forced treatment. We deserve leaders who show compassion, not bullies who exploit suffering for cover-ups. It’s time to demand policies that treat people with dignity, not punish them for being poor.
