While in California Thursday, President Trump blamed Democrats for homelessness, and the homeless for pollution
Where some see human tragedy, our president sees pollution. Photo: Mason Trinca/The Washington Post/Getty Images The mutual acrimony between Donald Trump and America’s largest state escalated during his fundraising trip to California this week . As he prepared to board Air Force One to leave the state, he offered this obnoxious little stink bomb of a parting shot, NBC News reports:
Trump’s “environmental, very environmental” emphasis is ironic since he signaled while visiting California that he will, as expected, trigger a legal battle to end the state’s power to impose tough emissions standards on automobiles. But his remarks did put an appropriately crude exclamation point on his administration’s recent unfriendly interest in California’s homelessness problem.
[A]s the president jetted off to the Bay Area on Tuesday for a fund-raiser, he took a moment with reporters on Air Force One to fulminate against “people living in our best highways, our best streets, our best entrances to buildings …”For all of his talk of homelessness, Mr. Trump indicated to reporters that his sympathies rested with the taxpayers, rich immigrants and business leaders forced to wade through California’s urban detritus.
State Sen. Scott Wiener of San Francisco, who has made a name for himself arguing for the reduction of local zoning rules, said he disagreed with the Trump administration’s apparent pitch to cut back on all regulations and allow for more building of all types everywhere.
