It's a lot more sinister than that.
He started with the immigrants, because there was a tenuous theory under which his personal police force was allowed to fuck them up and do whatever they want. Some little speedbumps aside, that worked out okay, no one stopped it. Now he's talking about federalizing the police force in one particular place, and moving on to the next target, who are citizens, American people, and where there's not even that vague theory that he's got a right to be throwing them in detention and letting them die of the natural conditions there.
If no one stops that, then it moves on to the next group.
Nobody was safe in Hitler’s Germany. You could do everything right and be slandered by the guy who thought you charged him too much, and now you’re a gay, and thus eligible for Dachau.
This is fascism.
Consider that the federal agencies are now demanding that state agencies provide information on all the people who receive benefits like SNAP, WIC, Housing assistance, HEAP, etc. Families who qualify for SNAP (foodstamps) also qualify for other benefits including higher ed scholarships. These are usually grant monies that the state is allowed to distribute. Now they want more info... because "waste and fraud" - why not trust the states to determine that??? so after the immigrants, they focus on the homeless.. then move on to the poors.
I'd disagree on one point. The reason he started with immigrants is because on a deep level, many people - certainly most of his supporters - are somewhat racist, and are OK with immigrants getting fucked over, deported, or slaughtered.
That too. That's the reason he's now moving to homeless people. The thinking is that not many people will stand up for them. And you know what? He's probably right.
They came first for the immigrants, but I did not speak up because I was not an immigrant
Then they came for the homeless, but I did not speak up because I was housed
Then they came for the queers, but I did not speak up because I was not queer
Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up
I think even more people will try their best to stay within the in-group, and we’ll continue to see where people’s lines are, and how far they’re willing to move.
There will always be plenty of increasingly narrow targets.
If no one stops that, then it moves on to the next group.
In his decree on July 24 2025, he made it easier to pick up and detain homeless people.
It also mentions drug users and the mentally ill. They'll be next on the list to go into the concentration camps.
And "mentally ill" is open to interpretation. They're already on record for saying being trans or gay is an illness.
Going after disabled and mentally ill people was actually the first step for the Nazis, long before anyone was talking about death camps for particular ethnicities or sexual orientations. A disabled child, in July 1939, was arguably the first person deliberately killed in an organized and "legal" fashion during what would eventually mutate and grow, and become the holocaust.
I feel the theory that he is just a Russian asset doing a genocide speedrun against Americans makes the most sense.
I'd also argue the wealthy are quite on board with this, as a smaller and fearful population is much easier to control and exploit. Make no mistake, Trump is a puppet for the real Lux Luthers.
The ghettos, like the Jews in Nazi Germany.
Like other dictatorships building golden palaces and keeping their area nice while not giving a fuck about other places.
Like his planned gaudy gilded ballroom?

The number of people who could be fed and housed with that money should make you sick if you’re not a monster.
This is his Let them eat cake moment…. I’m wondering how long until feral maga realizes they are getting the big banana and shows up at the capitol with guillotines
He doesn't just want them dead, the rich want us dead. Make no mistake, they believe AI was the turning point they needed* to finally no longer have need of the labor of the poor. And they believe the culling of the poor is the best thing they can do to combat climate change (without any personal sacrifice, of course).
*And no, the fact that AI isn't remotely the miracle they believe it is does not matter because they believe it is even though they're wrong. And yes, the rich do believe in climate change, even as they deny it to our faces.
They need to be taught they're not as smart as they think they are, and they need to learn the cost of their hubris, just like their predecessors did. These are people who have convinced themselves their success means they're geniuses, rather than them being extremely lucky or sociopathic. They believe this because they pay people to be their 'friends' and stroke their egos, so they don't live in reality. Most people go along, because they're hoping that 'success' will rub off on them, and then they fall into the sunk cost fallacy. And worse, 'if I act like him, I'll be successful, too', so they become insufferable cunts, but they can't stop because that means they were wrong.
For the oligarchs, there's no convincing them. The only solution was pioneered by Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin. They can't be swayed, because they're parasites on society. We're talking about money hoarders, who are the same as any other type of hoarder – they could have every penny ever made from the start of humanity until now (and Elon is so close to that it's crazy) – more than could be spent in thousands of years. But it's not enough. It's pathological, but in this case, it's actively hurting not just their immediate family but everyone on earth.
Think about it: what would you do if you had so much money, your descendents literally couldn't spend it all in 1,000 years if they spent a million dollars every day after you died? Would you just sit on it and try to accrue more?
Most of us, I think, would try to end world hunger, or use the bulk of it in a way that would make a major positive effect on humanity. But look at what Musk is doing with it.
The first thing I would do is end world hunger. Then I would work on irrigation and clean water supply and sanitation. After that, would work on agricultural sustainability. Medical tech/supplying all their health clinics with oxygen and medically stabilizing medications including vaccines and establishing research facilities; training for healthcare professionals. Then I would move on to education for the young once their nutrition and health is established. This is not hard. It has been done in thousands of civilizations.
I have no doubt in my mind that the wealthy view the non-wealthy in the same way that an average person would view an ant. They may not hate it, but they don't like it, and wouldn't feel the slightest bit guilty killing one if it happens to be in their way, or killing thousands if they feel as though they've "infested" what they view as their property.
Telling someone who doesn't have a home to move is the most Trumpian thing he's done in... like 3 days?
Makes sense, from a copyright perspective. By the time Kash Patel and Pam Bondi finish "reviewing" them they will have provided as much content for the files on Trump's behalf as Epstein did.
On November 23, 1933 The Nazi Party passed the Law against Dangerous and Habitual Criminals. This led to beggars, the homeless, alcoholics and the unemployed to be sent to concentration camps.
Oh they already passed that “law” executive order 5 weeks ago but no one noticed because they were stirring up so much other shit at the same time.
Too busy talking about a dead kiddy diddler because that's easier to think about than mass execution of the most vulnerable
Man who has done absolutely zero to lower the cost of living, or provide public housing, and has actively destroyed government charity work, has in fact created an entire new class of unemployed people, but now demands they be nowhere near where he might see them....... Hitlerpig is too pleasant a name for this obese, orange, completely inadequate Oompa Loompa!
Trump has mastered the lack of object permanence.
if he doesn't see homeless, they don't exist.
if he doesn't see employment numbers, they don't exist.
He just fires the experts that provided data proving our economy is fucked!!! And lines the govt with his cronies.
And this is coming from a family of war dodgers, illegals (came here to avoid the draft of war in Germany), multiple bankruptcies in many businesses and including self bankruptcies, etc. (Look up the FULL page ad he put out on the “Prospect Five” who were innocent! And never posted a redaction… WE DO NOT FORGET!
He’s such a POS that on Fred’s death bed he tried to get him to change his will because it didn’t benefit him the way he wanted and wanted everything! He’s a fucking sociopath and coward for letting our country turn into what it is… “Project 2025” and it is almost halfway completed now… for all the ICE abductions, they need to collect the Drumpf family, especially Melina! Send her sellout ass to El Salvador or better yet, Russia. Let her fight that war with Ukraine!
Either way, the Drumpfs came here illegally and changed their name… they have always been sketchy and deserve to pay in the same ways they are treating ACTUAL CITIZENS!
It is impossible for him to admit his economical genius moves has fucked the populace. He is literally screwed over the global and national economy.
I, for one, am buying nothing but essentials going forward. I do need work on my home but we will DIY the cheapest way possible and shop in the secondary local market. I will purchase secondhand first always. My millennial kid and his wife are doing the same. It is time for neighbors and communities to work together-- mutual aid.
My spouse and I are handy so can manage to most home improvements ourselves but the supplies/materials have drastically increased in price; still probably cheaper than hiring a contractor.
My friend needs to add another electrical service to her house and is kind of freaking out at the first quote. I told her to get some more quotes... then wait. If you are patient, you will see... the prices will actually go down as the collective absorbs the ridiculous tariffs/inflation for basic living.
The truth is, we are getting screwed. Consider that during the Great Depression and WW2, people learned to garden to feed themselves. Start your beds now if you have land/yard. If you don't, consider the community gardens in your area. If there are not any now... start one. So long as we still have public lands, we have that opportunity. Additionally, there is such a thing as guerilla gardening where you dig in little seedpods in parks/and land that is neglected (medians, side roads, etc.). https://www.gardenstead.com/...
Do not be afraid. Be motivated. (I was going to say be angry... but that is really a big waste of energy...) but being motivated and energized and proactive, calm, centered is way better. That is energy that can be maintained.
Anger energy is just a big spark and dies out. I know, y'all are pissed.. hell, I am pissed too but it helps to restrain the amount of triggers you allow yourself to be exposed to because otherwise it is a big energy suck and depression invitation.
Just cling to your first principles and pursue them. The triggering bullshit will be deployed on a daily basis designed to drive you out of your mind... ignore it. Just keep to your first principles. Work to provide a resilient local economy, dig the ditches so to speak... You are not responsible for your whole city.. just this part of your block, this one apartment building, these particular floors... this one floor and recruit more... maybe they have capacity for a floor.. or half a floor and recruit another to handle the other half. Many hands make light work.
Have weekly meetings, have parties and celebrations. Gather, create some solidarity and create a union.
eta: Also do what you can to reduce any debt you have and avoid more. I think there will be changes to screw over credit card debt holders. Anyone who has a variable rate etc.
There are large financial bubbles over the AI and cybercurrency futures. Our dollar has been downgraded. The US has a human rights alert and tourism is going down. The WH has signaled their willingness to expose our SS funds to the stock market, cyber and other risky investments.
Our Congress has abandoned us. So be very frugal, careful and start teaching yourselves about finance/investments/savings/etc. There are books at the library and online resources. Remember 2007/2008
I'm already as frugal as one can be, and I'm working with mutual aids and getting involved in local politics.
Nematodes and Gutter scum are less detestable than fascists
It's really just going to get to the point when we are no longer employable we just get fed to a meat grinder isn't it
anything to distract from his child and wife rapist past.
This man would throw fellow Americans into a woodchipper if it would make people forget that he was best friends with a child sex trafficker
Wait, seriously?
Yes. His beauty pageants (and probably many in general) served as trafficking operations, and all the adults involved knew it.
Beauty pagents are just kinda creepy in general. It's a bunch of women (or children, in Trump's case) who won the genetic lottery being forced to jump through hoops in order to earn a scholarship.
It feels more like rich people watching QVC to shop for a bride/mistress. Gross
Surely he wasn't best friends with a child sex trafficker for long? It wasn't decades was it?
Where's the bayraktar gofundme
Classic conservative mindset.
Ignore a problem or demand that it cease to exist instead of figuring out how to solve it.
They really are like children.
It's his one move. Demand things and wait for the world to give them to him.
And because he's rich and shameless, it works.
Reclassifying the homeless as agro slaves
And I demand pedos move out of DC immediately. Actually, I'd like them to move to a new planet. Mars. Go to Mars (you can take all the oxygen you can carry).
Can we start with the orange with the weird dick that fucks kids and relies on government housing?
Nazi Germany started exterminating the homeless and disabled first. When they got away with it they moved on
I sense that they will be the next targeted population once ICE is done with the undocumented. They are easy to find. Low lying fruit so to speak.
My husband works in our local city and sees so many. He admits he has a soft heart and gives them money -- for which his coworkers berate him. He said he saw a guy sleeping in a dumpster yesterday... why would someone choose to sleep in garbage? he asked. My son said, well maybe he fears to be stoned/high in open air, a contained environment may have seemed for safe for him... I thought... well, someone could say the same thing about someone who wanted to sleep safely... perhaps the shelter was full.
People in this nation are very ignorant about the actual procedures in getting green cards, citizenship... the costs, the paperwork, the time it takes. I think they are also as ignorant as to the capacity and ability of their local homeless shelters and safety nets to provide for those who have fallen through them. Most say, "they should get a job." Those able to work do have jobs, they just can't afford the rents or can't pass the financial background check (d/t being evicted when they had a job loss) in order to get a rental. We need transitional housing, boardinghouses, more multi family housing and decreased zoning rules and discrimination so allowing a family of 5 to live in a 2 bedroom apt. is not disallowed.
Can't move if you don't live anywhere
the favorite tactic gop uses, is bus them to blue states to hobble the states resources, than they can have sound bites for fox, and grifters, see look at nyc and california, they cant handle thier homeless population. Also they dont want to alert the news that they are doing it, so it wont look like the gop states are doing it on purpose, and the blue states are attracting the homeless all on thier own. the amount of homeless drastically increases in blue cities around the time of his first term too.
Oh God, you are probably right. I'm convinced the GOP leadership are all traitors to the United States because of shit like this.
bussing immigrants was just PR, and it pales in comparison to homeless being shipped off to a blue state.
Trump's apparent plant:
That's the plan for all Sociopathic Oligarchs. HitlerPig is just their hired muscle.
Well last time they released the active military with tanks and calvary on the veteran army camping in DC demanding early payout of their service bonus. I doubt a non veteran focused group would do much better.
Arm the homeless
Move out of what?
Have we tried "kill the poor"? Just as a simulation, you understand.
Hey, I have a modest lil proposal…
When i was young and i saw in One Piece that they burned the area that the homeless people were living just to make the place better due to a high noble visit, i thought this only happens in television. Now i know.
That’s just the invisible dick of the market.
Olympics, superbowls... name anything that will 'bring money into the local economy' and suddenly everyone wants to fuck over the already fucked over.
It's been happening in the real world for a long time.
There's all sorts of anti-homeless architecture out there such as changing benches to make sleeping on them uncomfortable, or adding spikes anywhere on the ground someone might seek shelter. We waste so much money and time attempting to make these poor peoples lives more miserable when all of that could have gone towards simply removing the issue of homelessness.
The One Piece take on powerful people has turned out to be scarily prescient.
Powerful people being self-centred and out of touch is a tale as old as time. I'm sure Oda saw plenty of examples growing up.
god, i want to get into one piece, but the 1000+ episodes are intimidating
Look up One Pace, they cut most of the filler out so that it turns 1k+ into like 600. Highly highly recommend, One Piece is the most rewarding piece of media for sticking with it that I've ever watched.
The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.
it's a big ask for anyone so I'd recommend, if they're open to it, reading the manga up until at least the end of the Arlong Park arc. I'd make the argument that's the earliest point to determine whether OP is for you and continue the huge read/watch ahead.
If it is, I'd encourage you to read in sections based on arcs and revisit your personal favourite arcs in the anime. The thing with the anime is it's mostly been weekly (limited budget and fluffing) so until the Wano arc (which has happened recently in it's over 20 years syndication), the animation isn't quite consistent.
I have more to say but wouldn't want to overwhelm you but essentially it's small steps and you'll see what the fuss is about, especially since we're nearing the endgame.
Depending on how fast you can read, you could watch it at 3x to 4x speed and get done in under 4 months. I did it watching 20 episodes at night. I just read fast.
I wish we lived in the world of one piece, because at least there are people/pirates fighting to help the weak and innocent against their corrupt governments.
Where does he want them to go?
They've been quite clear.

When you've already got Gavin Newsom as governor, you need to run this far to the right in order to outflank him on hating the homeless.
Exactly. When they don't leave they will be arrested and put into camps.
When someone posts something this smug and offensive the punishment should be that everyone who want to forms an orderly line and each get one square kick to his nuts. They can kick as hard as they want, they can wear whatever footwear they want.
What the fuck is wrong with these people?
I don't get the impression he's thought that far ahead.
Prison
Oh, you think he wants them to remain alive?
Yes, I assumed he wants to enslave people after arresting them. Who knows with this stupid fucker though...
I think so. They need new homes for idle hands.
Bold talk from a grifter that relies on government housing.
A large number of our local homeless are drug addicted or mentally ill or both. We have a State Mental Health Hospital here. Many either leave their group homes or lost benefits in order to remain in some of the rehab facilities.
My son interacts with these people every day. No, he is not a therapist... he works at a state hospital and he sees them on the street and just talks to them, even when they make no sense and are probably hallucinating.
He says.. "It is important to acknowledge an individual's humanity no matter what their mental and economic status. Ignoring them, making them feel they are invisible, just contributes to their mental illness and trauma." Even if you have no money to give them, you can acknowledge them and look at them and shake their hand whether they make any sense to you at all. Positive interactions in a community contributes to the collective mental health.
He has a Masters degree in clinical psychology. He currently works as a data scientist.
:::
Effectively though, not just mildly.
I was walking down a street in Berlin yesterday and we almost missed five little golden paving stones in front of a house.
I wonder if you'll have some of those in the US after all is said and done. Probably not, but I reckon y'all need some fucking reminders because apart from fucking Alamo you seem to have awful short memories.
I had to look this up, because I didn't know about Stolperstein. Sobering...
It's a nice discreet reminder, I literally walked over one the other day and the kids pointed out the shiny stone and I didn't cope on.
But yesterday was like five of them and I stopped long enough to read the "here lived" and realised. Damn.
I wish we had the same in France, I think people really do forget.
He’s going to put them in the concentration camps too?
Already planning on it.
I remember reading about a horrible statistic on the homeless. While many will talk about 17% being vets, or what the new number is. Based on interviews and polling of the homeless, an estimated 35-45% are people that grew out of the foster care/orphan system. Nearly half of the homeless likely never had a place they could call home.
Child “welfare” in the states is legal human trafficking. Basically no qualifications to run a group home. Lots of kids end up in sex work because it’s better than being at a home.
As the Republicans love to say, it's largely a problem of mental health. Now if only they supported public healthcare...
If he must do this then I suggest the great migration to neighborhoods with wealthy conservative populations near DC, after all I'm sure the church going crowds will be falling over themselves to demonstrate their Christ like compassion they've long proclaimed to have.
Someone in Trump's circle probably fucking ordered if That, or they just beat the shit out of him themselves, and then made up a story.
Though I don't find it hard to imagine this kid talking shit to some DC residents (teenagers lol) about his work with DOGE, and finding out the hard way how the real world is different than the internet.
EPSTEIN
"Nice try, distracting us with an iron-fisted pogrom against the poorest residents of one of America's wealthiest and most influential cities, Trump. But I'm not going to stop shitposting on a backwater of the internet."
“Get the poors off my streets!” “Send the children to me!” 🫲🍊🫱
I wonder if "Homeless demands Trump move out of Washington, DC 'immediately'" will make more sense.
Will all people of color be next? If they can do one, they can do the other. Who's next?
Everybody who isn't a MAGA, or doesn't bow down, is next.
If you weren't born here, you will be removed. Green cards, naturalization won't help you. They don't respect birthright citizenship, they won't respect anything else.
Then they will go after gays, minorities, dissidents, journalists, and of course, Democrats/ Liberals.
The only thing that can save you is paying a vast amount of money to HitlerPig. Even with that, he may not honor the agreement. In any case, he will eventually want more.
I'm hoping he'll be on one of the blow-uppy flights.
He's the most prolific traitor in American history, worse that all previous American traitors COMBINED. Any list of his crimes should always START with Traitor.
I just donated 1,000 legal semi-automic weapons to the homeless. /S
I don't know how coded it is... A lot of recent orders and events are clearly leading to the dispatch of the US military in DC.
It's coming. Too many things to be coincidental.
It's probably the easiest place for them to do this, and it will be, in part, to set an example and scare other blue cities into compliance.
We LA, didn't get scared why should you?
There's plenty of room at "Mar A Lego".
Foxtrot Delta Taco.
Just because they are homeless doesn't mean they deserve this
Mar a Lardo (sea to fatass)
Pedalago
Well I’m not ‘homeless’, I’m just ’temporarily non-American and unwelcome’.
I wonder if he will pet them know by post or email? Will they be sent to work in a "poor house"? Seriously, no one chooses to live homeless. These are the people who need support. Right now, the US is causing an increase in the homeless population.
Well, you know what this kind of state likes to say. "Arbeit macht frei".
Fucking demented rapist prattling on into a microphone.
Sacrificing the homeless on the alter of distraction. Foder for the powerful.
Fucking awful
Was it also awful then:
Or is it uniquely awful now in a way it wasn't before?
It's always awful.
Both sides fuel the homelessness epidemic. Both sides bomb Palestinians. Both sides are in the Epstein files. It's almost like they're basically the same side, but one's drunk a little more of the Koolaid.
It's always been awful. We have always sacrificed the homeless and the poor on the altar of "political progress". It's pretty par for the course in the United States.
It's particularly egregious, though, when it's done by a United States sitting president. Especially for the incredibly petty reasons he's doing so.
Kinda wierd right? Who'd it demand it too, most don't have TVs let along hang out on Twitter or Fox News? Almost like this was a distrac.......oh wait
Who’d it demand it too
It's in direct response to DOGE staffer "Big Balls" getting carjacked by a pair of 15-year-olds.
He wants to do old-school Brazilian death squads, doesn't he?
Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller does, so he does, too. PeeWee is HitlerPig's Wormtongue, whispering poison in his ear.
Might actually have the authority to do this one considering how many homeless people are recallable veterans.

go to feed...
And go where? Someplace else that doesn’t want them?
Be real, you just want them to die. To be gone, permanently. Don’t address the reasons people are homeless. Don’t provide actual housing. They’ll be fodder for labour camps soon enough, anyhow.
Nevermind there are currently 28 vacant homes for every one person experiencing homelessness in the U.S., many of which are owned not by individuals but by corporate conglomerates that have no incentive to fill them with people, since they’re a tax write-off.
Fuck everything about this. In modern society, housing should be a human right. There’s already more than enough to go round.
e: though now I think about it, what else should we expect from the US’s most famously notorious slumlord?
save
