Why Does Trump Hate the Homeless?

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

I’m pretty sure that Trump hates everyone, including a number of his oligarchs. The old man in the White House confirms this assumption through his own words and actions. Trump is a ‘humanoid,’ there is no joy when he’s around. However, he gets his enjoyment in life by ensuring those he hates are punished and experience pain and anguish.

It is no secret that Trump is a racist, a bigot, and a misogynist, but why does he hate homeless people? A considerable number of America’s homeless population are veterans. The fastest growing number of Americans without a permanent home are children.

Today, August 12, 2025, Trump is imposing a form of martial law on the people of Washington D.C. There is no legitimate reason for this illegal and immoral action with the exception of Trump’s personal vendetta against anyone he despises.

President Donald Trump vowed this week to rid Washington, D.C., of homeless encampments, issuing a warning that the "homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY." Though what those plans will look like, including where people will go, is unclear, sparking concerns among advocacy groups.

The following day he reiterated his opinion of our nation’s homeless population as well as his abject ignorance about the problem.

[Trump said that the federal government will be "removing homeless encampments from all over our parks" in D.C. as part of an effort to "rescue our nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor and worse."

["There are many places that they can go, and we're going to help them as much as you can help. But they'll not be allowed to turn our capital into a wasteland for the world to see," Trump said during a press briefing on Monday while announcing plans for the federal government to take over the D.C. police department and deploy National Guard troops in D.C.]

With every passing day I have more reasons to believe that Trump is far from human. He lacks compassion and concern for anyone other than himself. This single, irrefutable fact prevents him from holding any office in our nation’s government. The only “job” of our elected officials is to serve, protect, and care for the needs and wishes of all 340 million Americans.

Fact: the primary reasons for homelessness are a lack of affordable housing. This is a problem no one in Washington is addressing. It is the primary reason why the number of homeless children is escalating.

The second reason is poverty. Many men, women, and children who lack a sufficient income to maintain a permanent residence are the result of a medical emergency, a crisis. The cost of medical care in America continues to rise, and the inability to pay those outrageous bills forces thousands of Americans to fall below the poverty line.

The third most common problem is mental illness. Mental health is rarely considered an urgent problem in America. It is unusual for any insurance company to offer necessary funding for what is frequently a lengthy form of treatment.

Veterans suffering from PTSD and other battlefield conditions are the most numerous in this category. However, stress among all walks of life has been the focus of mental health professionals for decades.

One of the many reasons Trump will forever be known as the worst illegitimate president in history is the fact that his 79 years existed in a different America than most. He has always enjoyed an atmosphere of white privilege and its accompanying wealth. He has never worked for a living or been forced to struggle for survival in a nation which considers the wealthy in a class above the rest.

As he grows nearer to becoming an octogenarian, he becomes more childish and completely out of touch with a nation whose average age is 38.5 years. He complains constantly, and brags about non-existent accomplishments incessantly.

Trump is woefully unqualified to be our nation’s president.

The Real Victims in the Trump Saga

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s defense strategy has changed, slightly. He claims that all of his legal battles are founded in political strategy, created by his enemies. He is playing the role of a victim. I guess part of Trump’s decline in mental acuity is a severe loss of memory. He appears to forget that many of the crimes he is accused of began long before he made the mistake of seeking the presidency. Others, including his insurrection on January 6, and stolen classified documents are actions witnessed by every American. We are not falling for your bullshit, Donnie Boy. THE REAL VICTIMS A brief look at Trump’s history reveals a life of crime. From bribing public officials, and refusing to pay contractors, to allegations of physical, sexual assault, the orange buffoon left a long trail of victims. As your illegitimate president, he violated the basic human rights of thousands. According to medical experts, Trump’s failure to take timely action to prevent an oncom...

Aileen Cannon: A Corrupt Judge Appointed by a Lifelong Criminal

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Aileen Cannon is a federal judge, appointed by Donald Trump. She has been charged with one of the most important cases involving Trump’s life of crime; his theft of classified documents when he was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021. Yesterday she gave Trump a gift by delaying his upcoming trial. The events which followed prove that he violated the Espionage Act of 1917. He is also guilty of lying to the FBI, a federal crime. Before the raid on Mar-a-Lago, when they discovered boxes of national secrets hidden throughout the millionaire’s playpen, he claimed that he had returned all of them. TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS: LIES, MISDIRECTION, BASELESS ATTACKS You might have noticed that Trump, his failed party, and his supporters constantly lie about everything. There is undeniable proof that the only attempted fraud in the 2020 election can be attributed to Trump supporters. The 91 indictments against Trump are not a “witch hunt:” I have ...

This Supreme Court Did Something Right

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is no secret that I have been a frequent critic of the Supreme Court since 2020. I have good reason and a huge responsibility to criticize it for its corruption and political bias. However, when it does the right thing, I also have a responsibility to praise them for their actions. Thanks to a poorly written Second Amendment, which is ambiguous and lacks definition, the NRA gun lobby, paid for by gun manufacturers and gun sellers, has used this one amendment to the Bill of Rights for their own benefit. Gun violence began to escalate in America in 1976, the same year the NRA ceased its purpose as a gun safety organization, and aligned itself with the corporate world. The most recent statistic I found was from 2022. In that one year, 48,117 men, women, and children lost their lives from the use of a gun. Firearm suicide: 26,993 people. Firearm homicide: 19,592 people. Unintentional gun injury: 472 people. Fatal shooting by law enforcement: 649 peo...
