To the editor: I can assist you make sense of President Trump’s order to drive individuals off the streets and into hospitals (“Trump’s order on homelessness gets it all wrong, and here’s why,” July 25). He has already cut federal funds to psychological well being care and substance abuse restoration. He wants to cut federally backed housing too. There already aren’t sufficient hospital beds to accommodate sufferers now, and he hasn’t supplied to pay for extra.
I wouldn’t be shocked if this was step one in his plan to complain that sure states will not be getting sufficient individuals off the streets, so that they’ll must be “handled” in his immigrant detention camps — one thing that he’s spending federal money on expanding and which advantages private companies that donated to him. He has proven us who he’s; imagine him. Nothing good comes out of this government order.
