Newsom on Trump homeless threat: 'I don’t know that he knows what it means'

By JEREMY B. WHITE 07/02/2019 04:00 PM EDT

EMERYVILLE — California Gov. Gavin Newsom turned Donald Trump’s threat to “intercede” on homelessness back on the president Tuesday, welcoming federal help but faulting Trump for floating budget cuts to safety net programs.

“It sounds like the president of the United States recognizes he has work to do on this issue,” Newsom said, spinning the president’s comments as “encouraging” — while rebuking Trump for proposals that would mean “decreasing the social safety net to address the reasons people are out on the streets and sidewalks in the first place,” questioning if Trump was “familiar with the tenets or details of his budget.”

The back-and-forth marked the latest exchange in a long-smoldering feud between the two executives. Long accustomed to deriding California as an example of failed liberal governance, Trump has increasingly cited the state’s homeless epidemic as exhibit A.

“You take a look at what’s going on with San Francisco, it’s terrible,” Trump told Tucker Carlson in an interview last night, linking homelessness to “the liberal establishment.”

It was unclear what specific steps Trump has in mind. Newsom noted that uncertainty — telling reporters during an event trumpeting a new affordable housing development that “I don’t know what that means. I don’t know that he knows what it means” — before warning that Trump's ideas would make things worse.

1. Pure Gibberish "... very important things that we're doing now."

Trump’s incoherent monologue on homelessness

Trump on homelessness: It’s a phenomena that started two years ago. It’s disgraceful. I’m going to maybe — and I’m looking at it very seriously — we’re doing some other things that you probably noticed like some of the very important things that we’re doing now. But we’re looking at it very seriously, because you can’t do that.

2. Talk about being a total Ignorant Idiot.

But,the press pumped it big time as fact. Just another one of the Ponzi Rapist attempts to change the Narrative.

Made for prime time TV.

3. It is all potemkin .... nothing is real except the crazy

Such as the boy who had a lawn care business and cut the grass in the rose garden.

The young man had never really mowed a lawn in his life. Look @ the big strips of unmowed grass
he left behind. You always leave a 1/4 to 1/2 of the mower deck to overlap your past cut.
