President Trump slammed New York and California over homelessness, saying the states’ governors should call him if they “can’t handle” the issue.
Said Trump: “California and New York must do something about their tremendous homeless problems. They are setting records!”
He added: “If their Governors can’t handle the situation, which they should be able to do very easily, they must call and ‘politely’ ask for help. Would be so easy with competence!”
