President Trump will slap the city of San Francisco with a notice of environmental violations...

President Trump will slap the city of San Francisco with a notice of environmental violations within about a week related to its homelessness problem.
WH pooler called this in from AF1 early this morning




BREAKING: Trump told reporters aboard AF1 that the EPA is going to declare San Francisco in violation because of homeless population putting “tremendous pollution” - including needles - into the ocean

Of the President.

City Council and Mayor have first authority and the county. They should take a states rights approach with Newsom.

Oh - and a Whistleblower has sounded the alarm that Trump is a Traitor.

give a crap about the environment is when he can use the issue to get revenge on a place he hates

And, from another post on DU:

In a statement, Mayor London Breed called Trump’s remarks “ridiculous” and said storm drain debris is filtered out at city wastewater treatment plants so that none flows “into the bay or ocean.”

Aside from this being totally bogus and appalling hateful, does it not seem like Trumps explanation of decisions like this one is like some adolescent mindset that's been warped by watching too many 70's/80's after school specials? Next month he'll probably be telling parents to have their kids Halloween candy xrayed.
