Trump Says Homeless Americans Are Polluting Ocean With 'Needles' and EPA Will Take Action

[Newest Reality]

President Donald Trump claims the homeless population in San Francisco is polluting the ocean and says the Environmental Protection Agency will issue some kind of notice to the city within a week, according to reporters traveling with the president on Air Force One last night. Trump said that “needles” and “other things” were pouring into the ocean, but at least once San Francisco official has already called that claim “nonsense.”

“We’re looking at San Francisco and we’re looking at Los Angeles, and we’re looking at all of the things that are happening. You know, there’s tremendous pollution being put into the ocean because they’re going through what’s called the storm sewer that’s for rainwater,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. “And we have tremendous things that we don’t have to discuss pouring into the ocean. You know there are needles, there are other things.”

Trump has been visiting the west coast this week to raise money for his reelection campaign and made the new comments on his flight from California to Washington, D.C. around midnight.

“It’s a terrible situation—that’s in Los Angeles and in San Francisco. And we’re going to be giving San Francisco, they’re in total violation, we’re going to be giving them a notice very soon,” Trump continued.

A sudden environmentalist? No, scapegoat du jour.

1. Sounds like

He had to be briefed on what a storm sewer is and he got it. That's good. But. He sounds like he is on crack himself.

2. Did the moron hear "We didn't start the fire" on the radio yesterday?

"Hypodermics on the shore"

needles were ending up in the ocean because of a landfill on Staten Island, not the homeless.

5. Seeking truth, compassion, or reality

in this moron's mind is like searching for a needle in the haystack on top of his head. Geesh, but never you mind what goes down the "sanitary sewers" that end up in the same place.

Want to at least feel a tiny bit virtuous; hey it's educational and hopefully, raises awareness of a really big issue. This will, at the very least, raise awareness and get you thinking about the pollution of Earth's oceans? Even better--are you listening GOP? Congress? Governors? Everyone! Someone else can actually do the actual clean-up; can actually make the difference; can actually fund this until we speak with one voice: that's the real work!
