Addressing the attendees of the America First Policy Institute, former US President Donald Trump on Tuesday, July 26, claimed that when he was in power he ordered the Secret Service to clear

homeless encampments in Washington, DC. Trump said he would ask agents to "immediately" remove clusters of tents if he saw them established near the White House. He praised the

Secret Service agents and said they did a "phenomenal job." > "I would see a cluster of tents. I’d see it happen. I'd send > people out immediately. The Secret

late," reported the Independent. Trump's address came for the first time after he left office in January 2021. He asserted that the capital city has become unrecognizable.

"They have tents with the homeless and others, all over, I think, the most beautiful public spaces in the world," he said. "They don’t look beautiful now", he added. Due

to the streets being covered with tents, bottles, and litter, Trump said world leaders wouldn't visit Washington, DC. With this condition all around, "who is going to want to come

to Washington, DC?" he asserted. "It leaves such a bad impression. They go home and say, "What kind of a country has the United States turned into?" He further attacked

Biden's administration, saying the responsibility of finding permanent homes for residents facing homelessness falls to city officials. While addressing the event, Trump also spoke

about creating large tent cities on the outskirts of cities where the homeless population would be shifted. However, he didn't provide any details on how this plan would be implemented.

While addressing the summit held by former members of his administration, Trump also indicated that he will run for a third presidential election "again". “I always say I ran the

first time, and I won. And then I ran a second time, and I did much better,” he said. “What a disgrace it was. But we may just have to do it again", he further added.
