Lower the fucking rents, greedy San Francisco landlords! That’ll help!

So Feds will to try to fix a problem encouraged then exacerbated by the state of California.

This is another Trump scheme to funnel taxpayer money to another PRIVATE(who owns them) vendor. Remember Trump's migrate concentration camps private owners are getting $700 A DAY PER PERSON. They don't get $7 a day of true costs.

As if! This hypocrite doesn't have a clue of homelessness. He is just a swamp thing that kissed up to DerangedDonald and was appointed. Just like all seats in government!

Shopping for furniture, BEN? Follow his spending!!! I wouldn’t let this guy cut my toenails .

Make CA really cold instead of invitingly warm. Simple solution. I think I'll have a latte. ---Ben Carson.

It will not help until the they put American citizens over illegals. The left rather give to illegals then help the homeless

Someone has to do something. The ppl that pay taxes/ own businesses should appreciate it.

A big waste of Time and Money. You don't have to go to California to find a Solution to Homelessness. There's Homelessness all over America. Quit building that Damn Border Wall and maybe you'll have Money for the Homeless in America.

He’s bound to have a brilliant solution.

Racists!

Good luck!

Is this a joke.

Are they homeless because of housing costs? That would be affordable housing. Is it no jobs? President says best jobs numbers ever. Is it health costs? Your screwed with the Republicans no healthcare plan.

Well someone needs to step in, California’s elected officials aren’t doing a thing to solve the problem!

At least someone is doing something to help the homeless in SF and LA. The democrats just push for illegals not Americans.

What r they going 2 do, round them up and put in2 a detention centre?

Maybe relocate the homeless to Treasure Island or Catalina Island?

Can't he offering his couch?

My luggage!

What’s the over/under on how long it takes him to fall asleep during a meeting?

Why in the world would the president of the USA take time away from running the country to work on a problem of a small region in 1/50th of the country? Isn't there something closer to the issue available to work it?

California’s homeless problem is a local issue...not Federal. It’s up to the state and local government to solve that problem. It’s your policies so now you have to live with it.

These criminals are coming to help their darkmoney benefactors like CoreCivic and GEOGroup scout out new ConcentrationCamps, this time for the homeless. $750/bed/day adds up to BIG bucks! 🤬🤬🤬

Only way to fix California is to vote out the Democrats.

Another of trumps BEST PEOPLE who are totally unqualified for their position.

What happened to riding people out of town on a rail. Sounds appropriate for the feds.

No shit, Ben Carson is still the HUD secretary?

Do not spend Federal money on CA, this is a State issue that CA should pay for, they keep electing incompetent officials

WTF does he do?

Solution: drop the damn rent & home prices o away with greedy slum landlords!!! Open churches atnight for homeless: Solved!! I aint no brain surgeon either!!

If the Trump admin finds a solution for the homeless people, every Democrat will have to quit and move on! It's a Democrat problem but they just want to impeach because of their hatred!

Provide affordable housing.

Well, it's quite obvious that California hasn't been able to handle the situation. I sincerely hope everyone realizes that the homeless are not the problem, they are the result of the problem(s). It'd be really cool if we could actually do something right.

Let that rat hole come up w/ it's own solution. We always hear about how much GDP California produces....too bad most of it (even with their ever increasing taxes) gets flushed away for their welfare state

Trump will have to fix pelosi and Schiffs problems

Tuck Frump, Ben Carson, and the rest of his non caring cabinet. Trump needs to go !

he wants to pretend caring but he's bad even at pretending to care

Well then, all is well. LMAO you just can’t make this stuff up.

morgfair Can he stay awake?

We all know Waters and Pelosi doesn't give a damn about the homeless people there.

👎🏿

California be careful of trojan horses

What has this man done? Anything besides redecorate?

Selling that dinning room set would free up some $$$. Carson, as well as the rest of Trump's cabinet, doesn't have a fucking clue about what the 99% needs, or going through.

I don’t see any good even reasonable solution coming from someone with 0 experience in that office. Trump hates CA.

About time somebody tried to fix it instead of making excuses and pointing fingers like the Democrats in charge in California.

You can't help California!! They have been destroying that state for years. It is unbelievable that it has all those homeless people. But it is run by Dumocrats and the rich in gated communities!! Very sad situation that they let this happen to a beautiful state. Such a waste

OMG!

Hilarious 😂😂😂😂

Tell California to fix it themselves

I hear the Doral has a lot of empty rooms...

how about increasing taxes for homeless housing

That man is a human quaalude

“A source with knowledge” 😳😳😳😳😐😐😐😁😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ClownNetwork

Only trump alone can fix homelessness. Another weirdo.

Carson is so oblivious about anything. He won't even know he is in California when he arrives there. Loser to the max.

This ignorant regime could not scratch their ass with both hands. There is not one competent person in this regime. NOT ONE!. tRump regime is dumbing down America!

Junebug: C.A.L.I.F.O.R.N.I.A? Dog, go to McPherson Square in DeeCee or hop on Amtrak and take a 30 minute ride to CityofBaltimore. Save both time and money.

The only way to end the CA homeless situation is to defeat liberal Democrats !!!

That’s because GavinNewsom gives support to illegals first!

Ben Carson should just stay in DC and get his resume together.

Great idea! Maybe you can help all these homeless and starving people including kids that the liberal have pushed aside.

Free brain operations for all the homeless people.

Ben Carson better remain in his office with the $30,000 table he bought at our expense and keep his nose out of California’s business!

When they go low we go high!

DC has a bigger homeless problem than I’ve seen in YEARS in NYC. And they conduct all manner of intimate activities in plain sight - putting it mildly. Ben Carson needs to fix THAT before he goes ANYWHERE!

Have to since the California govt sure doesnt give a shit about them.

Why isnt GavinNewsom doing anything Just like Baltimore it takes a Conservative to clean up liberal mess

O... O... Oreo?

Take me with you, Doc! Nothing a Sharpie can't fix!

He can start by offering his resignation.

I’m sure he’ll get it all fixed with no scandal 🤣🤣

Let me guess their solution: tax cuts for the Uber Rich 😮

Will use his expertise to select dining room furniture for them.

California should have done something about this long ago. Those in power there have not helped these people. It’s a drug problem 1st. and a homeless problem 2nd. These people need more than a place to live, they need drug treatment.

Sell the $31k table & give the $ to homeless charities. That would be a start

This administration will never find favor in CA. He might as well save us taxpayers the cost of the trip and just go play golf somewhere on the east coast.

No.....he is going for a different reason. Trump will get his sinister revenge on California.

Dr Carson truly is a great man. Someone to look up to while the media bashes him.

Oh goody...I’m sure Ben will come up with some brilliant solutions...😒

Make it legal to forcibly lock people with mental problems up again. Also actually start enforcing drug laws and arresting people. This will make the biggest impact. You can't build homes and give them to craziess or druggies. 🙄💩

There is an easy solution get rid of the clowns running California and put people there that are willing to uphold the law and our constitution

Break out the Oreos...

lmao!!! He knows nothing except how to spend taxpayer’s money on dining room furniture

Why is Trump getting involved in a state’s issues? What happened to the whole ‘state’s rights’ focus the GOP loves to talk about?

Make California Golden Again MCGA realDonaldTrump

Let me know where he’s headed so I can throw a milkshake at him.

Cabins for the homeless in California?

What the hell uncle Ben going to do.

homelessness is harder than brain surgery

....end sanctuary cities, rent control, an other left wing policies that caused it

President Trump and Ben Carson will present a solution to solve CA homeless problem that Gavin Newsom, Pelosi, Schiff, Swalwell, Feinstein, Harris, Lieu created. Laughing all the way to the voting station.

Many doubt that the trip will be fruitful, because Ben Carson knows very little about housing and urban development.

So California the “everything free” and liberal Mecca can’t solve homelessness. Build people free homes! How did this happen in California? Lol. Yes, I’m laughing.

$31k dining sets for all homeless?

Mr. Carson, why bother. They will not accept any suggestions from you. They now want to ship their homeless to other states. Not happening!

Feds. should help people who wants to be helped..wouldn't waste my time there...

Haha Haha Haha Haha Haha Haha Haha

Why don’t they just round them up and put them in a concentr.........I mean a housing camp ?

Oh thank you CNN for warning the liberals so they can protest and you can cover it. GO AWAY Cynical Nasty Nobodies!!

Total joke Carson is a nut job

He needs a new table

Got to keep homeless away from trump land. Doesn't seem to worry about DC or New Yotk.

Get rid of Democrats, and you will get rid of a problem.

Ben Carson may propose they live in a pyramid

Why bother? CA wants crap all over their cities. That's why no housing and bathroom facilities provided for the homeless. Just keep electing those great politicians who keep CA in filth with people sleeping all over the streets. Not taking care of the less fortunate - nice going.

we should never allow homeless encampments in america bc they r health n crime-hazards for everybody n they easily grow out of control . typhus now. the plague next? dems' controlled cities r going to the pits.

Maybe those 2

Is Ben still in the Government? I thought he fell down the stairs and Trumpanzee fired him....🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I remember when I admired him..is there a trump hotel out there he can stay at?

Dems are a bunch of people who would rather have a country fail to prove a point and to spite one man, rather than have it succeed and be wrong. It’s mind-boggling.

Hope he takes a box of Oreos to snack on! Might help to keep him awake or not.

california screwed up california, systematically. A natural disaster is one thing, but dragging their ass because they refuse to? let california fix it, if only they knew how to take a little advice.

Shithole

It’s about time. Democrats here don’t about the homless problem their solution hand out needles and ban straws

Hey news network where was your cable?

Oh lord, his ideas are going to be nuts

Maybe... stop importing illegals? And maybe... follow exactly where all the money spent on fighting the problem actually went?

Even the States that bitch about him the most apparently require his help and skill set. You fkn libs are pathetic the way you treat your own POTUS.

California can’t figure out how to resolve it. They desperately need help...

FYI housing the homeless is cheaper than doing nothing about it.

a 'CNN' source 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
