The water on capital hill is polluted by all the trump gang. Get out of the people’s house.
Homelessness is in EVERY state!
Dear fakenews. Nobody cares about California. They will destroy themselves.
I have never seen an administration that takes responsibility for nothing like this one. Leaders are suppose to lead not play the blame game.
No they are racking in between the trees 🌲.... must be
Of course I thought everyone knew this.
But windmills and LED lightbulbs
If the homeless people are defecating in the watershed area, they are certainly polluting the water.
a bunch of bums in this administration.
You might want to put baselessly in the headline. Unless you found any evidence at all. Cmon npr. You can’t just quote this idiot.
That's stupider than usual
Wrong. He will never win California.
His poop runs over
You blame straws for marine pollution but ignore all the syringes.
Divide and rule..
Yes, indeed - open defecation and urination
No reason at all, other than a huge homeless population. WHICH WAS THE POINT
Aaawww.....the dem shit hole is being protected by NPR...
I note that lack of quotation marks in your comments attributed to the President.
Indeed
Looks to me like the shit can migrate..
Everything about this cold cruel administration is vile...they are a stain on our democracy
My mother used to blame the fires in California (nothing like those of today) on foreigners. She could never explain further
And NPR is taking swipes at us conservatives with this article!!! Propagada specialist !!!
He’s a pig
New York has a much higher homeless rate. California is out of control as well.
EPAAWheeler could you be any more of a blow up doll?
Too much weed going on in the White House
If anyone defecates in the watershed, then it is so.
Sick white supremest of White House
Wow. He is just not smart. What an embarrassment, every minute of every day.
Well... the river is full of feces... San Francisco pays $2 million a year to clean needles and feces off the streets... the pollution has been linked to human waste.
Oh really. I wonder where he got that idea from. If only u people haven’t been taking swipes at him for 3 years now...🤔
How low can he go?
Of all the insanely laughable & epically HYPOCRITICAL ridiculousness from this whitehouse, going after California over environment issues is by far the most ridiculously stupid. This admin is by far the greatest enemy of the environment in history resistance corruptgop
Really?
Pure political attack by Trump.
If only California would rake their homeless
If this wasn't such a sicko statement, it would actually be funny. Definite The Onion material.
It's not exactly politics. It's because he LIES as he breathes. He makes up stuff--confabulates, and he INSULTS everyone that is not a sycophant to him or who has different ideas or who outshines him. He's disgusting and that's all you need to know. Not worth human status.
Knock Knock the storm water collects everything on the ground that includes waste.
Trump doesn't like poor people, homeless people are even lower that them! Everything he does is to get him votes even though it makes no sense, but it does to his base, go figure
What is the level of pollution? What is the source of the pollutants? Seems like this isn't a matter of Trump administration blames so much as the cause of the pollution is...
Ha!
Homeless often live in watershed areas like creek beds where they litter and create human waste products that pollute the water systems. They do contribute to water pollution and it is a growing problem.
Well trump is pretty knowledgeable. I mean...who knew cancer was caused by windmills?
TrumpsAnIdiot
He probably meant to say 'cause of water pollution in San Fran.' Isn't there human filth and excrement everywhere because of the city's massive homeless problem?
Why does he always blame people that can’t fight back Why doesn’t he blame coal ash, fracking water, oil spills
'The state is not acting with enough urgency to address environmental problems related to homelessness'. What's the real objective here? How do you quantify waste from the homeless vs. waste from others? Spend time & 💰on getting to the root of homelessness.
The white House is doing everything they can to enrage us and change the story, don't bite. We will fix it in 2020.
If Trump really wanted to help, he would do something about it instead of just posturing politically.
No different than Hitler’s swipes at the Jews, oversimplifying social problems and putting it all on a minority for political gain.
Homeless are next
Perhaps he’s offended by a city that allows shit and dirty needles on the streets.
While reading this I anticipated it saying the president is talking out his ass. lol
It's ok, Dotard in Chief will be preoccupied for a short while until he is replaced.
This seems to be his modus operandi
When you have feces in the street the water supply is endangered
Flblueskies EPAAWheeler is a toady and a turd. He doesn’t give a damn about the environment but would sell his own mother to make Trump happy. 🍄
This line: 'Trump also said homeless people scare away foreigners who want to live in those cities.' Not sure what this means, since it comes from the same president who wants to shut down all immigration by 'foreigners who want to live in those cities.' realDonaldTrump
If the water is so polluted then don’t bother coming back. CA lets be our own country and we’ll see how sad the administration is when our taxes are cut from their budget.
Well, I think the fact that San Francisco DOES have a crazy large homeless population, and it has it specifically because of the governing actions at state and local level give the President myriad reasons to take swipes at your city.
This from a city that is still struggling with potty training?
This demonstrates a lack of knowledge of the situation, science and how water treatment works. Trump is grasping at straws and flailing like a drowning man.
Hey San Francisco! Stop dumping crap in the ocean!
He is mentally ill and is unraveling every day
You literally have an app in San Francisco to report 💩 on the ground. There are people shooting up in the streets. I’m sure they are disposing of this waste properly and none of it is getting into the ocean. Please the homeless situation there is going to bring back the plague
realDonaldTrump “Trump also said homeless people scare away foreigners who want to live in those cities.” WHAT?
Mr. Mayor, let me take a swipe. SF once the most beautiful city in US that was our go-to several times annually for pleasure and business is no longer. You’re city is Gross, it stinks unpleasant, panhandlers allowed to accost tourists. I’ll never return until fixed!
TRUMP'S PATHETIC ATTEMPTS TO DISTRACT ARE GETTING DESPERATE
Didn't the 45 admin ok dumping mining waste in streams last week?
are you kidding, these cities are trashed
Not a Trumpeteer but honestly, that outlandish explanation sounds eerily like climate alarmists hyperbole
The first thing I can agree with Ms. Breed. Other then that, she’s a pawn for the techies and widening the income gap her in the city by the bay. Soooo disappointing 😒😑
Yeppers... those darned homeless people pumping millions of tons of pesticides, chemicals, and toxins into the water with their massive factories and agriculture conglomerates.
How about we 'blame' homelessness on the rise in cost of living but not in wages, and lack of community resources that actually serve peoples needs- like mental health care, job training and placement for disenfranchised populations?
Trump has lost all presidency credibility. No one cares what he says anymore. You can feel it in the air. Trump is toast.
Omg, this 🤬er just doesn't stop.
Two faces, each ugly in its own way.
I read and heard Dr. Drew talking about how human waste, blood and feces along with drug residue gets in the runoff, into the LA river and other waterways, gets out to the ocean and is killing marine life. These people need help, they are mentally ill, drug addicted, hopeless.
realDonaldTrump You know nothing about our state. California does not need your input, stop interfering with our deserved funding. Meanwhile,
I guess if windmills cause cancer, the homeless pollute water. Go figure.
California levees are threatened in many places due to homeless camps.
Shame on you, trump
Distraction.
'It's a distraction dont listen to him'- everyone in about 5 seconds

NPR Choice pagethe words 'mass shooting' sound eerily similar to 'sunday mass.' both are probably damaging in some way.
