Take a minute to look through all the photos of hoovervilles. Tens of thousands of people in tents, often with the apartments they were evicted from and the factories closed or running at a fraction of capacity within a few hundred yards in the background.
How would you explain to aliens why tens of thousands of people in every city were driven from their homes, which were left empty, to live in squalor while being prevented from doing anything productive?

The thing about history is if you don’t want your name associated with homeless Trump Towns in every city in America, maybe don’t take a healthy economy and run it into the ground. Maybe don’t let a PE hack who has never built anything like Tom Krause near the institutions the American people rely on.

They will care more about making sure he doesn’t get the “Hooverville” (i.e. naming shantytowns after Trump) treatment than actually fixing the problem.
