To the editor:

Trump’s comments about homeless people living on “our best streets” seem to suggest that what bothers him most is not their plight but that he has to look at them.

Any program he might advocate to get people off the street is only to get the homeless out of his sight. He seems entirely unconcerned about the welfare of these people.

Brushing problems under a rug doesn’t solve them. Trump focuses on appearances rather than on substance and root causes. This is his signature, and it will be his legacy.
