(CNN)The White House has sent a team to California this week for "fact
finding" and "learning more about the crisis" of homelessness in Los
Angeles, a White House official confirms.

The administration is particularly interested in the shortage of
affordable housing and exploring how to lift regulations for development,
the White House official said. The Washington Post was first to report on
the Trump team heading to Los Angeles.

The move comes in the midst of Trump's long-standing rocky relationship
with California, with the President clashing with the Golden State over
not only homelessness but also his spot on the California 2020 ballot and
his false claims about state voter fraud.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's staff took Trump administration
officials on a tour Tuesday "to learn more about the city's response to
the homelessness crisis," the mayor's office said in a statement.

Garcetti's staff showed the officials "the Unified Homelessness Response Center, the redevelopment of Jordan Downs public housing complex,
prefabricated Flyaway Homes, and the St. Andrews Place A Bridge Home
shelter recently opened in South L.A.," according to the statement.
Garcetti told the President in a letter, "If you are committed to working
with America's cities and local leaders to address the national epidemic
of homelessness there's a lot you and your Administration can do."

The mayor urged Trump to back legislation fighting homelessness,
strengthen several Housing and Urban Development programs and reverse
HUD's proposal barring aid to families composed of individuals of
different legal statuses "if you and your Administration would like to
help Los Angeles and other American cities confront our homelessness
crisis."

Deputy press secretary Judd Deere said in a statement on Tuesday that
Trump has directed his team to expand on homelessness policy.

"Like many Americans, the President has taken notice of the homelessness crisis, particularly in cities and states where the liberal policies of overregulation, excessive taxation, and poor public service delivery are combining to dramatically increase poverty and public health risks," Deere said.

Deere referenced an executive order that Trump signed in June "to confront
the regulatory barriers to affordable housing development, a leading cause
of homelessness."

"President Trump has directed his team to go further and develop a range
of policy options for consideration to deal with this tragedy," he
continued.

Trump has slammed homelessness in California repeatedly.

"What they are doing to our beautiful California is a disgrace to our
country. It's a shame," he said during a campaign rally in Cincinnati last month.

"The world is looking at it. Look at Los Angeles with the tents and the horrible, horrible conditions," he added. "Look at San Francisco, Look at
some of your other cities."

Trump has also made baseless claims about his professed anti-homelessness initiatives in Washington, comparing the city's situation to that of
California cities. Though the President never used the word
"homelessness," he seemed to suggest that he had taken dramatic action at
some point in 2017 to deal with homeless people in Washington.

"You know, I had a situation when I first became President, we had certain areas of Washington, DC, where that was starting to happen, and I ended it
very quickly. I said, 'You can't do that,' " Trump told host Tucker
Carlson during a Fox News interview that aired in July.

"When we have leaders of the world coming in to see the President of the
United States and they're riding down a highway, they can't be looking at that," he added. "I really believe that it hurts our country. They can't
be looking at scenes like you see in Los Angeles and San Francisco."

There is no evidence that Trump did anything early in his presidency that "ended" any problem related to homelessness in the nation's capital.

No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
