U.S. President Donald Trump visited Los Angeles, California, on Sept. 18, 2019, and an image containing false information about the West Coast city circulated on social media around the same time.The picture appears to have initially been published in 2015 by the British Daily Mail tabloid, which reported at that time it showed shacks that had been built by gypsies in Paris, France. The article decried the building of shanty town villages in one of Europe's great cities, even as human rights groups pointed out that Roma people are European Union citizens. During his visit to California, Trump struck a similar tone, criticizing California for an ongoing housing crisis and stating that homeless people are occupying our best highways, our best streets, our best entrances to buildings. California's major cities are indeed experiencing a rise in homelessness, driven largely by a lack of affordable housing. But the above image does not depict Los Angeles, nor was it taken in 2019. Therefore we rate this claim Miscaptioned.
