While watching tv I have seen the T-Mobile commercial with the major league baseball player Bryce Harper a number of times where they say If you tweet a video with the #HatsOff4Heroes, T-Mobile will donate a dollar to Team Rubicon, and will donate at least $1 million dollars.
After seeing this commercial a few times, I got to thinking of someone who really doesn’t care about vets, and doesn’t get it; Donald Trump.
April 9, 2018, Senator Chuck Schumer (douchebag) asked for $15 million dollars to get money to get money for a VA hospital on Long Island. As DCReport.org wrote; “neglect to the center’s buildings is so severe that some surgeries have been canceled because some operating rooms cannot be made sterile.” Here is a way that the government could’ve gotten this money, Trump play less fucking golf. According to Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), “President Trump spent a full third of his first year in office-122 days-visiting his commercial properties.” It’s honestly worthless to point hypocrisy when discussing Trump, but fuck it.
“Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf. Worse than Carter.” That was a Trump tweet from 2014.
If you don’t care that the Orange Jackass plays a shit tone of golf, CREW also notes that “seventy executive branch officials, more than 30 members of Congress and more than a dozen state officials visited Trump Organization properties during the first year of the Trump administration.” He’s wasting tax payer money, and he’s making other government officials waste tax payer money (double-douche).
During his run for presidency, Donald Trump stopped by the Retired American Warriors Political Action Committee in Herndon, Virginia. There he said, “When you talk about the mental health problems when people come back from war and combat, and they see things that maybe a lot of the folks in this room have seen many times over, and you’re strong and you can handle it, but a lot of people can’t handle it.” That’s right. If you have PTSD, it’s because you’re a weak bitch!
Furthermore, Trump tried proposing an end to a benefit that disabled veterans got when reaching the minimum age for Social Security benefits. These veterans get $35,000 yearly, not a lot of money annually, but for Trump that was too much money. Trump wanted that number to be less than $13,000 annually.
Here’s more things that Trump wanted cut that helped out veterans:
Ending veteran unemployability benefits
reduce housing vouchers for veterans
Trump wants to fire federal employees, meaning veterans, because federal civil service law gives significant preference to veterans
Conservatives who support Trump like to claim that America is theirs. That they love America and the troops more than the left, but they support a president who as David Cay Johnston wrote that Trump’s administration “proposed to nickel-and-dime disable veterans-literally.”
