But Trump hasn’t done anything for the VA 

 

What exactly has he done for them?

https://www.militarytimes.com/news/2018/09/21/trump-oks-the-largest-va-budget-ever/

 

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump signed the Department of Veterans Affairs fiscal 2019 budget into law on Friday, giving the department a funding boost of more than 6 percent and pushing the agency’s total spending over $200 billion for the first time.

The president finalized the bill at a ceremony held in the North Las Vegas VA Medical Center, surrounded by federal officials and local veterans. He praised the massive spending measure as another promise kept by his administration.

“With this funding bill we have increased the VA’s budget to the largest ever,” he said. “We are delivering the resources to implement crucial VA reforms.”

The bill includes $1.1 billion for the start of a VA electronic health records overhaul and $400 million for opioid abuse prevention within the department, both efforts touted by Trump in the past.

So, he wanted to get re-elected. He still said our soldiers were suckers and losers.

The POS who said this:


"He's not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured." Link

 

And this:

 

“‘We’re not going to support that loser’s funeral,’ and he became furious, according to witnesses, when he saw flags lowered to half-staff. ‘What the f--- are we doing that for? Guy was a f---ing loser,’ the president told aides." Link

 

Didn't say this? 

 

“Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed. Link

That's pretty good, from a guy who (allegedly) thinks they're "suckers" and "losers."

McCain was an honorable POW.

The people who served with him would grant that, but other than that he was not well thought of.

Really not well thought of.

 

His political career is a different subject.
