Veterans are 6% of the adult population but 30% of the federal workforce (they get preference in hiring). Which means Trump and Musk are already firing thousands of people who put their lives at risk for their country, many with disabilities they acquired in their service.

All the more disappointing to see veterans vote for the Republican Party. 65% voted for Trump in ‘24. Let’s see that vote share flip for Democrats in ‘26 and ‘28. No one who served should vote for the party that turned their back on veterans.

You all know exactly that it is and you all are ok with Trump shitting all over that fact. Yep, Disabled Vets are diverse, deserve equal access, pay and opportunity, and should be included. Let's call what they are doing exactly what it is - exclusion.

It’s intentional, Putin needs to weaken our military. This is how you do it, you don’t take care of people who risk their lives for you. They know that that’s why people sign up or getting listed. So they’re following out the core of the military’s own mantra. Protect our own.

Why is this surprising ANYONE! Remember him making fun of disabled his first stent? Remember he robbed veteran’s of money raised for them his first stent? Remember he was a slum landlord kicking families to the curve? DO YOU REMEMBER, you member!!!

Trump got 5 “deferments” from the US military draft because a corrupt doctor was willing to sign off on him having “bone spurs”. After exploiting cheap Black South African labour to enrich himself, Musk fled to Canada to avoid conscription in the South African military. Fuck them both.

Meh. What does he need from them in the future? He's already received what they can give: their votes. He is under no obligation to them. And, even if he were under an obligation, he would weasel out of it. That's the way he rolls. You knew he was a snake when you picked him up.

I asked my Senator, Joni Ernst, SPECIFICALLY about this very issue. She responded by assuring me that DOGE has read-only access to payment systems at Treasury. Republicans in Congress are avoiding this Veterans issue like the plague.

She lives in fantasy land. DOGE has almost certainly downloaded and manipulated terabytes of sensitive data. This is a huge security risk at the VERY TIME cybersecurity against Russia has been scaled back. Join the dots. The USA is now a Russian ally and it might well be renamed Trumpistan.

The fate of veterans' jobs and benefits now rests with a man who left South Africa in part to avoid mandatory conscription and another who bought himself a dubious, if not fraudulent, medical exemption from military service at the height of the Vietnam War.

Thousands of people out of work in a job market that can't hire them all. Also facing the loss of VA services AND all assistance they'd qualify for being out of work now. Thousands of desparate people trained to fight.

61%-65% of veterans and active duty voted for this. It was always clear that dismantling the federal workforce was part of the plan. We saw it coming, but so many veterans and their family members seemed to not believe it would really happen. I struggle with empathy now. #vetfamily

I've never understood why vets would be keen on him when he has over and over insulted the military, the idea of sacrifice, didn't want injured soldiers around him, didn't go to a cemetary in France as it was raining, spat on war heroes like McCain and so on. Why would vets like him???

Donald Trump, the pied piper of bone spurs & his administration hate veterans. As long as these clowns continue to govern I’ll discourage young men & women from serving in America’s armed forces & steer them toward a 4 year university or trade school until our nation regains its sanity & reason.

Silly me. I'll trust the neighbor down the street who is an ER doc and comes down on his day off if 1 gets a retainer caught in their throat before I trust pooty/musk/trump/vance/johnson, etc. with anything.

Trump cannot comprehend the idea of service. To the grifter, the world is made up of "suckers and losers", especially the military. Cadet Bone Spurs has made clear his contempt for the military - except as an extension of his power. The test will come when he gives his first clearly illegal order.

Took a month but finally getting some to realize those who were hurt most are veterans. Disabled Vets even more so. While telling us the guy who offered cash bounties on dead Americans in Afghanistan is a victim. Trump hates the fact the military wouldn't back his first coup.

History is not Trumps Strong Suit! It must be the Bone Spurs! It’s just Incredible how his Facts and Figures are straight out of his A$$. His MisInformation, repeated over and over, feeding the sheeple!
