    Trump Plan to Gut the VA

    What this administration is doing isn’t about efficiency or improving care. It is about turning the VA into the worst of private health insurance — deny care and maximize shareholder value. Trump and Elon have made that perfectly clear.
    Here’s how:

    FIRST they fired 2400 VA staff. These were probationary hires, many of them Veterans themselves. Fresh talent and internal transfers or promotions — the pipeline for future sustainment of the VA.

    THEN Trump’s former lawyer and current counsellor, Alina Habba, said that the Veterans Trump fired are “not fit to have a job at this moment.” To every Veteran that lost their job: “I really don’t feel sorry for them.” They know what they’re doing — and they don’t care.

    NOW we’ve got leaked reports from inside the VA that Trump wants to fire another 83,000 VA staff. That’s a reduction of nearly 20%. There isn’t a single element of the VA that would be spared by these cuts. If they go through with it, Veterans will die for lack of care.

    And remember: They’re doing this — deriding the Veterans and staff who do the work, firing them, and impacting service — to privatize the VA for good. It is a betrayal. Full stop.

        What would a person who hated the Military and Veterans do if they had all the power and money in the world?
        Would they dodge the draft five times?

        Would they call avoiding sexually transmitted diseases in New York City clubs “my personal Vietnam”?

        Would they publicly and viciously insult Veterans who actually did answer the call and serve — like, John McCain, for instance?

        Would they attack the parents and spouses of fallen American Troops?

        Would they call Americans killed overseas “suckers” and “losers”?

        Would they trample the graves of the fallen for a photo op?

        Would they cruelly fire thousands of Veterans from their jobs, take food from their children, and push them into economic hardship?

        Would they fire qualified and decorated officers for no other reason than because they are black, or a woman?

        Would they put a Fox News host with no qualifications in charge of the Department of Defense?

        Would they set plans to fire 83,000 of the people who administer health care and support for Veterans?

        Donald Trump hates the Military. Donald Trump hates Veterans.

          None of the magatrons will respond to this because they are blind to the real trumpy. They have a romantic picture in the minds about how trumpy is going to help them. When in actuality, trumpy doesn't care about them and has thrown them under the same bus he has thrown the rest of the country.
