What about offering all veterans a universal basic income for life, regardless of post-service jobs and means testing whilst doing some of the post-service jobs using agentive AI - ? Too socialist
All these cuts will increase unemployment, inflation on the rise, the trade war will cause less international trade, and the stock market has been dropping for weeks..sound familiar. The great depression. History repeating.
I know a few people that collect 100% DV benefits and they lied their way to get to it. Maybe start there. Cause that’s almost $4000 per month for someone that’s not disabled and could go to better deserving people or uses.
Here we have it again - trump never SERVED, DEFENDED, PROTECTED NOR SACRIFICED FOR AMERICA LIKE OUR BRAVE MEN & WOMEN, VETERANS WHO PAID THE PRICE WHILE THIS CONVICTED SEX ABUSER/FELON/BUSINESS FRAUD RAN FAR & FAST & HAS DONE NOTHING FOR OUR MILITARY BUT DISPOSE OF THEM FOR NO GOOD REASON!
Trump doesn't care! Trump and his minions will be paid guests on all media platforms and just lie about supporting veterans.
Unfortunately MAGA will cheer and believe them.
Must be fentanyl from Canada killing Russian veterans that were eating dogs. So the aluminum tarifs will solve gun problems as Mexico (52nd state) border will save electric cars from crypto sharks.
Well, well, well…donald is fucking around with the Department that takes care of the ones who took Billions of bullets for All of Us, I see. This will not end well for those “office generals” who drafted this attack and pulled the trigger on this ambush, many are saying. They should retreat.
America, where is the fucking outrage?! This draft dodger and his real boss want to take away care from veterans, who have served and earned all and more that is given to them!! They are trying to privatize veteran care. This shit has to stop!!
I’m a vet
I know how the president feels about veterans
I wish I could say I was shocked by this, but again, I know how he regards this nation’s veterans
Great news!
More money for the recent owner of CNN and Trumptard elite Jeff Licht and its board of directors!!
They can all afford the bigger yacht and second mansion in the Bahamas with money that should go directly to the heroes who protect free speech. For them.
For us.
I'd be curious to find out how many of those are veterans themselves? Because many, if not almost all, veterans were likely hired under DEI initiatives. Be ashamed.
Horrible but it’s a distraction against more insidious infiltration. Why aren’t you reporting on the potential lives that will be lost in Ukraine from the intel and aid blackout? It’s murder and Repubs will be complicit. Ahh, you’d be banned from the WH.
Ever heard of the HIGH SUICIDE RATE AMONG VETERANS?
How much more stress, aggravation and depression is the Trump administration going to inflict on our men and women who served our country, and on their entire families, by forcing them onto unemployment lines, welfare, etc.?
Say it out loud. Trump isn’t making these cuts, breaking these alliances or starting these trade wars because he’s an idiot. It’s not by accident. These are the direct instructions of a foreign adversary weakening our country in advance of future power plays.
Say it. People need to hear it now.
Screwed over by the country that they defended and handing them over to parasite billionaires who are going to take all their money. The militairy should act against this act of treason.
But Commander Bonespurs loves our veterans! He has said so MANY times. He promised to help them! How does cutting 70,000 VA employees help our veterans?
Well to be fair ... Trump thinks veterans who need help are suckers and losers. So there's that. It shouldn't surprise anyone. It will ... but it shouldn't.

The GOP does not care about Veterans. This is blatant in the proof of their actions. Don't believe the lies they peddle about supporting the Warfighter and Veterans if one of the first things they do in power is to remove support for those who served!
I understand 25% of employees at the DofVA are veterans themselves. So that's 17,500 on to the scrapheap. I wonder how Veterans For Trump can look at their fellow vets in the eye? 5* General Bonespurs has really got it in for vets. Sad.
People, even those who voted for trump, thought Veterans care, Social Security, Medicare etc were untouchable!
These guys are here to bankrupt every American to enrich themselves!
Until Nov 2026, Trump will do many crazy things with no guardrail. He has nothing to lose. Repubs will obey for now.
They’ll see trump’s numbers plummeting, nonstop as the economy struggles. They’ll try to split unsuccessfully.
If Dems take advantage, it will be a blowout. Then comes impeachment!
America is heading for all out civil war, many Americans just don’t see it yet as Trump will never step down. He wants presidency for life and until that ends, he’ll cling to the crown he’s created for himself.
Repubs too weak to stand against him. They won’t as they are too scared.
The problem is Trump and musk are calling all of these job cuts as savings to the American taxpayer, and technically that actually might be true except all those jobs were likely necessary, and so Trump is doing this simply to provide a big enough number for the tax cuts he’s after. Sad
This is a troubling move, especially for an agency that serves those who have served our country. Reducing staff at the VA could significantly impact the care veterans receive. It raises serious questions about the priorities of the administration.
So this is the way America thanks it’s veterans. You know, the ones who volunteered time & time again to do the nations bidding regardless of the danger & were promised the nation would take care of them. For all those who voted for Trump - shove your “thanks for your service” up your ass!

They are everywhere.
REPORT ACCURATELY!

Guys who need the benefits promised to them when they signed their names.
It’s getting very hard to care about them when they refuse to acknowledge what they did.
Unfortunately MAGA will cheer and believe them.
So bright. He’s always a step ahead💁♂️

Musk - fired Twitter and Tesla employees.
Zuckerberg - fired Meta employees.
Bezos - fired Amazon employees.
The billionaires used their tax savings to fire employees and donate to Felon Trump.

61% who voted supported the creature. Fools.

It’s whether they’ll drag the rest of the world with them that worries me..
