Take a number on what Trump won't pay for. This is who he is. He is not paying for it so he can take that money for his Billionaire friends and himself.

My mother’s cousin, David Hood served in Vietnam, was exposed while on active duty to Agent Orange, developed leukemia, became politically active in Oklahoma working on veterans’ rights, and died of the disease after participating in trials at NIH.

That is awful. It’s his affinity for anything Orange

The use of Agent Orange is also a war crime.... that the 🇺🇲 has never been held accountable for, b/c it conveniently is not a member of the International Crimes Court

My cousin who was in Vietnam, died at the age of 30 from leukemia…agent orange causes cancers

Immorality aside, after China what country has the largest rare earth metal deposits? Yep, Vietnam. Are members of the administration holding a contest for who can do the dumbest most evil thing?

I visited Vietnam and saw with my own eyes the generational damage agent orange caused. Its use was a war crime

Cruelty runs through this regime.

Absolutely terrible

This is disgraceful. Not only to the people of Vietnam harmed by Agent Orange, but to all US veterans.

Another sign this administration will betray anyone.

I’m an OIF/OEF vet. My father was a Vietnam vet (and was exposed to Agent Orange). My grandfather was a WWII vet.

Thank you for your family's service. My dad worked on The Bomb, all of that generation served in some capacity. The Bloated Yam is a disgrace.

Thanks for those words. It means a lot.

This regime has also stopped landmines frm being cleared in Vietnam and many other nations. These are landmines left by the US made by US corporations.

I lived and worked there, and I have the cancer to show for it.

My cousin died of multiple myeloma as a result of agent orange exposure in Vietnam. He was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart. This administration continues to sink to new lows by the hour.

arcticfox87.bsky.social•1 day ago

So sorry about your cousin's suffering!
A shameful legacy for the US.
