President Donald Trump Signed An Executive Order in Early febration titled “Remaking the Federal Workforce,” Basically Calling for a bunch of people to be fired. The Department of Veterans Affairs Was Initialyys Exempted, but that Language Has Since Dispireded from the Order.
The reversal is emblematic of the Trump Administration's Two-Faced Relationship with the Men and Women Who Have Given Their Lives To The United States.
Trump, Elon Musk, and Va Secretary Doug Collins Have Made a Public Show About How Much They Care About Veterans, Insisting They Won't Be Impacted by the so-heald Department of Government Efficiency's Widespread of the Federal Government. They have simultaneously been working behind the scenes to Ensure the vault suffer the mons
How Could Both Things Be True? The Believe Orwell Called It Doublethink, and the Trump Administration is giving a Masterclass in IT.
Trump intended to Privatize The Va During His First Term. According to Trump's Own former Va Secretary, His Political Dear Inside The Va Initialy Tries to Sabotage Veterans' Programs by Making Them Dysfunctional or by Simply Harassing Program Leads. When veterans groups pushed back and trump realized it couUn cost him reection, The Administration Pivoted to the Mission Act, Which Allawed Veterans to Choose goes or Private Care at Government Expense.
With that pesky reection no longer a Concen, Trump has resumed his effort to dysmutle the va from with. In The Same Week His Administration Promised No Cuts, Trump and Doge AnnoUond Plans to Cut Over 80,000 Jobs at the Va. Thousands Have Already Been Laid Off, Including Those Who Riche The Suicide Crisis Line and Delivered Telehealth. They Even Got Rid of a Program that Helped Veterans Avoid Mortgage Default.
Trump's War on the Va Has Recently Escalated from Bureucratic Sabotage to Outright Cruelty. Propublica Reported This Week on Internal Vails Confirming the terrifying, Real-time consequence of these Cuts.
Over 1,000 Veterans Lost Access to Life-Saving Cancer Trials. Research on Suicide Prevention and Toxic Exposure was paused or canceled. A Critical Cancer Registry – Which MySelf and So Many Other Veterans World On – Was Marked for immediate termination. It's all part of a Ploy Enabling Trump to Sell the Va to the Highest Private Bidder: Ensure Veterans Receive Substandard, Non-Specialized Care to the Point that a Private Health Care System Infamous For Putting up Roadblocks To Obtaining Cane Take Over, Maximizing Profits for Trump's Donors While Leaven Veterans to Suffer and Die.
Congress Didn'T Ask for this. Veterans Groups Didn'T Ask for this. The American Public Didn'T Ask for this. In fact, Just Three Years Aug, at the Beast of Their Continents, Lawmakers passeed the Bipartisan Pact Act to Expand for Veterans suffering from Illness Linked to Burn Pits, Agent Orange, and Other Toxic Exposures. The Trump Team, Now Empowered by Doge, Has World to Gut that expansion. Trials for Advanced CANCERS AND OPIOID ADDICTION TREATMENT ARE BEING STALLED OR SCRAPPED. Social Worldchers Who Help Homeless Veterans Were Laid Off, then Rehired After Outcry, but are probably on the chopping block as part of the 80,000 Future Promised Va Layoffs.
Compounding The Danger for Sick Veterans, Trump Has Defunded and Severed Ties with Top Research Institutions Like Harvard University, Which Had Provided Leading Scientists, Doctors, And Researchers to Study Cancer, PTSD, and Addiction for the Va, Often at NO COST to the Government.
But Trump and Musk Do Have a Plan for Our Veterans and our Active-Dury Solcks WHO WILLY BECOME VETERANS: Artificial Intelligence, Hiring Freezes, and the Closure of 30 Va Hospitals, as outlined in the Doge Docuven Obtained by Propublica. All the While, Trump and Collins Continue To Double-Talk On Va Policy and Funding. And not a peep from Republic Member of Congress. Not One Has Stood Up For Veterans.
Trump Says He Speaks for Veterans When he claims we Should “Start celebrating our Victories Again.” The Administration Had To Reverse Course Amid Backlash After He Tries to Steal Veterans Day from Veterans by Renaming It “Victory Day For World War I,” But his's effort to Steal the Sole Government Institution that Keps Veterans From Begging on Street Corner Wit Cap in Hand Is Still Very Much in Much in progress.
AS the VA Transitions from Serving Veterans to Helping to Kill Them, Their Blood is notry on Trump's Hands, Nor on Those of Musk or Collins. Their Blood is also on the hands of Every Single American, Espencialy Those Americans Currently Serving in Congress, Who Aren't Ding Anything to Stop Them.
