‘Sick People!’ Trump Turns Veterans Day Speech at Arlington Cemetery Into MAGA Rally During Wild Detour

 

President Donald Trump briefly turned his Veterans Day speech at Arlington National Cemetery on Tuesday into a MAGA rally during a wild detour.

And without further ado, here’s said detour, which included a denunciation of “thieves,” “sadists,” and “sick people” that Trump claimed his administration fired “thousands” of:

And under my leadership, we’re also fighting for the great veterans who have always, always been there for us, and especially when we needed them and needed them most. In nine months, the Trump administration has cut the backlog of VA benefit claims in half. That’s a big achievement and Doug [Collins] is gonna get it down to zero.

During the Biden administration, the backlog exploded like we had never seen before, and I’m gonna eliminate 100% of that backlog. We’re moving at that pace and already we’ve processed more than 3 million backlog claims, the most of any year in the history of the VA. We’ve added more than one million extra service hours across the VA centers, and we’ve opened 20 new facilities in 13 states, something that people said just not possible to do. We also have brought back VA choice and VA accountability, taken away by the Biden administration. So that when you have to wait online, you go out and you get yourself a doctor, we pay for the doctor if you have to wait. And the other thing is we fired thousands of people who didn’t take care of our great veterans. They were sadists, they were sick people, they were thieves, they were everything you want to name. And we got rid of over 9,000 of them. And then when Biden came in, he hired them back, many of them, but we got rid of them and I think we got rid them permanently. We replaced them with people who love our veterans, not people who are sick people.

We’re also confronting the challenge of veterans’ homelessness, and earlier this year, I signed an order establishing the National Center for Warrior Independence to house up to 6,000 veterans in need. And we will not stop until we have ended the tragedy of homeless veterans once and for all. I’d see in New York where people that came into our country illegally, they came in illegally, would be put up in hotels, and veterans would be sitting on the sidewalk outside of that hotel where these other people are put in. And many of the people that came in were put in from prisons. They were murderers, they were drug dealers. They were people that we didn’t want in our country. They were staying in hotels, luxury hotels, and our veterans were sitting on the sidewalks, watching them go in. I said that’s never going to happen under this administration.

I also signed the VA Home Loan Program Reform Act. Because no veterans should be kicked out of their home for what they call a late payment. It’s not happening. And I’m pleased to report that since January, the veterans’ unemployment rate has fallen by more than 26%. That’s amazing, worked hard on that.
