Trump speech at Arlington [View all]

Starts with
Thanking Mikey Johnson saying he will go down in history as “a great man.”

Says he has a 92% approval rating! Says it’s better than the 37% approval rating of Biden. How amazing for him. Gee. I’ll bet Chi and Vlad are really proud of him.

Annouces his “PROCLAMATION” that he has renamed Veterans’ Day to VICTORY DAY because RUSSIA and France have “Victory Day” and “we’re the ones who won the war.” More of. his burning jealousy over the easy life and fun times that Vladimir gets to have and he doesn’t.

States we won WWI and WWII because the department was called the “WAR” department, but then we changed it and quit winning because “politically correct” so now it’s the WAR department.

Says he has cut the backlog of VA claims in half. I work with vets every day at work. IF they have cut the backlog I can tell you myself from what I have seen - They are cutting the backlog by making the VA totally and completely unnavigable. It’s easy to reduce your claims if you make them IMPOSSBLE TO FILE in the first place. That’s how you take care of the front end. They are taking care of the back end by simply dissapearing the claims altogether. Since the new administration has taken power, things we previously filed for like oncology consults and denture appointments just simply dissapeared. Poof.

LIES about Joe Biden saying he stopped the Veterans Choice Program but now it’s going again. He’s previously claimed Veterans Choice Program was started by him and repeated that claim ad nauseum, it was passed under President Obama.

Went off on a tangent fantasiizing that he fired 9000 SADISTS, SICK PEOPLE and THEIVES in the VA who hated our veterans - but then Biden hired them back? So apparently he believes he did this in the first term, then evil Biden came along, and then “Trump" fired them again. He says this like there’s some army, a wanton horde of invading civil servants taking these agencies by force. He’s so fucking weird and stupid.

Claims luxury hotels were being rented by Biden to house immigrants from mental institutions and prisons.

Waddles away from the podium. Wanders over and stands next to that puffy, mangey eyeliner salesman. Both of them look miserable and inconvenienced.
