Once again, Trump was trying to make people think he cares about Veterans, just in case he ran for President in 2015!

I think Donald Trump cares about the vets and military not because of politics but because he understands the freedoms we have today!

It is like the GOP is afraid of speaking out for our vets because it’s not politically correct.

Donald Trump Says He'll Pay for Military Burials Halted Because of Shutdown

Palm Beacher Doanld Trump tweeted this morning:

Five U.S. soldiers were killed last week, and because of the federal government shutdown, the Department of Defense did not have the authority to authorize "death gratuities and other key benefits for the survivors of service members killed in action." Families typically get $100,000 (this is usually wired within days so families can pay for flights and expenses) plus a 12-month housing stipend. Though the benefits will likely be paid when the government starts up again, the glitch was seized up on Congress yesterday, where politicians blamed one another and vowed to fix it.

Six minutes after his initial tweet, Trump generously offered to take control (and blame Obama, rather than House Republicans), tweeting:

This story is from OCTOBER 9, 2013. I don’t think he was running for president at the time.

Yes, but, even then, he was scheming to steal the 2016 election from the GOPee!

No other candidate is highlighting the veterans the way Trump is. If this is scheming, then it’s excellent, first class scheming.

That dastardly Trump, doing the right things, saying the right things, taking care of our veterans. How dare he!!

Just wondering, did he ever actually pay for any?

So Trump gets painted with a broad brush no matter what he’s done or does? I think you are confusing him with the self serving political class in this country. Something he has never before been a part of.

If the U.S. Government doesn't give the money necessary for the burials of our military personnel, I will.

Well did he?

While the Federal Government did not have the money to bury the veterans they could still find the cash to study the sex life of the Central American toad and other such really important matters.

You sounded like you were one of the "I hate Trump" cabal that exists to nitpick here on Freerepublic these days.

Cavuto is on right now saying the gov’t is shutting down and that SSA will not send out checks this month. What’s this all about? huh

I think the /sarc was pretty obvious. But I still had to chime in.

I doubt it. SS payments are legally considered “mandatory”. They aren’t subject to the appropriations process. I don’t think they’ve ever been held back in previous “shutdowns”. But with Obama you never know. He could illegally order them withheld to blame the Republicans.

I think we need a FR specific sarcasm tag, but then it wouldn't be sarcasm.
