Donald Trump made a promise and he delivered.
In October, the Republican presidential candidate made a commitment to U.S. Army First Sgt. Todd Landen (Ret.) very, very personal. In front of a large crowd at a Sioux City, Iowa, event, he promised the wounded veteran and his family that he would get action to end the runaround Landen was getting from the Veterans Administration.
"I am going to put pressure on the VA like you won't believe," Trump said then. "As president, I can guarantee it. As Trump I can say, 'I'll probably be able to pull it off anyway.'" Trump told Landen and his wife and family. "Because they know it won't stop. It will be easier to take Todd and just say 'Look, we're gonna work with you."
Within a day, Trump's staff were communicating with the family and the VA. Now, back pay and medical records issues that were making life difficult for Landen and his family have now been resolved, senior Trump adviser Daniel Scavino, Jr. announced via YouTube and Twitter on Thursday night.

Good work.
Businessmen get things done. Politicians just talk about it.
He is going to make a Great President....his respect for the Veterans and the hard working Americans, is humbling for him in my view.
I saw this browsing through WJ just a few minutes ago and noticed the same thing I’ve said from day 1.
Trump gets things done.
As the article said, he did this just as a candidate and businessman, think what he could do as president...
Just makes me grin.
So why couldn’t the bureaucracy do this in the first place?
Answer: ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY.
And the naysayers claim Trump doesn’t know how to deal with the government.
I’m sure the Cruz walking dead will be here soon.
No good deed goes unpunished!
When he is President, Donald Trump will do the same for America.
No more terror supporters in the Oval Office, DOJ, TSA, Homeland Security.
Dont forget appointing a committee to study the issue!
*sigh*
“Can Do”
I’m just totally behind this guy all the way!!!
I am one of the Cruz walking dead. Good job Trump!!!!!!!
Zero bows down before the needs & demands of illegals and terrorists but will not stop to help those that have defended our nation.
What truly sickens me is his absolute contempt for American soldiers & military might, whilst sending those very soldiers off to serve his agenda.
Politicians just talk about a problem because neither side wants the problem solved. Dims want as an issue so their voters will see them making life as difficult as possible for our military - in this case. GOPe wants the issue so they can pose for their voters as if they were fighting for them.
Conservatives are by nature problem solvers.
go Trump! So far he has kept a Truck factory in the uSA from closing, caused ford to give up on a Mexican plant and now this. And he isn’t even elected to anything yet! Looks like maybe—he the Man with a plan.
Imagine an American as President.
Painting with a broad brush? I love Cruz and would vote for him in heartbeat, as I would for Trump. And if Trump is elected I hope would pick Cruz for his VEEP and then turn around and appoint him for the Extreeme Court when that day comes
