VIDEO: Wounded Warrior Sends Trump Into RAGE
Consertive Tribune ^ | Oct 28, 2015 | Staff

Posted on 10/31/2015 2:43:06 AM PDT by Islander7

A wounded warrior and 21-year veteran of the U.S. Army just found himself a new ally in his struggle to get proper care and treatment from the Department of Veterans Affairs: GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Trump met the 101st Airborne vet and his wife, Todd and April, Tuesday evening at a Sioux City, Iowa, campaign event.

When The Donald noticed that the man was in a wheelchair, he left the podium behind and walked into the crowd to meet Todd and April face to face and hear their story.

“With the current administration, warrior care is lacking to say the least, and especially post-service,” Todd explained. “What else will the Trump administration do better than the Obama administration?”

“Is the VA not doing the job?” Trump asked — a rhetorical question if I’ve ever heard one.

April, who serves as her husband’s full-time caregiver, explained that she couldn’t even get an appointment to enroll in a new VA program that was supposed to meet their needs.

. I can’t even try to imagine it with President Barack Obama. The idea of his actually leaving his podium to speak to an American warrior in the crowd is more than my brain can picture.

He really is reaching out to all Americans, isn’t he?

The man has charisma in spades

Give him a red carpet or some water to walk on and maybe he would.

Your explanation is spot on!

More than obammie’s brain could handle, without a head-mount mini TelePrompTer. Of course, there would be zero wounded warriors in The One’s audience.

Are you seeing strange characters in posts and comments on FR lately, like the ones below from your post? If so, any idea why this has been happening?

“Is the VA not doing the job?” Trump asked — a rhetorical question if I’ve ever heard one.

Instead of criticizing Donald Trump for trying to help this man why don't you tell us what your candidate is doing for our Wounded Warriors?

I had a post do the same when I used a word containing a character rather than all letters. Got rid of the contraction and the problem went away, but it means something in the way software is dealing with characters, is not working correctly.

Well, to add to the rage; I’m upset at the 50 soldiers we’re supposed to be sending into Syria ..??

Our best and brightest; our best trained; our most highly skilled.

IS OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT TRYING TO GET RID OF THEM BY SENDING THEM INTO SUCH A HOSTILE AREA WITH NO PLAN AND NO SUPPORT ..????????????????????

The warrior would not have been permitted into the hall

Obama can’t meet the public because he fears for his life
