Sioux City, Iowa (CNN)Donald Trump on Tuesday night did something he doesn't normally do: He stepped off the stage and went into the crowd to speak with a voter.
A question from a wounded veteran on Tuesday compelled Trump to walk off stage and speak with the man, eye-to-eye, and pledge to do his utmost to move his case forward and help him get the care he needs.
"I am going to put pressure on the (Department of Veterans Affairs) like you wouldn't believe," Trump said, asking the veteran for his contact information. "As president, I can guarantee it. As Trump, I can probably say, I'm going to be able to pull it off anyway."
The man was First Sgt. Todd Landen, a 22-year Army veteran. Sitting in his wheelchair in the front row, he asked Trump about his plans to improve health care at the VA -- a topic Trump has often touched on during the campaign.
"With the current administration, warrior care is lacking to say the least," Landen told Trump. "What else can the Trump administration do better than the Obama administration?"
Trump was quick to pledge his support.
"These are our greatest people, the wounded warriors," Trump told the room. "I wanna, I gotta say hello to Todd."

The VA just got the memo from a guy that could fire everybody, build new hospitals and man them with patriots unencumbered by a governmental beaurocracy
And everyday Americans would establish autodraft payments to operate them efficiently ... because we, the people, love our warriors
any Vet or active duty military that votes for Hillary should have their skin removed............
320,000 dead waiting ...
WAKE UP IOWA!!!! You will NOT see Ben Carson making such gestures!!!
Trump 2016!!
The VA facilities need to be scaled back and Vets should be treated at local hospitals etc..
Many VA close for federal holidays !
A local hospital would be shut down for being so reckless.
I am of the opinion that there is something very wrong with these latest polls from that state. There was absolutely nothing that transpired to have made such a radical swing. It defies all logic and I’m sure that Trump has “his people” looking into it.
I’m seeing quite a few that are expressing support for Bernie. Not a vast majority, but enough to be concerning.
I saw Born on the Fourth of July with Tom Cruise last week.
I remember Trump paying off the mortgage to a couple that stopped to help Trump when his limo broke down one day.
Actualy there was. And Iowans didn't like it much.
There is one thing that transpired. The third debates transpired and they had to have these bogus polls land right before the third debates for record ratings.
This is so obvious to me.
Don’t need a VA
PROVIDE FREE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL VETS...
nothing for illegals
No obamaphone
Work for welfare
One illegit kid you get an IUD want it or not
I rest my case. Geez!
