Donald Trump Launches Hotline for Veterans, Calls for American Flag to be at Half-Staff....
Breitbart ^ | 07-21-15 | Alex Swoyer

Posted on 07/21/2015 10:37:24 AM PDT by austinaero

First, Trump is calling for all American flags to be flown at half-staff to honor the five military members who were killed in the Chattanooga, Tennessee shooting last week by a “devout Muslim,” as CNN described the shooter.

Second, Trump is establishing a hotline and email address for veterans to share their stories on how the Veterans Administration should be reformed. He pledges that if elected president he will take care of the veteran complaints “very quickly and efficiently like a world-class businessman can do, but a politician has no clue.”

The hotline is 855-VETS-352 and email is veterans@donaldtrump.com.

Trump stated, “This disgraceful omission is unacceptable and yet another example of our incompetent politicians. It is a simple yet meaningful and important gesture that signifies our respect and recognition for these great soldiers who lost their lives. We must do better for all Americans, especially our military. We must Make America Great Again!”

This a brilliant move by Donald Trump.

It certainly is.

It's also a demonstration of the advantages of having virtually unlimited amounts of money to spend.

He couldn’t have set this up in 24 hours.

Sure he could. Call centers and email addresses are a dime a dozen. Especially when you have virtually unlimited amounts of money to spend.

Trump is an autonomous, self directed “mobile cannon” with revision 4 firmware. Boom! Another direct hit! Go Donald!

“It appears Donald Trump is the only Republican using the Lefts Alinsky and Cloward-Piven strategies against them.”

What has he said about the Hildebeast and Bernie Sanders?

Trump has some great advisers and PR guys. No way is he coming up with all this himself

YES! I have a list of stuff that pisses me of about the politicians. I checked to see if Trump had stolen it! Nope, it is still on my desk. So he is inside my head and I don’t care!

....”Trump again is stealing all the attention to himself”....

He’s not ‘stealing’ anything....he’s acting on what he thinks needs to be done in areas he has control .

The public is contacting Trump...this is not just coming from his PR people...and Trumps paying attention I think....so should politicians but on the whole they don’t much.

Trump reads and uses social networks....and that’s where the voices of people are heard.

I agree but Congress has funds they could draw from green energy failures or abortion funding or any number of places where waste is evident.

I listened to a committee hearing yesterday on Obama’s Consumer Protection Finance Board and they are spending $150 million on a brand new office building for themselves with a lobby that boasts a 2-story waterfall feature; insane.

So Congress could find much more money than Trump has and address the problem but they won’t whereas Trump puts his money where his mouth is. He’s got my respect.

The news cycle for the weekend will likely be dominated by vets who have been abused by the VA system. Thus sucking the air out of the room for another week. Just in time for the debates.
