  2. It’s not a betrayal if you got told the truth but refused to accept it. 

  3. Oh no. He’s doing everything he said he was going to do. Who could’ve seen this coming!?

  4. You were not betrayed, you were too stupid to see Trump is a psychopath and a pathological lier and too lazy to spend 30 minutes on the Internet to inform yourself about his program and actions

  6. Thanks for your service , uhhh…what was that term that Trump used? Suckers? Thanks suckers!

  7. Odd.

    The guy that called vets losers and suckers doesn’t give a fuck. The guy who tore down McCain for being a POW even after he died.

    Could it be he doesn’t respect your line of work

  8. Trump betrayed so many during his first term, if they saw that and said “not my problem” my response to these cries of anguish is the same.

  9. Not sure why they’re so angry they’re getting everything they ever wanted.

    Trump/Musk announced 2 TRILLION in government spending cuts on the campaign trail. It’s not Trump or Musk’s fault if they had no idea exactly what cutting that much money would actually mean for their lives.

    btw it still baffles me that his supporters were cheering when trump announced on the campaign trail that he wanted to cut the department of education. Trump supporters are bafflingly stupid people

  12. You weren’t betrayed. You are getting what they promised.

    Instead of being mad this happened, he should take pleasure in knowing it also happened to a liberal

    Effing idiot

  13. *”In its press release Thursday and sent again to WSB late Friday, the VA said the more than 1,000 layoffs would save $93 million a year, which would then be redirected to veterans’ health care, benefits and services.”*

    With all the employees they fire, who is going to serve those veterans in their health care, benefits, or services?

    There won’t be anyone there to provide those services.

  14. I just want to remind everyone that the military is split 60/40 Republican, Democrat. With Republicans skewing older.

    Something like 85+% of vets who are POC (black, Hispanic, etc) are Democrats.

  15. I have yet to meet someone who voted for Trump upset by anything he and his team have done

  16. I’m a vet and I knew he was going to cut the VA. Right now it is VA staff. Soon they care going to cut the disability ratings of veterans, especially those at 30% or less.

  17. As a very liberal service member. Fuck these guys. Our oath is to the constitution, while tRump is using it to wipe his ass.

  18. Flowchart:

    Did you vote for Trump?

    If yes, this is what you voted for.

    If no, Did you vote third party or abstain?

    If yes, this is what you’re okay with

    If no, Did you vote Harris?

    If yes, Holy shit I’m so sorry this is happening to you

  19. Schadenfreude is fun, but I am really hoping to see an angry, fed-up public that is ready to stop this lunatic administration by whatever means necessary and willing to put aside political differences to reinstate democracy and constitutional integrity.

  20. Can’t be betrayed by someone who was never on your side.

  21. He meant it when he said military people were losers and suckers. We warned them.

  22. We told you and told you and told you and told you. Your ears are only painted on.

  23. If you are a vet and voted for this turd bucket and feel betrayed.. all I can say to you is, this is what you wanted. 🫵🏼🤡🫵🏼🤷🏻‍♂️

  24. > “Why is this happening to us? I’ve been here too long for this to be happening,” Feliz said.

    Translation: Why is this happening to me? I’m one of the good ones. He was supposed to go after them.

    Sorry dude. Trump and Musk don’t know you and don’t care to know you. Bye. Vote better next time. If we get a next time.

  25. The sooner people get their heads out the sand and realize this is not a matter of Red vs. Blue and quite literally The Rich vs. The Poor we might actually get somewhere. ALL of us who aren’t the richest of the rich, are getting screwed. Wake up folks.

  26. Every time I come across another sad tale of of a gullible, stupid Trump supporter being screwed over by Trump, I think “today, I will have some sympathy.”

    And every day I am wrong.

  27. Any AD/veteran who supported tRump is in violation of the oath they took. tRump is the DOMESTIC ENEMY we swore to defend the constitution against. The oath I took over 50 years ago has NEVER EXPIRED

  28. You weren’t betrayed. You just thought it wouldn’t happen to you. Fuck around and find out. Maybe one day people will realize billionaires and corporations don’t care about them instead of boot licking.

    Also, he’s said plenty of times that he hates the military. Apparently you weren’t listening because you’re idiots.

  29. Any veteran who voted for Trump after Jan 6 betrayed their own morals and oath to this country.

  30. As a Black man there’s nothing as funny as seeing Trump people motivated by hurting others realizing that they also fucked themselves over as well.

    I keep saying……racism is a hell of a drug and Trump people are HIGHLY addicted.
