> About a year ago, President Trump issued an executive order to tackle veterans’ homelessness nationwide. Among other things, it promised to house 6,000 veterans on the sprawling VA campus in West Los Angeles. It’s not a new idea. In fact, projects and court cases have dragged on for decades around building housing for vets there. And many LA veterans welcome President Trump’s proposal to get something done, but now they are raising questions about what, if anything, is happening, as NPR’s Quil Lawrence reports.
Remember all those “we need to help the homeless veterans before refugees” Facebook memes and tweets?

There is a reason why his econ teacher called orange felon the dumbest student he ever seen.
Don’t worry LA. Spencer will take care of it. /s ( just in case it isn’t obvious)

Veterans and military personnel are suckers and losers per the orange pedo, why is any of this surprising?

Conman doing conman things. Only marks and pathetic watered down media headlines are still lamenting the broken promises of a pathological liar. The lies and broken promises are not the exception. They are the rule.

Imagine how many he could of housed if not for the fucking huge tax breaks for billionaires.

What’s worse is that the state of California dedicated a billion dollars (prop 1) specifically to house homeless Veterans but can’t get projects off the ground because the LA regional VA is so severely underfunded

Per usual, Trump is selling a bill of goods.

Vets will still vote for him so I can’t have too much sympathy

Wait, trump **LIED**?? He made promises to make himself look good, then didn’t follow through at all?! The guy who called American service members “suckers and losers” doesn’t actually care about veterans?? This is unbelievable! /s

The pathological liar who was documented as lying more than 30,000 times in public during his first term has been lying again?
That guy?!? Inconceivable! /s

Go talk to the people of Lordstown, Ohio. He promised them their GM jobs were staying.

By now, everything he promised has resulted in lies.

He just says random shit that sounds good to him, gets cheered for it and doesn’t follow through. He doesn’t give a damn.

How Americans continue to vote for Trump and the Republicans astound me more and more every day. Trump supporters love being by do and cheated on. And yet they keep putting for this even as their standard of living drops, inflation continues. They still love this man through all the abuse.

Trump promising to help anyone except his corrupt inner circle is a lie. Please learn this lesson.

One of my favorite Biden quotes is: “Don’t tell me what your values are. Show me your budget and I’ll tell you what your values are.”

Oh it’s because he doesn’t give a shit about veterans. Happy to explain that to anyone who hasn’t figured it out yet.

We are going on 50 years of republicans lying about helping veterans to get elected and then absolutely screwing them over in every way they can. 50 fucking years of the same lie with the same results and veterans STILL vote republican as a majority.. I have no words for the stupidity of this country’s electorate at this point.
