WHERE IS DONALD TRUMP'S PROMISED 24-HOUR HOTLINE FOR VETERANS?
Donald Trump’s promised 24-hour hotline for veterans’ complaints is yet to be established, four months into his presidency.
The Republican said during his campaign that a phone service for veterans would be “active 24 hours a day and answered by a real person” as part of his 10-point pledge to improve the lives of former servicemen and women. Speaking at a rally on July 26, Trump told the crowds a hotline “could keep me very busy at night, folks,” adding: “This will take the place of Twitter.”
But four months into his first term, Trump has not established the promised hotline, nor fulfilled a number of promises laid out in his 10-point plan for veterans, The Military Times reported Sunday. Set at number 6 on Trump’s list of promises for veterans, the hotline was intended to “be devoted to answering veteran’s complaints of wrongdoing at the VA and ensure no complaints fall through the cracks.”
There has been no word as to why the hotline has not been established, nor if plans remain in place to set one up. And the 10-point plan has since been removed from Trump’s campaign webpage, with a link to his veterans’ pledge bringing up a "page not found" note.
