"The U.S. #DepartmentOfVeteransAffairs, as of Thursday, has ended a new #mortgage-rescue program that so far has helped about 20,000 veterans avoid #foreclosure and keep their homes.

The move leaves millions of military #veterans with far worse options than most other American homeowners if they run into trouble paying their home loans. And it comes at a time when nearly 90,000 #VA loans are seriously past due, with 33,000 of those already in the foreclosure process, according to the data and analytics firm ICE."

Republicans: We support our troops!
Also Republicans: Fuck our veterans!

Protip: If you want an extraconstitutional third term, don’t piss off your military.

Trump has always been a land-owner, he has always relished the thrill of kicking the poors out in favor of maximizing rent profits. The fact that this hits veterans hard is a BONUS to him - they were stupid and weak for choosing the "publicly funded military boondoggle special program" that is a "drain on our budget" and we need to "cut the fat" that is weighing us down. (you saw the tiny hands making gestures as he said that).

Good, hope more veterans become homeless
