This is unacceptable.
The VA plans to eliminate up to 35,000 health care positions while veterans already face staffing shortages and long wait times.

Donald Trump has never been particularly critical of the Saudis, and he has always been very clear about the reasons why.
“They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million. Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much.”
