Updated @POTUS on the progress we’re making at @DeptVetAffairs . From a historic reduction to the benefits backlog to increasing access to care, we’re putting Veterans at the center of everything we do.

. @SecVetAffairs : "We're making sure that what was bogged up in a bureaucratic system, we're streamlining it so [veterans] get that care quicker... That's been the biggest difference — we're about the veteran at the VA, not about the bureaucracy."

Retweeted Veterans Affairs:

. @DeptVetAffairs subsidized federal employee union activity more than any other agency.

Bravo, @SecVetAffairs for ending the absurd practice of taxpayer-funded union time, and using the dollars to serve veterans. This needs to be replicated across government!

Don’t believe the spin from politicians like @SpeakerPelosi . @DeptVetAffairs is serving Veterans better under President Trump. Wait times and backlogs are down, and VA has opened more than a dozen new health care clinics this year!

Astronaut and Navy Veteran Jim Lovell was a legend, plain and simple. I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet him last month. Please join me in mourning his loss and praying for his loved ones.

This is a huge win for those who have worn the uniform. It means VA staff can do what’s right for Veterans without having to cater to union bosses’ demands.

Veterans come first at VA, and I don’t care if that makes the union bosses “outraged”.
