In her book, Mary Trump discusses at length about the total animosity for the military that was part of the Trump family culture. Fred Trump, the family patriarch, had a pathological hatred for the military and military service. This is where Donald learned to believe that those joining the military were “suckers and losers.” That included his own brother, Mary’s father.

Cutting services to veterans, leaving them unable to speak with a human being, and disregarding their humanity and patriotism is right smack in the middle of Trump’s wheelhouse.
