Deepertruth: Accomplishments of President Trump for the battle of the Congress

FULFILLING OUR COMMITMENT TO OUR COUNTRY’S VETERANS: 
President Trump is making sure the government fulfills its commitment to our country’s Veterans.

President Trump signed the Veterans Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act to allow senior officials in the Department of Veterans Affairs (V.A.) to fire failing employees and establish safeguards to protect whistleblowers.

• This resulted in Veterans Affairs firing 1,298 employees, suspending 425, and demoting 73.

After it passed unanimously in August 2017, President Trump signed the Veterans Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act.

• This streamlined the lengthy process that veterans undergo when appealing disability benefits claims with the Veterans Affairs.

The President signed the Harry W. Colmery Veterans Educational Assistance Act, an important step in providing our nation’s heroes the support they have earned.

• This funded the post-9/11 GI Bill, which provided educational benefits to veterans, service members, and their family members, including tuition, fees, books, housing, and additional costs.
