Trump doesn't think Veterans who have PTSD are weak, he followed up afterwards saying they need more medical and mental heath assistance which I totally agree with. Annoying that people are misquoting and attacking. Probably one of my few defenses of Trump
"When you talk about the mental health problems, when people come back from war and combat, they see things that maybe a lot of the folks in this room have seen many times over and you're strong and you can handle it, but a lot of people can't handle it. And they see horror stories, they see events that you couldn't see in a movie, nobody would believe it, and we need a mental health help and medical and ... it's one of the things that I think is least addressed, and it's one of the the things I hear the most about when I go around and talk to the veterans. So we're going to have a very, very robust level of performance having to do with mental health. We are losing so many great people that could be taken care of if they had proper care. You know when you hear 22 suicides a day ... that should never be. So we're going to be addressing that very strongly, and the whole mental health issue is going to be a very important issue when I take over. And the VA is going to be fixed in so many ways, but that's definitely one of the ways we're going to help. And that's in many respects the number one thing we have to do because I think it's really been left behind."
