Trump attacks Democratic candidate who is a veteran as 'weak' on veterans

As voters head to the polls today in Virginia's gubernatorial race, President Trump called the Democratic candidate who served as a U.S. Army medic for eight years "weak on our great veterans."

"Ralph Northam will allow crime to be rampant in Virginia. He’s weak on crime, weak on our GREAT VETS, Anti-Second Amendment...and has been horrible on Virginia economy," Trump tweeted from South Korea, where he is in Asia on a five-country tour.

According to his biography, Northam served as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army, later rising to the rank of major. Northam served eight years of duty as an Army doctor, including during Operation Desert Storm in the Persian Gulf War.

about helping veterans? Shit, that's what.

He has been insulting our American POWs and veterans since he and his russian-republican pals stole the election from the American people.

What a phony.
