The Trump administration has not yet set up a promised White House hotline for veterans’ complaints nearly four months after President Trump took office, Military Times reported.

Trump promised that the private hotline would be “devoted to answering veterans’ complaints of wrongdoing at the VA and ensure no complaints fall through the cracks.” The hotline was to be “active 24 hours a day answered by a real person."

“This could keep me very busy at night, folks,” Trump said during a July 26, 2016 rally. “This will take the place of Twitter.”

White House officials told Military Times they have no updates on when or whether the hotline will be established, while VA officials did not respond to requests for comment. The hotline was included in Trump’s 10-point plan to help veterans, which was recently removed from Trump’s campaign website.

6. Gomer Pyle might be the best vision to keep in mind

as we contemplate the trainwreck of 45's WH. Ineptitude.

(Except Gomer had a good heart)

5. Obama. Hillary.

Their spies are stopping him.

Bigly.

Sad.

7. "Most of the other promises are also unfulfilled"

Dude has to lose support from just about every group out there. Helping veterans with a hotline is definitely within his executive power and budget. He could do it fairly fast if he wanted to.
