Less than one week in and Trump is already dicking over wounded veterans. Injured on the job defending your country in Iraq or Afghanistan? Sucks to be you, loser! Trump prefers vets with all of their limbs!
To be fair, these aren’t marching orders coming directly from Trump, but from acting directors trying their best to interpret poorly written EOs and to keep their jobs and not get fired. While the VA will obviously still provide benefits to veterans, projects that assist wounded vets with being able to access these services may be affected.

[Veterans’ Affairs] oversees one of the victims of Trump’s executive order: the over one million American veterans who have service-related disabilities. As several leakers pointed out to me, Trump’s order doesn’t just target DEI, but “accessibility” as well — accommodations countless American veterans rely on.
“We are taking steps to close all agency diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) offices and end all DEIA-related contracts,” Hunter told VA staff in his memo. Beyond the simple cruelty, the directive cuts against one of the VA’s core missions: providing care to wounded veterans.
The acting secretary then asks employees to report to him any attempts to undermine Trump’s intent, specifically to report any contracts that have been signed since November 5 that “obscure the connection between the contract and DEIA or similar ideologies.”
“Failure to report this information within 10 days may result in adverse consequences,” he says.
