Summary

Anthony Muro, a Marine veteran and former VA hospital worker, regrets voting for Trump after being fired amid sweeping government cuts led by Elon Musk.

Muro was one of 25,000 probationary (new) federal employees terminated, including 1,700 VA workers. Despite court orders deeming the firings unlawful, he remains on administrative leave.

Muro criticizes Trump’s efficiency drive as harmful to veterans, saying cuts damage morale and care quality.

Many VA staff and veterans fear reduced services and long-term impacts on healthcare. Muro hopes to continue helping veterans despite his uncertain future.

    “Everybody can admit that we need to look at efficiency. It’s been a problem for decades,” Muro said. “[But] when you’re dealing with veterans, you have to be more intentional with your actions. You have to be more surgical. … It’s almost like he’s trying to tear the VA down.”

    When you’re dealing with… anything… mate.
    Yea, it’s almost like he’s trying to tear your whole government apart
    It’s like even now he’s just bummed that it happened to him or people he knows but still doesn’t see the big fucking picture.

      “Tear all government out, except the particular part which benefits me!”

      What a pathetic narcissistic moron.
