President-elect Donald Trump recently outlined his plan to end veteran homelessness, an issue he vows to dedicate substantial resources to correcting. Following his landslide victory against Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump has shed light on more details surrounding his agenda for when he and JD Vance step into the White House at the beginning of next year.
Trump began in his video statement, calling out that many American citizens have been neglected while illegal immigrants have been given taxpayer-funded subsidies. “The government has spent nearly $1 billion to house illegal aliens and foreign migrants in expensive luxury hotels, courtesy of you, the American taxpayer, and they want to spend billions and billions more in many states, we’re running out of hotel space because the rooms are all booked up with illegal aliens living in a very large way on the American taxpayers dime,” he said.
The soon-to-be 47th president continued, “Meanwhile, we have 33,000 veterans in this country, who are homeless and living very poorly, I might add, and it’s a shame they’re living in filth and squalor on our streets. Nobody is doing a thing for them. We help them a lot during my four years, and it’s all been dropped. Everything we did for our veterans has been dropped. It’s a disgrace.”
Directly calling out President Biden’s leadership, he said, “Joe Biden puts illegal aliens before homeless veterans, and we cannot let this happen any longer. The American veteran is one of our greats. These are great, great people we have to take care of.” He further explained the actions he will take as soon as he returns to the White House.
“When I am reelected, this national scandal will end on day one, I will sign an executive order to cut off Joe Biden’s massive spigot of funding for shelter and transport of illegal aliens, and redirect a portion of those savings, a very large portion, I might add to provide shelter and treatment for homeless American veterans,” he said.
“I will make it a personal mission to totally eradicate veterans homelessness in America,” Trump said, explaining his goal. “By the end of next term, you’ll see a big difference, just like you did at the VA, just like you did with frankly, everything we touch,” he said. Trump highlighted his record under his first presidency, showing how the country has faced numerous crises under the Biden-Harris administration.
“The border was the best border we’ve ever had. We were energy independent. We were soon going to be energy dominant. Our country was doing great. We had no inflation. We had the best economy in history. We’re going to take care of our veterans. If you have served this nation in uniform, the Trump administration will never betray you, as Joe Biden and the radical left Democrats have done,” he said.

The former president slammed the Democrats, stating, “They have truly betrayed you. Anybody voting for a Democrat is very foolish, very, very foolish. We certainly will not be putting illegal alien law breakers up in ultimate luxury while American Veterans lay shivering on the sidewalks below, unlike Biden, our loyalty will not be to illegal aliens who have violated our borders and come into our country illegally. They’ve trampled our sovereignty. It will be to the brave men and women who enlisted their lives to defend our borders and to protect our sovereignty.” He concluded his powerful statement, “Thank you very much. We’re going to take care of our veterans.”
