Candidate calls for restoration of military on East Coast
The Republican presidential nominee said he would build up military installations along the East Coast and restructure Veterans Affairs, which he called “corrupt in many ways.”
During a visit in Wilmington Tuesday, Donald Trump told The Daily News “vets are not treated properly” by the VA, which has been chastised for long waits and complex registration requirements.
Trump allowed about five press organizations, including The Daily News, to conduct one-on-one interviews at University of North Carolina Wilmington shortly before a rally in support of his presidential bid.
“We’re going to make it absolutely something that people can be proud of,” Trump said of the embattled VA.
While a miles-long line of supporters waited outside Trask Auditorium, the 5,800 capacity was reached hours before Trump’s 2 p.m. rally. Overall, 4,000 supporters were denied entry to a full house.
