Donald Trump’s insinuation Monday that military members and veterans who suffer from mental health issues are not strong because they “can’t handle” what they’ve seen in combat is proof that the Manhattan billionaire “is an ignorant man,” Vice President Joe Biden said.
“When you talk about the mental health problems, when people come back from war and combat — and they see things that maybe a lot of the folks in this room have seen many times over and you’re strong and you can handle it, but a lot of people can’t handle it,” Trump said during a question-and-answer session Monday with a veterans group in Virginia. “And they see horror stories. They see events that you couldn’t see in a movie. Nobody would believe it.”

"The number of people coming home with Unseen Injuries, post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain Injury, is significantly Higher. What's this say about a guy WHO does not have any notion of that? These look at what kids are going through. Look at the Making the sacrifice they're. And look what dreading They go to sleep. "
The vice president recalled being Asked to award a Silver Star to a military member WHO HAD been injured pulling a fellow soldier from a Humvee That hadd been Damaged by a roadside bomb. Biden Said the soldier Told Him "I do not want it."
"That kid probably goes to sleep every night with a nightmare, and this guy does not understand any of that," the vice president Said pivoting the conversation back to Trump. "How Can he not understand that? How Can he swear so out of touch? He's not a bad guy, But How Can he swear so out of touch and Asked to lead this country? "
