The largest majority of veterans approve of Trump sending troops to the US-Mexican border to deal with undocumented migrants coming into the country (58% of veterans, 48% overall)

A majority of US veterans support President Donald Trump, his foreign policy and his usage of the military, outpacing support from the general public on the same issues, according to a new poll from Pew Research Center on Wednesday.

The largest majority of veterans approve of Trump sending troops to the US-Mexican border to deal with undocumented migrants coming into the country . Veterans were also much more likely to approve of the US withdrawing from the Iran nuclear weapons agreement . The biggest gap between veterans and the overall US population was on banning transgender people from serving in the military.

Please don’t use vague polls to represent all Veterans and put it out as fact. Your poll is garbage. I don’t know one Veteran who approves of wasting tax money for racist causes.

Which Vets were polled? The idjuts that suppirt everything twatler does? I'm sure not all the homeless were...

Not this vet, this was a political stunt by Trump

Nobody asked me! That would only be a no but a h3ll no.

Some Veterans prefer to have Trump and Fox State News do their thinking for them — but many are now becoming independent thinkers !

This vet calls b.s. on the percentages. Most vets I know don't support troops at the border and neither do I.

You didn't ask me...

BUILD THE WALL

Sure it's not 58 and 42? Or does CNN have their own percentages? 106?

The 'largest majority'? As opposed to the 'most largest majority', or the 'smallest majority'. I think this is one made up to fit some bogus category.

Now Crime-rate & Health Care Budget will get reduced drastically. Stock market will Skyrocket. Now our AMERICA will SET an example for whole World. Hurrah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now Crime-rate & Health Care Budget will get reduced drastically. Stock market will Skyrocket. Now our AMERICA will SET an example for whole World. Hurrah !!!!!!!!!!!!!! No one will call us most stressed-out people in the world.

Thank you very much Brothers & Sisters for QUITTING Smoking, Alcohol, Drug, PORN, Premarital Sex & Extramarital Affairs on this 4th July. I still can't believe that you have done it. THANK GOD..............Most of the Crimes & Health Issues are related to these bad habits.

Do nothing.... inflict the cost on citizens.....that's the DNC....then scream racist

Yes we do.. Trump is doing a great job. Leave it up to the Democrats and America will end up like Venezuela.

There’s no such thing as “undocumented immigrant “. Legal or illegal alien.

That is because they understand that the people coming to these borders aren't just from Central and South America. Our nation was brought to its knees on September 11th not by a large military, but by a handful of people. It only takes a handful of people to do horrible things.

Who did you ask I

Not this veteran.

oh goodie more hatred doesn't that worry you at all. migrants in such a huge land like canada all spouting meaness for the love of the country of course nothing to do with greed. u never report positive.. cannot will not do it. looks like the public will have to change that then.

Their fathers, grandfathers, great grandfathers, etc. were veterans, but for whatever reasons, they were also fuckin' Republicans. I will leave it at that. If it was a different GOP 'president,' that number would be MUCH higher.

I’m in the 42% who oppose. This is a massive waste of money and military talent for political purposes. And BTW being a veteran doesn’t make you automatically rational and smart - I served with a lot of idiotic racist clowns who I’m sure side with General Cowar D Bonespurs).

My father has had his 10% disability withheld from him for 32 years. Kicked out for medical reasons with 10% on his paperwork. The VA says he doesn't qualify and fought it for years. This Is ridiculous. And theft. realDonaldTrump fox5dc VAVetBenefits VeteransLivesMatter

What is this war fetish with Trump who avoided military service with phantom bone spurs.

What was their choice? Iran or Mexico, hell ya Mexico sounds way better.

So do I.

Over medicated said what? USA is the problem.

It's an invasion...send the troops and mow them all down the moment they dare to cross uninvited.

The Democrats voted to FINISH the American citizens who did not acquire medical insurance. They imposed a fine of 600 dollars, but the Immigrant immigrants want to give it to them FREE .... 🤔 think it's crazy to vote for the democrats

Gee I wonder why

I just came here to see how the poll is wrong and the Vet’s numbers were made up

Well I hope they enjoy getting sent to Iran to die for Netanyahu and Halliburton’s shareholders. Keep voting for Trump and this is what you’ll get.

Once again, I'm in the majority. 🤔 ..

As we all know, the military is God in this country.

As a veteran, this makes me sad

You can add 20 points to CNN's rigged polls

Mexico still has not paid for the wall Joe Biden talking busing And you wonder why it’s over?

Good move by Trump

Never trust polls. The answers they want are built into the questions.

This is a lie

Why won't anyone believe the poll? The veterans are treated badly in America! Look at how many homeless are our vets! Vets should come first

Not this veteran!

Going on record as a Veteran who is 100% against Trump and 100% against troops on the border.

I question your polling. How were the 'veterans' proving their service? I am 100% against using troops as border patrol.

Not this veteran.

You polled old people with rascals & land lines.

It’s all just window dressing. We can’t and shouldn’t be allowed to do anything. Enforcing immigration laws isn’t our job and we’re not trained or chartered to do any domestic policing. It’s illegal and not something we want to do or what you should want us to do. Dangerous!

Why was this particular group polled and why was this topic polled at all?

Who the hell did this survey? Sending Troops to the border for a fake ass invasion as Trump called is BS. No veteran would support make work for soldiers or wasting soldiers time on some made up BS.

These are not terrorist they are fleeing Dictators and brutality of which we fought against !

Do no harm !

Come guys you fought overseas not here !

everyone knows the military and police have been infiltrated by the klan

Find that hard to believe, facts please

Nothing less can be expected from true Patriots. Most VETS are.

I don’t believe this article. Veterans wouldn’t like that

Better the border than in a desert dying in a BS war of choice. BringThemHome

Send them all !

100% of those who believe in the rule of law support anybody going to the border to help stem the crisis. What's going on at the border and being supported by the democrats is an absolute travesty for this country.

'Largest majority'? As opposed to the smallest majority? Shouldn't it just be ' The majority'?

The opinion of the people who's career choice is to go to foreign countries to be shot at might not be the best one to go with?

Yes.

Most soldiers are from small town America where they blame the world for there terrible lives.

I honestly try to watch cnn but it has become a boring repeat of the same we hate President Trump theme. I even started seeing how many minutes pass before the first President Trump Bash. I’m pretty accurate.😊

Emphasize 'Republican' veterans.

Im a veteran I care about America but I am against using our military to maintain concentration camps! Or enforcing unconstitutional BS on our borders!! Asylum is not illegal!

That's waycist!!!

I'm a veteran and no one asked me. I also know plenty of vets who were also not asked. So who did get asked?

Trump shares fake Reagan quote praising himPresident Trump retweeted a photo of himself shaking hands with Ronald Reagan with a fake quote attributed to Reagan that read, 'I felt like I was the one shaking hands with a president.' The account that originally posted the meme was later suspended. That’s lol funny and horribly sad all at once. I feel like Reagan would view Trump much like George Bush does. What will it take for the Dems to do their job and impeach Trump? Unfortunately, the VP and the Cabinet are too self-serving to do their jobs and remove Trump, but the Dems?
