Trump Says Soldiers with PTSD Are Not Strong

Donald Trump suggested to a room full of veterans that soldiers who return from war suffering from PTSD are not “strong” and “can’t handle it,” BuzzFeed reports.

Said Trump: “When people come back from war and combat and they see maybe what the people 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.”

“There was a silence in the room after his statement, and people on social media were quick to express anger toward his comments.”
