What has Donald Trump’s Klepto-Kakistocracy Regime done to the Veterans Administration?

Trump’s appointee to run the VA replaced the HealthyVet website, which veterans like me used to contact anyone on their VA health team that deals with our health issues, with a new website where we had to prove we were human and us, before we could switch accounts.

To prove I was human, I had to go to a local US Post Office with my ID but before the postal clerk could check the ID to verify, I’m me, I had to show them a barcode on my mobile phone screen they could scan. A second site’s barcode request demanded identity verification; I failed despite live support. VA phone assistance guided me through the process twice, each time exceeding an hour.

I called one of the many VA 800 numbers and was told, after waiting I don’t remember how long, I could take my ID to the VA medical clinic I use and see the Veteran Advocate in person, who checked my ID and verified online that I’m me. That was a two-hour round-trip drive and the advocate, in his office at that VA medical clinic, verified I was me and logged it into the VA website.

Then yesterday, I read that all the Healthcare Information for all veterans, like me, was eaten by the AI that DOGE loaded into the VA medical system to improve and speed up that system, but it ate all our information instead because the AI couldn’t communicate with the VA computer system.  Until I hear otherwise, it seems all the files for millions of veterans the VA provides healthcare for does not exist anymore, which explains why I can’t prove I’m me and the outside vendor who the VA pays for the orthotic shoes I wear so I can walk isn’t getting the prescription sent to him from the VA website for my latest pair of shoes.

This is so confusing even for me, I’m not sure I explained what’s happening properly.

Still, who is profiting from our pain?

On December 25, 2024, Forbes reported “Trump’s Net Worth Rose $3.6 Billion This Year—Despite Wild Fluctuations In His Wealth” and reached $5.1 billion by early June, 2025, according to Wikipedia.

Trump’s Net Worth Doubled To $5 Billion in the first half of 2025.

    I’m in a similar boat. I live in Thailand, have since 2008, I can’t speak, Agent Orange cancer complete laryngectomy, do not have US drivers license or state ID, only passport. I can’t log into any of the VA or Mygov. com whatever sites. A confusing bunch of crap that gets you nowhere. Because I live overseas, the VA won’t send me necessary medical equipment for my survival. I will in the future have to fly to China, Hong Kong. A prospect I do not look forward to. I will not return to the US for medical exam due to cost and current dictatorship therefore I lose my medical supply subscription. Insanity and the inmates are running the asylum.

      After I read your comment, I ran a search for typed text into speech apps. This is what I found.

      Several apps convert typed text into speech, including SpeechNinja, Speechify, Google Text to Speech, Speak4Me, and Type & Speak. SpeechNinja and Speechify are AI-powered apps, while Google Text to Speech is a free app integrated with Android phones and other services. Speak4Me and Type & Speak are also helpful for those with reading difficulties or needing to generate voice-overs.
      Here’s a more detailed look at some of these apps:

      SpeechNinja:
      This app converts typed text into spoken words in real-time, assisting individuals with speech difficulties or who need an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) system.

      Speechify:
      Speechify is an AI-powered app that offers human-quality voice overs, available on various platforms. It also has features like reading speed customization and a free trial according to
      Speechify.

      Google Text to Speech:
      This free app provides high-quality text-to-speech conversion and is integrated with various apps and programs. It also supports multiple languages and can be accessed through Android settings.

      Speak4Me:
      This app reads aloud various content formats like PDFs, books, and web articles, offering features like saving favorite phrases and downloading speech as audio files.

      Type & Speak:
      This app is designed to make communication easier and more accessible, offering a simple user interface and features that assist with pronunciation or speech difficulties.

      Then I asked Google to find out if its possible to call a US 800 number from outside the US.
      Yes, it is possible to call a US 800 number from outside the US. However, it’s important to remember that while the 800 number is “toll-free” within the US, calling it from abroad may not be free. You’ll likely be charged for the international call, even though the recipient may not be charged.
      Here’s what you need to know:

      Dialing Format:
      To call a US 800 number from another country, you’ll typically need to dial your country’s exit code (often 00 or +), followed by the US country code (1), then the 800 number. For example, if you’re in the UK and want to call a US 800 number, you might dial 00 + 1 + 800.

      International Charges:
      While the 800 number is free for callers in the US, calling it from abroad will likely incur international calling charges. The specific rate will depend on your phone plan and the country you’re calling from.
      Availability:
      Some businesses may choose to block international calls to their 800 numbers due to the higher costs involved.

      Alternative Options:
      You can sometimes find a local number for a company when calling from abroad, or use internet-based calling services (like Skype) that can offer cheaper rates for international calls.

      If one of the type to speech apps works for you, maybe you can talk to a VA human rep that way over the phone. I don’t know if this will work but it may be worth a try.

      Here are a few numbers I have. Still, I don’t know if those numbers still work. With the convicted rapist, fraud, felon, and Janauryt 6, 2021, traitor, there’s no way to know what his klepto-kakistorcracy fascist regime will do away with next or break.

      Laura Crawley was and may still work for the VA. The last time I talked to her she was a My HealthyVet coordinator.

      916-843-7109
      800-877-8339

      Here’s another number that called a — Request for service
      916-923-4998

      Here’s another 800 number for the Sacramento VA
      1-800-382-8387
      When I used that number, I reached someone called Aaron.

      To talk to someone about appointments I have this number: 707-562-8430

      REMEMBER: Once you reach a human at the VA, they will only ask for your name and LAST FOUR for your Social Security card. if you reach someone who asks for more information, don’t give it to them. Try one of the other numbers.

      For California, I think you have to call these numbers during pacific time in the California time zone Monday through Friday 8:00 AM through 4:30 PM
