Former president said he condemned “vaccine mandates” and would fully compensate wrongfully terminated soldiers.
US service members who were unjustly discharged for refusing a mandatory Covid-19 vaccine would be rehired under another Donald Trump presidency, the former president said Wednesday.
Speaking to a crowd in Asheboro, North Carolina, Trump said he condemned “vaccine mandates” and would fully compensate wrongfully terminated soldiers.
“We didn’t want a mandate,” Trump said, adding, “You can’t, you just can’t do that.”
He continued: “I will rehire every patriot who was fired from the military with an apology and with back pay. They will get their back pay and an apology from our government.”
