Veteran at VA hospital snaps pic of Trump’s portrait substituted with a potted plant – it didn’t sit well

He told Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends” that instead of a photo of Trump and David Sulking, the VA secretary, on display at the VA hospital in Port St. Lucie hospital, he found one of former Secretary Robert McDonald and a potted plant.

“I couldn’t believe my eyes,” Carollo said.

So Carollo marched up to the receptionist’s desk to find out what the holdup was.

“She told me it was out of her control,” he said, adding that it was up to the Palm Beach County facility, which was where Mast first noticed the omission.

Mast said at the times that the VA’s omission wasn’t an oversight — it was a political decision.
