On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of D-Day, Former President Donald Trump had a digital conversation with four World War II veterans, namely Donald Cobb, Steve Melnikoff, George Cross, and Harold Radish. During the call, the former president extended a promise to these veterans that if he were to be re-elected after the 2024 election, they would have the honor of being his first visitors at the White House. This conversation took place while the president was aboard Trump Force One, en route to Arizona.
“Well, it’s an honor to listen to you. It’s a real honor,” Trump said. “Go ahead, let me hear. And I have all the time you want. I hope you can hear me okay.”
“I can hear you … stay healthy and keep up a good fight in November,” one veteran said.
“I think we’re going to, and I just want to thank you all, and I’ll make you a deal. I’ll see you in the White House in January, okay? You’ll be my first group. I’ll see you in the White House in January, okay?”
