Speaking to members of the military during his surprise trip overseas this week, President Trump spoke about the raises they received, the Washington Post reports.
Said Trump: “You haven’t gotten one in more than 10 years — more than 10 years,” he said Wednesday. “And we got you a big one. I got you a big one. I got you a big one.”
He continued: “They said: ‘You know, we could make it smaller. We could make it 3 percent. We could make it 2 percent. We could make it 4 percent.’ I said: ‘No. Make it 10 percent. Make it more than 10 percent.’ ”
“The problem with those statements? They’re not true.”
