Trump Brags About Raise Soldiers Haven’t Been Given

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.”
