Trump seems confused about military pay,
claims troops received no raises for a decade
A lying, ignorant & loud-mouthed buffoon. Will no one rid us of this sub-human moron before it's too damn late?
WASHINGTON — Speaking to
a crowd of military spouses on Wednesday, President Donald Trump incorrectly claimed that his administration gave service members their first pay raise in 10 years, a moment he was “proud” to oversee.
In fact, troops have seen a pay raise of at least 1 percent every year for more than 30 years.
The 2018 military pay raise — which was 2.4 percent — was the largest for the armed forces in eight years.
On Wednesday, at the signing of an executive order to increase military spouse hiring among federal agencies, Trump called the raise this January the “first time in 10 years” that troops had seen a paycheck boost.
“Today, I’m here to tell you that my administration is totally committed to every family that serves in the United States armed forces,” Trump said. “That is why, earlier this year, I was proud to sign that big pay raise that I’ve already spoken about. And I am proud of it.
“And I guess there will be others, too. Would you like one sooner, or do you want to wait another 10 years? I don’t know.”
A member of Trump's family then wiped the drool from his slack jaw & escorted him from the podium w/ a promise of some "executive time" if he can manage not to poop his pants before leaving the room.

M, with that little stunt re Iran, it might be too late. Hope not. That's this Idiot in Chief's definition of diplomacy: Antagonism. Makes the little boy be a tough "Big Man". Regardless of any consequence. Damn him all to Hell!!
