[The Purge]

Not sure which is more entertaining. watching people freak out over his lies or watching the faithful sheep twist themselves into knots to ignore them.

 

[rightwinger]

What is our President thinking?
Does he think at all?

The people he is talking to have been in the military for years. They know when they have gotten pay increases

 

[rightwinger]

Trump once again shows that, to him, it is all about money


“I” got you the biggest pay raise in 10 years......you should like me

 

[Erinwltr]

Does he think that every appearance that he makes is a political rally of and for his base? WTH...

There is one thing about Trump that has been consistent his whole adult life.

Everything is about him, no matter what he does and who he is doing it with...it is about him. He has always been that way, it was not going to change when he became POTUS

Anything that damages the federal government is a good thing...

Yeah well, you wouldn't be on the internet posting such opinions if it was not for the Dept of Defense funding for ARPANET. Thank you Uncle Sam.

They had plenty of people that came up, they said, 'You know, we could make it smaller. We could make it 3%, we could make it 2%, we could make it 4%,'" Trump told the troops about the latest pay raise. "I said, 'No. Make it 10%. Make it more than 10%.'"
'Cause it's been a long time, it's been more than 10 years. Been more than 10 years, that's a long time," Trump said, repeating the false claim.



Trump is now telling them he gave them a 10 percent raise when he only signed for 2.6 percent
Doesn’t he know what he signed?

I guess not. Heck he even believes his own lies.

It's undeclared war. Therefore any exenditures are waste.

He thinks they don’t know about how much they make?

Trump misleads about military pay raises again - CNNPolitics

Speaking to troops at Al Asad Air Base during his surprise visit to Iraq, Trump told troops: "You protect us. We are always going to protect you. And you just saw that, 'cause you just got one of the biggest pay raises you've ever received. ... You haven't gotten one in more than 10 years. More than 10 years. And we got you a big one. I got you a big one. I got you a big one."
In fact, military pay has increased every year for more than three decades. It was raised 2.4% in 2018 and then 2.6% in the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act. The 2.6% pay raise is the largest in the past 9 years.

I heard it on the grapevine that SSA Retirement gets a 2% raise on 1 JAN 19.

We have not had a declared war since WWII.

I'll vote to re-elect any President who gets all our homeless veterans off the street. Even Doofus McTrumpcake.

Its the largest pay raise in 8 years.

The mark is 0.3 percent above what President Donald Trump and the Pentagon had requested. It translates into about a $680 annual boost from 2017 pay for younger enlisted ranks, and about $1,080 a year for more senior enlisted and junior officers. A mid-career officer will see almost $2,000 a year extra under the plan.

I'm sure our men and women in uniform will enjoy it.

The military personnel knows whether or not they got a raise.

US Troops Just Scored Their Largest Pay Raise In Nearly A Decade

No matter how many times Democrat socialists deny there was a raise those enjoying the increase know better.

trump said they didn't get one in 10 years.

they know THAT is a lie.

trump said it would be a 10% raise, courtesy of him.

they know THOSE are lies.

HE doesn't have anything to do with how much they are paid... nor that it is gonna be that high, since the raise was already budgeted for 2019.

but you go on with swallowing the load trump blew.

 

[Seawytch]

Trump supporters either know he's lying and just don't care or they believe his lies. Which is worse I wonder?

Hold on Tipsy... you're wasting good facts on triggered morons.

They're having fun in their triggered circle jerk right now...

I know but Lordy I get tired of the lies.

Drumpf has a unlimited supply of everlasting gobstopper lies.

he lies even when the truth could work in his favor.
