==> Do you claim to have never spoke in error about anything in your life?

==> Do you accuse everyone in your life of lying if they make a statement that is not 100% accurate?

I'll stand by to hear your honest answers. I know you won't lie.

Here are the facts:

President Trump may have made a mistake, or he may have received faulty information, when he said that the Military had no pay increases in ten years.


What he likely meant to say (AFTER HOW LONG A FLIGHT TO IRAQ?) was that his increases WERE THE LARGEST IN TEN YEARS.

Obama's increases were closer to 1% and Trump's are closer to 3% - 2.6% in 2019! GRAPH


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.
