Another blatant lie Trump told, on camera:
He told an audience of military spouses at the White House on Wednesday that he was “proud” of the 2.4 percent raise for 2018 which was the “first time in 10 years” troops had received a salary boost.
That’s the lie – there has been a raise every year in those ten years. Is there anything special about the ten years part? Of course: it covers the Obama presidency.
Flattering pic.
It was the second gaffe in recent weeks that Trump has made about the military.
It’s not a “gaffe.” It’s a lie.

One response to “Don’t call it a gaffe”
Reminds me of the bit from “1984” where the chocolate ration is reduced from 30 to 20 grams one day, and the next day Big Brother is praised for raising the chocolate ration to 20 grams.
A lie? Why Ophelia, I believe you have committed a thoughtcrime. That’s bigly doubleplus ungood.
