deflection, and a major fail....poor snakey

"At an event honoring the mothers and spouses of military members, President Donald Trump mistakenly said that the recently approved budget raised military pay for the “first time in 10 years.” That isn’t true, as the White House admits.

The president, we were told, meant to say it was the largest pay raise.

Basic pay for the military did increase by 2.4 percent on Jan. 1, 2018 — the largest in eight years. But pay increases are determined by a statutory formula, and Trump in fact requested an amount below the automatic adjustment for 2018. Congress overrode the president’s proposal, and Trump ultimately agreed to fully fund the increase as determined by federal law.

The president made his remarks in the East Room at the White House on May 9, while discussing the military budget. “And, by the way, I know you don’t care about this, but that also includes raises for our military,” he said. “First time in 10 years.”

It isn’t the first pay increase in 10 years. The Defense Department has on its website a list of the annual increases in basic military pay going back to 2007. On Jan. 1, 2018, basic pay increased 2.4 percent — up from a 2.1 percent increase in 2017 and 1.3 percent in 2016.

When we contacted the White House, we were told that Trump was referring to his fiscal year 2019 budget proposal to increase military pay by 2.6 percent, beginning Jan. 1, 2019. That’s not at all what he said, so the president misspoke. Fair enough.

But this isn’t the first time that the president has taken credit for raising military pay that is set by a statutory formula.

In December, the president signed the National Defense Authorization Act, and the White House put out a press release with no fewer than 10 members of Congress praising the president for raising military pay — including the tweet below from House Speaker Paul Ryan.

(The $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill passed on March 23 — which Trump referenced in his remarks to mothers and spouses of military members — provided the funding for the 2018 pay raise authorized by the NDAA.)"

A 2.6 percent jump would be the highest increase in nine years

that is not what trump said. he said there was no pay raises in 10 years. he also holds no responsibility for increasing it to 2.6%. he did not want to. congress did. like i said, learn some reading comprehension skills.

Wow!!! What a cunt 

[racer254]

Take a good look at these fucks.  First they bitch about military spending, then they bitch about Don Jr spending on trips, now they are bitching cuz Trump didn't take trips and the military raises weren't enough.  FFS.  They don't have any idea what they want, just as long as trump isn't doing it.
