“During a speech to US troops at the Osan Air Base in South Korea on Sunday, President Trump said that he had given them their first pay increase in almost a decade,” CNN reports.

Said Trump: “And, you know, one thing I didn’t mention: You also got very nice pay raises for the last couple of years. Congratulations. Oh, you care about that. They care about that. I didn’t think you noticed. Yeah, you were entitled. You know, it was close to 10 years before you had an increase. Ten years.”

“His claim isn’t true… Military pay rose every year under Obama.”

.....SNIP"

Trump said today that Democrats want illegal immigrants to have better healthcare than a coal miner gets. What is actually true is the bad healthcare goal miners get because of republicans. Democrats want good healthcare for all.
