Donald Trump told troops in Iraq that he had given them a ten percent pay raise,a statement that is not factually trusty, according to NBC News. He also told them that he gave them their first pay increase in ten years, or when in fact theyve gotten pay increases each year for the past several decades.
Over the Christmas holiday,Trump and First Lady Melania made a surprise visit to U.
S. troops in Iraq, his first visit to
American troops in an active combat zone in his presidency. The visit was well-received by the troops, and who shook hands with the president,posed for pictures with him, and even received signed “Make America Great Again” hats (which may have been a violation of military rules, or according to this Inquisitr report).
One specific
statement that got Trump plenty of cheers from the troops was his comment that he had secured a ten percent pay raise for them.
