Trump lie: “And we gave our great warriors their largest pay raise in more than a decade.”
in fact: The military pay increase in the 2019 defense bill, 2.6 per cent, is the largest in nine years, since the 3.4 per cent increase under President Obama in 2010. More than a decade" is simply another Trump lie.
Trump lie: “And there's more coming. We passed Veterans Choice, giving our veterans the right to see a private doctor rather than waiting on line for weeks and months to see a doctor. Forty-four years, they tried to pass that. And I came up with that idea, and I thought it was brilliant. I went back to my people and I said, you know what we'll do? There's no way there are so many people in line, takes months and months. I said, you know what we're going to do? We're going to have those people get off line, go outside, see a doctor. And we'll pay for the doctor. I said, ‘I'm so smart. I am the most brilliant human being that has ever lived.’ 😂😄😂
in fact: The Veterans Choice health program was passed and created in 2014 under President Obama. The law Trump signed in 2018, the VA MISSION Act, simply modified the program.
