    You assumed Trump only meant “raise” in terms of the basic pay itself. Did you factor in inflation, the cost of living, taxes on food, gas, transport and general products and services, which he did? No.

    As you can see here, the basic pay for entry level E-1 (with less than 4 months of active duty) in 2007 was $1,203.90 per month, or $278 per week. [place cursor over asterix].

    As you can see here, the same basic E-1 pay in 2015 was $1430.40 per month, or $330 per week.

    That’s a lousy increase of $52 bucks, which won’t cover inflation and the increased cost of living. $278 in 2007 would buy more than $330 in 2015. So in real terms the basic pay for enlisted servicemembers went down in that time, not up.

    Aside from this Trump is doing other things to bring down the cost of living and inflation, which will make the pay worth even more again.

    Trump is a businessman. He intends to give the servicemembers a real pay increase, not a pretend one, and yes, it will be the first time in a decade they’ve had that.

    Marco Rubio is an even bigger liar than Cruz.

    You're clearly a waste of my time and I will be putting you on ignore now with the other useless trolls.
    If you want to start a thread inviting people to post Gish Gallops, go ahead. In my thread I've asked for single alleged Trump lies, one at a time. You can't manage that for a very simple reason.

    There are none.

    Let’s take a look. Trump made some remarks at a Roundtable Discussion on tax reform on April 5, 2018, at the White Sulphur Springs Civic Center, West Virginia.

    He spoke about 5,500 words. I’ll paste a tiny part of that – about one percent. Emphasis mine:

    A lot of times it doesn’t matter, because in many places, like California, the same person votes many times. (Laughter.) You probably heard about that. They always like to say, “Oh, that’s a conspiracy theory.” Not a conspiracy theory, folks. Millions and millions of people. And it’s very hard because the state guards their records. They don’t want to see it.

    Here’s the same quote butchered by Fake News (politifake):

    In many places, like California, the same person votes many times. You probably heard about that. They always like to say 'oh that's a conspiracy theory.' Not a conspiracy theory, folks. Millions and millions of people.

    Once again there is no ellipsis or lowercase letter at the start – instead, a capital ‘I’ that makes it look like the sentence began with “In” instead of “A”. The first eight words, “A lot of times it doesn’t matter, because…” are missing. This makes it appear there was no other conversation this was stemming from. They left out the reference to audience laughter. They left out the comma after ‘say’ and made ‘Oh’ lowercase (bad grammar), and they left out the last two sentences, “And it’s very hard because the state guards their records. They don’t want to see it.”

    There was a reason Fake News left out the last two sentences. They didn’t want you to know that Trump’s whole argument is that the State do this deliberately and won’t let you see their records, and they don’t want [you] to see them.

    If California was not doing what Trump says, it would be a perfect opportunity to release those records so we can all see. Even then they’ll probably be faked. Faking data is something Socialists are very good at. So the question is, why don’t they? It would be a great way for them to embarrass Trump, which they would love to do. So why not? Because the records would show they let many illegals vote – probably millions.

    Regardless – this is Trump’s opinion. See the OP:

So do I. Another thing that is not a lie is an exaggeration or a joke. If Trump said, “When you’re a star they let you do it… grab ‘em by the pussy,” this is not him saying he goes around raping women. That is the hysterical Left’s silly translation. Likewise, if he jokingly said, “Man, we’re gonna be the richest country for a million years,” that is not a lie – it is a harmless piece of joking or kidding around.

    The only regret is that so far I haven't had one alleged lie that stands up under examination. You won't believe me because I'm a dreaded deplorable, but I have actually been hoping someone could find a genuine lie Trump told.

    The reason they don't exist is simply that Trump is very good at placing many "exit clauses" in his speech, and this comes after many years as a businessman.

    There is a reason Fake News has made a mountain of alleged lies for Trump, and its fairly easy to figure out.

    It's because he doesn't lie.

    There are none.

    So your way to defend the multitude of Trump's lies is to try to pass them off as his opinions?

    For example, when he repeatedly keeps asserting he is the only republican presidential candidate to win Wisconsin since Eisenhower and claiming not even Reagan could win Wisconsin --- and even tho he has been corrected about this by his own people --- the fact he keeps lying is just him expressing his opinion?

    Is that how this works? Are you that pathetic of a sycophant?

    You left out a bunch of stuff. After Trump guessed that it was the biggest electoral college win since Ronald Reagan, an NBC reporter, Peter Alexander, pointed out the error. Trump defended himself, as Alexander continued. There were four or five levels of this defense:

    1) First Trump pointed out that “Obama was “not a Republican,” which meant he was only claiming he had the biggest Electoral College victory since Reagan among Republican presidents. Then Alexander pointed out that George H.W. Bush got 426 when he won.

    2) Trump then said he was given that information. Alexander continued harassing him.

    3) Trump then said, “Actually, I’ve seen that information around.”

    4) Various people then realized as theblaze.com pointed out, that:

    “It’s possible Trump was referring to his own biography on the White House’s official website, which correctly states that Trump “won the election on November 8 of 2016 in the largest electoral college landslide for a Republican in 28 years.” That is, in fact, entirely true since former President George W. Bush barely defeated former Democratic Vice President Al Gore 271-266.”

    As I said – it was no lie.

    Now Lefties, go find a real lie instead of hanging around the bottom of the barrel with these flea-bitten examples you keep giving me.

    Crime in Germany is up, probably more than 10%, as you would except it would be, with all those third world immigrants being imported. It would be a miracle if it wasn’t. Trump explained that the German Left winged government under communist Merkel is not interested in publishing the real figures and is covering them up. You don’t think the commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces would know if Merkel was covering up such things? Until you have the United States intelligence machine don’t dare say your commander-in-chief is lying about such matters.

    So once again – not a lie.
