President Donald Trump wrongly told U.S. troops that they had an"all brand new" fleet of aircraft during a Christmas conference call, it has been reported.
Speaking to Air Force personnel during the Christmas video call, President Trump said:"I have to just ask you one question. We spent a lot of money on brand new airplanes, as you know. Three years ago you didn't have brand new airplanes, you were not doing well, and now you have all brand new. Are you seeing the big difference? They're already arriving."
"As of late 2018, the average age of an Air Force plane was 28 years -- 26 for fighters, 42 for bombers, 54 for tankers."
This is the end of Trump !!!! ...... again Is this news I believe Trump ordered another aircraft for the soldiers for Christmas and the contractor didnt deliver.
LIER IN CHIEF. WORST POTUS OF ALL TIME.
Idiot
He doesn’t care what lies he tells, or to whom he tells them!
What else is new? He does this all the time. The leader of the free world is a liar and a source of wrong information. What happened?
With 700 extra billions, how is it that they have dilapidated planes?
My first thought was, “naturally”.
Lies all the time
Believe it...or else.
He is clueless & makes stuff up...long story short...our president is a liar! And isn't even good at it.
As always, just a need to lie realDonaldTrump
But the men and women in the military know that is not true and hopefully it will help them decide to vote for someone who's not a pathological liar in the next election.
Newsweek the most desperate rag to come up with stories. Pathetic.
Under Obama our military was a skeleton crew we had soldiers taking parts off of outdated equipment and installing it on other equipment just to keep it running ! And you’re trying to tell us that under Trump our military is worse off ? yeah right🤡
No. He LIED. A lie is not amistake. It is not misinformation . It is DIsinformation: deliberate and designed to undermine the existence of objective truth. Say the ducking word: LIED
Do you know what US troops won’t care if they’re new or old function and work on like they did during the Obama ministration where they were robbing parts off one to fix another
Better headline: realDonaldTrump lied to US Troops when he said 'you have brand new airplanes now'. Two facts 1) appropriating, ordering, building and receiving large items as airplanes take several months even years 2) average age of US forces planes is over 25 yrs old.
And soon a new president...
'Wrongly told?' Come on, ffs. He LIED. Use the word 'LIED!' Why won't you report the facts 'DonaldTrump lies to troops again' should be the headline.
Out of touch👎🏼 no credibility
You mean, lied. He lied. He’s a liar.
But the media wants us to think that Biden is the gaff king. 🙄
The troops know he was lying to them, they have to ride in them and work on them also.
Shocker.
Lied ?
legend in his own mind
Does he think the members of the military who fly and maintain aircraft are too stupid to realize the are not 'all brand new'?
Wrongly or He lied? Like usual.
Trump is a typical corrupt rich man who wants to use the Army to kill people and keep him in power.
theres a difference between wrongly and a lie.. this is just another pumpkin face lie
No, he lied cause that’s all he knows how to do, sad.
Ole negative Newsweek would never said anything against obummer.
You mean.....he lied Call it what it is.
Nothing new here. Just Trump finding a way to blow smoke up his own ass again.
Was he referring to the aircraft that his direct audience uses?
Snowflakes at Newsweek grow up!
open his mouth and the lies flow, he has no concept of truth, only self serving BS.
Wrongly? He lied. Because he’s stupid and immoral. Call it like it is. “Donald Trump lies to troops...again.”
What is wrong with you Newsweak? Mabel in accounting is hardly a fact checker, nor was this necessary. Fact is the administration DID order new planes, President Trump assumed they had some of the new ones, and asked about them. Certainly not ALL new planes in the Air Force.
Why Lie. For What Reasons. How about give them a Big raise in pay. They don’t care about new aircraft. For Trump to just blatantly Lie to the people that keep America Safe. Why.
Did he read last year's speech?
Donald Lies to everyone about everything lyingdonald lyingdonald
Wrongly? Call it what it is, he lied! LiarInChief
I hope Foreign intelligence is on top of things like our Media. That kind of critical analysis will defeat them
Of course no fact checking for his pronouncements- what else is new? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 laughable but not funny anymore?!
Is that your idea of another lie from Trump? They are putting new aircraft on line. F-35 . Pathetic reporting!
No, but the Fed bought enough T-bills to purchase several dozen aircraft carriers
At what point do the GOP pull the plug on Trump? His persistent lying is now beyond embarrassing.
Dam Fool -Boy stop tell lies realDonaldTrump
'WRONGLY'? HE LIED. .
Yawn
Trump was a human mistake
He told us he would drain the swamp and we got a new one.
So jazz hands and act shocked and amazed that he just rambelled on about b.s. AGAIN, calling it facts?
