It’s yet another sign of his diminished faculties. He is psychotic along with a rabid case of narcissistic personality disorder. He should be in a small room with soft walls and an orange teddy bear.

We Should have RoboCop like on screen score boards or computer generated graphics to show false or true statements by the president may be shade the screen read when he’s lying green one is telling the truth or just not

How can any sane person say something like this publicly knowing it’s untrue,it just beggars belief. The man must be a pathological Americans must be so proud of your leader

What an idiot. Is their a limit to his stupidity ? I think not.

A commander in chief who lies straight to his troops face. Man, that “disrespectful to the troops” crowd would be really useful right now.

Can’t you find something else to talk about instead of being critical about everything our President says & does, talk about something good he’s done or said, please!!! He is doing everything he can do to help our Country & all you do is critizicize him!! Shame on you!

And the troops knew he lied.

As normal with NBC, distorted facts, all propaganda. NBC clueless what Trump actually working on for troops.

10% ? Trump is a 🤥

Even if he had to take the 35% raise Obama took when leaving so he could buy 3 mil home

Ever since Obama took office military not paid. Wicked statement.

This fake president can’t stop lying & our worthless congress won’t stop him from destroying America

Another lie Donnie. You just love to hear yourself talk

Why lie to the troops. Ugh

Why the fuck does he get to live in a mansion. Then after his presidency. Hide like he needed a vacation. Because of PTSD and smoke the reefer? The solider get benefit s. I do not see this verbal mind trick doing much other than pumping up the youth. I believe the soliders

Good it’s about time we fill the pockets of drug Attica alcoholics and foreigns who do nothing but take and destroy the country that is great what trump has done for our hero’s fuck these sponging foreigners

Be better cough it up

Why tell someone your going to do that and not?!

Why do you constantly lie on the president? The only folks that believe and are fueled by your Fake News are gullible hateful Liberals; the rest of are smarter than that and find either distasteful or humorous or both 😂 REBT 😎

Don't know about any of you but lying to men with guns really isn't very smart.

More lies!

You mean, he LIED?! 🤥 Noooooo waaaaaaaay. Is that man capable of telling the truth to anyone about anything?

He didn’t say he got them a 10% raise though.

a lie becomes the truth in the minds of stupid if heard often enough.

Yeah, he lies... Who knew?

He summed up the total package Check2018 vs 2019 increases. salary 2.55% BHA basic housing allowance, hazardous duty pay up, sea pay, flt. pay and other increase check the internet I di. Big jump like Mr. Regan did in the day.I thought you had a research dept, not Starbucks data

Orange Pinnochio is at it again

My grandsons and some of their friends are wondering if they should file a lean on the White House for that pay raise they are owed. realDonaldTrump you lied to their faces. How disgusting you are.

He’s talking about the military contractors, multi billionaires who he handed a fat tax cut to, in addition to the fat contracts he’s handing out from cutting these deals w the likes of the Saudis, who are immune from censure, even for assassination. They got 10% more from trump

Because all Trump does is lie

Can you imagine the conversation those soldiers had after Donny left?

Fake news at it again

Because potus is a habitual liar and for some reason republicans believe his lies that are easily proven as such. What world to I live in?

CpickupGm thank you, , for reporting the truth and calling out trump lies!

The dumbest part about this is everyone knows their own paycheck. They would have immediately known that he was full of shit.

Right! And Obama said we can keep our doctors.

Lies, lies & more lies!

I again ask NBC to post the entire video clip for the people to watch and listen. NBC hates Trump and tell lots of lies.

He probably is counting tax breaks I’m sure and as a whole, but people are far too quick to jump. So average Joe in the service and married, when check comes how much more is it? When receive tax refund for basically the same as last year, did it go up? I hate politics count all

That’s a campaign like statement!!

Guy goes to heaven. Sees millions of clocks with minute hands in different positions. St. Peter says 'each person's clock goes ahead one minute for every lie told.' Guy asks, 'where's Trump's clock?' St. Peter says 'it's in Jesus' office, he's using it as a fan'.

They love him anyway. So shut up fake NBC news.

Because he is stupid. Next.

Ffs

It has been the Democrats that have pushed for Military raises. The Trump administration has been apposed.

I hope as soon as the Insane Chief was in the air, the commanders had a meeting with their soldiers explaining that the Toddler-in-Chief did NOT give them a 10% raise. They’re getting the same 2.8% as everybody else and the resident of the Oval Office is a pathetic liar.

Trump is the greatest President in the last 100 yars

PapaJoeSummy My two military kids would disagree w u

Well, Obama said I could keep my Dr., my premiums would go down, every American would be insured, ISIS was JV Etc Etc. I wonder which untruths affected the American People more negatively? You are just about to go as low as CNN in reporting REAL NEWS.

🦇💩🤪🍊🤡

Everyone knows that by now. He spits lies like saliva

Isn’t this a very dangerous level of delusion and/or dishonesty What can we do about this

says it is a news organization. But it’s not.

Lies & lies & lies! Who believes this conman?

IT'S CALLED A LIE. JUST SAY THAT.

Can y’all please fact check more quickly please? We should be seeing the true facts in real time in the chyron for Pete’s sake!

Troops will receive a 2.6 percent — not 10 percent — pay hike for 2019; they got a 2.4 percent pay hike in 2018. What's more, American troops have received a pay hike every year for decades. 2019's raise is the largest in nine years

Why can't we just call these lies?

Lie,lie,lie. Goddamn him

NBC is reporting farce

trumpResign

I think he is referring to the Bush raise, which was 8%, but he still didn't do that either way.

TrumpResign TrumpResignNOW

Why is NBC News so FullOfSchiff? 'If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor' or 'The average family will save $2,400.00 a year in health care premiums' and you didn't care about these lies!

Sadly, the military MAGAts clenching their red klan hats in the audience were oblivious to the truth.

How are we feeling about this one, righties?

🤬
