The Hill: President Trump on Tuesday held a video teleconference with U.S. military members around the world, sending them well-wishes over the holidays and thanking them for their service.
“I want to wish you an amazing Christmas and a happy New Year,” said Trump, who is at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla. “You are tremendous warriors and we appreciate it so much.”
“Because of your brave and selfless service, Americans can celebrate Christmas in safety and in peace,” Trump told the service members. “We all appreciate you so much.”
Trump, sitting at a desk in an office at Mar-a-Lago decorated with an American flag, spoke with members of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard, who were displayed on a large video monitor.
The president touted the recently signed defense bill that gives the military a pay raise and establishes Space Force, a sixth branch of the military long sought by the Trump administration.
He described the pay raise as the “the largest in over a decade,” joking that service members could send it back if they don’t want it.
“You don’t have to take it. If you want you can turn it back into the government,” Trump said.
He spoke to the service members for about 30 minutes, calling on members from each branch to talk and ask him questions.
An Army soldier stationed in Kuwait asked Trump what he got first lady Melania Trump for Christmas this year. Trump replied that he got her “a very beautiful card” and that he was “working on” getting a Christmas present. read more
The Bushes were very good on addressing troops. But Donad Trump kicks their asses in he not only tells them how much WE APPRECIATE THEM!
But he tells them he is getting funding for new toys for them for Christmas to annihilate the enemy! …And bring them home.
Merry Christmas, ladies and gentlemen, stay safe and may your futures always be bright.
