No. He said it exactly as I stated. Please provide a video link to him saying otherwise.
I don’t have a video link, but I have his official remarks from the White House website:
Whitehouse.gov
quote:
And you just saw that because you just got one of the biggest pay raises you’ve ever received — unless you don’t want it. (Applause.) Does anybody here — is anybody here willing to give up the big pay raise you just got? Raise your hands, please. Ah, I don’t see too many hands. Okay, don’t give it up. It’s great. You know what? Nobody deserves it more. You haven’t gotten one in more than 10 years — more than 10 years. And we got you a big one. I got you a big one. I got you a big one. (Applause.) They had plenty of people that came up. They said, “You know, we could make it smaller. We could make it 3 percent. We could make it 2 percent. We could make it 4 percent.” I said, “No. Make it 10 percent. Make it more than 10 percent.” Because it’s been a long time. It’s been more than 10 years. It’s been more than 10 years. That’s a long time. And, you know, you really put yourselves out there, and you put your lives out there. So congratulations.
The above says military just received (past tense) one of the biggest raises (true statement at least in the past 10 years), military hasn’t received a raise in 10 years (false statement), and then he heavily implied they are receiving 10% rather than their 2.6% (false).

What’s also interesting about Trump’s quote above is that most of the low numbers Trump cites are still higher than the actual raise they are receiving

It's almost like he consistently says things without any regard whatsoever for their truth

Trump is a Republican and was put in office by Jesus, he wouldn't lie to the troops

His supporters live in some universe where words or their meaning don’t seem to matter.

Trump said, in his usual boisterous way, that he wanted to get them 10% - further reports have indicated that he’s continuing to push for more - but the #fakenews is never one to miss an opportunity to bash Trump. So they took one line from his speech to the troops, out of context, and without any indication of inflection, and said that Trump “lied” to the troops.
It's amazing to watch you chimps spin his bullshite into fake gold Quote what he said and compare it to reality, Coco

what's really wild is how they fall all over themselves to litigate them on his behalf
a pathology that deserves its own name, something like "battered cuck syndrome"

So Trump isn't as big of a liar as Obama, but he's real close?

I realize in your sad binary world that disliking and not supporting Trump must mean liking and supporting Obama, but I agree Obama lied/mislead everyone here with regards to the ACA.
Sweet whataboutism though.

It's so nice to have an American president who loves this country running things again.
Remember when Obama gave our money to the Iranians instead?
I do.

Trump has lied way more than Obama or probably any other president and it’s not even close.

The money was a return of Iranian money that had been frozen under certain sanctions that were lifted under the JCPOA. Seriously these are just simple facts. You can dislike the deal, but the money sent to Iran was legal and is how sanctions works when they are lifted.

Fake news. The POTUS would not lie straight to deployed troops faces.
