“It was very depleted as you know,' Trump said of the military.
President Donald Trump took the opportunity at the White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday morning to boast that the U.S. military “is literally being completely rebuilt,” and got clapping support from the White House Easter Bunny.
The president said the rebuild was happening “all with great product, the best product in the world.” “We’re at $700 billion for the military. And, you know, they were cutting back for years. They just kept cutting, cutting, cutting the military. And you got lean, to put it nicely. It was depleted, was the word,” he told Coast Guard members in December 2017. “And now it’s changing.”
But Donald Trump has continued to find opportunities to repeat his claim. When asked to comment on former first lady Michelle Obama’s new book last November, he placed the blame on his predecessor President Barack Obama. Michelle Obama wrote that she would"never forgive" Donald Trump for his role in pushing the birther movement about her husband.
