Trump To Troops On Thanksgiving: 'You're Fighting For Something Good'

Trump made multiple references to how the U.S. military is faring under his administration compared to how it had fared under former President Obama.

"Believe me, everybody in this country is watching and they're seeing, and they're seeing positive reports for a change, instead of the neutral and negative reports," Trump said. "It's all positive."

Trump also pointed to the economy in the speech, telling the service members that "when you come back, you're going to see with the jobs and the companies coming back into our country and the stock market just hit a record high. Unemployment is the lowest its been in 17 years."

"So you're fighting for something real," he said. "You're fighting for something good."

Trump also released a Thanksgiving video message to the American public on Thursday.

"Today we give thanks for all the pilgrims, pioneers, and patriots who have gone before us," he said. "And for all those warriors who have kept us safe and free." - More, NPR
