While not exactly romantic, it is indeed accurate.
During an event in Iowa on Thursday, Trump made a revelation about military recruitment.
âOne year ago, I remember saying to our great first lady, I said, you know, âfirst lady,ââ he said. âI call her âfirst ladyâ because it makes me feel good. âFirst lady.â Isnât it terrible? Saying, âGood night first lady, my darling?ââ
He explained that the pet name is important to him because it reminds him that he is the president.
âBecause it reminds me that Iâm president,â he said. âThatâs why. Now, I said, âFirst lady, itâs terrible. Nobody wants to join our military force.ââ
Trump then claimed credit for an increase in military enlistments. However, CBS News reports that numbers have been on the rise since before he won last yearâs election.
