NEW: over Labor Day weekend the Trump Administration quietly confirmed it will subject the entire United States military to Trump's payroll tax scheme.
They wrote: "military members are not eligible to opt-out of the deferral" which must be repaid in 2021

As @nogryskoWFED @FederalNewsNet reported, this means the Trump Administration will increase service members paychecks in 2020, with a larger decrease in 2021 (after the election) as military families have their tax withholding doubled.

Trump’s actions are a trick designed to boost his campaign, but their guidance makes it clear that he will really decrease military families’ paychecks in January.
The policy goes into effect five days from now, but they say they still don’t have the details worked out yet.

This is a disgraceful way to treat those who keep us safe.
Trump may try to deny @JeffreyGoldberg’s reporting that he called our fallen heroes ‘suckers’ and ‘losers,’ but his selfish manipulation of service members’ paychecks shows undeniable disrespect for military families.
