President Donald Trump has unveiled a significant financial gesture for U.
S. military personnel, announcing that approximately 1.45 million service members will receive a one-time payment of $1,776 before the Christmas holiday.
This announcement was made during a national address, where the President attributed the financial windfall to unexpectedly high federal revenue. "Think of that, and the checks are already on the way," he stated, attributing the surplus to tariffs and legislative measures that bolstered government income.
As reported by The Post Millennial, Trump referred to this payment as a "warrior dividend," emphasizing that military members are deserving of this bonus, especially in light of what he described as a remarkable improvement in recruitment numbers. "Nobody deserves it more than our military," he asserted, highlighting a significant increase in enlistment following a challenging recruitment period. "What a difference a year makes," he remarked, underscoring the turnaround.
The President's announcement was part of a broader economic narrative focused on reducing costs for American citizens, with a particular emphasis on healthcare. Trump revealed that his administration has initiated a "Most Favored Nation" drug pricing policy, which he claims will substantially lower prescription drug prices by leveraging tariffs to exert pressure on foreign governments and pharmaceutical companies.
According to Trump, this could result in drug prices plummeting by an unprecedented 400 to 600 percent. "Drugs have only gone up, but now theyll be going down by numbers never conceived possible," he declared, noting that the policy had been implemented just four days prior.
The initial phase of these price reductions is set to commence in January, facilitated by a new federal website, trumprx.gov. Furthermore, Trump outlined plans to reallocate healthcare funds from insurance companies directly to individuals, enabling Americans to purchase coverage independently. "The money should go to the people," he insisted, criticizing the Affordable Care Act, which he disparagingly referred to as the "Unaffordable Care Act," and holding Democrats accountable for escalating insurance premiums.
While acknowledging potential resistance from major insurance companies and Democratic lawmakers, Trump dismissed these concerns, stating, "Thats okay with me," and expressing confidence that the American people will ultimately benefit from improved healthcare at reduced costs.
