The Dems are dug in and convinced their “health care crisis” narrative will win the day. Jeffries and Schumer keep peddling the argument while our service members, air traffic controllers, and millions of their voters go unpaid. But President Trump is a pro-military president. He supports police, fire, first responders, and every member of the armed services. And yesterday he announced that he’d instructed his Secretary of War to make sure the troops get paid.

Chuck Schumer recently said, “Every day gets better” during their Radical Left Shutdown. I DISAGREE! If nothing is done, because of “Leader” Chuck Schumer and the Democrats, our Brave Troops will miss the paychecks they are rightfully due on October 15th. That is why I am using my authority, as Commander in Chief, to direct our Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to use all available funds to get our Troops PAID on October 15th. We have identified funds to do this, and Secretary Hegseth will use them to PAY OUR TROOPS. I will not allow the Democrats to hold our Military, and the entire Security of our Nation, HOSTAGE, with their dangerous Government Shutdown. The Radical Left Democrats should OPEN THE GOVERNMENT, and then we can work together to address Healthcare, and many other things that they want to destroy. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
