President Trump Is Ensuring Troops Get Paid Despite Democrat Shutdown

President Trump has announced that he will ensure troops get paid on October 15th despite the continued government shutdown at the hands of Democrats.

In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote “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.”

He continued, “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 President urged.

He added that “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!”

Trump didn’t reveal where the funds are coming from, but it has been reported that the likely source is from billions of dollars that were pumped into the War Department under Trump’s big tax and spending cut bill from this Summer.

There's an obvious flaw in the system that allows one side to hold America hostage.

It’s a genius move, not only because it’s the right thing to do, but because anything Trump does Democrats become obsessed with opposing.

Checkmate. The Democrats will now have to come out AGAINST paying our hardworking military members!

The shutdown is hitting hard, with troops and civilian defense workers suffering financially. The Navy Federal Credit Union has stepped up, providing over $50 million in bridge loans and paycheck protection to 19,000 people. 

The National Military Family Association’s has also fired off around 35,000 letters to Congress, pushing for the Pay Our Troops Act from Republican Rep. Jennifer Kiggans to get things moving.

Senate Democrats have nonetheless repeatedly voted to block a short-term funding bill that would reopen the government. 

Meanwhile, it appears that some Democrats are headed to a luxury Napa Valley retreat hosted by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee on October 13-14. Republicans are calling it out, charging that Dems plan to spend their time sipping wine and relaxing in the five star spa while the government is closed.

So the Democrats are going to Napa Valley for a fancy get together after they shut down the government – these are not serious people pic.twitter.com/ooXMV8VQsT

Is it true the Senate Democrats’ Napa Retreat is still scheduled for October 13–14, 2025, at the five-star Hotel Yountville in Napa Valley, California? While Military families and federal employees aren’t paid, y’all will be wining & dining & fund raising. Shameful! pic.twitter.com/LFetAaKRAw

Trump’s latest move is an attempt to cut through the gridlock, making sure the military doesn’t get stiffed on their paychecks because of Congress’s bickering.
