President Donald Trump said Saturday that he was directing Defense Department officials to pay members of the military next week, despite the ongoing federal government shutdown.
“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,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
This comes as Trump administration officials and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have voiced concerns that members of the military would not receive a paycheck on Oct. 15 due to the shutdown, which has lasted for 10 days so far.

They’ll probably say this money would be better off used on illegals.

I am giddy to see the moron dems condemn this.

If he can pay the military and ATC during this, then let it go on for as long as the Dems would like.

You hate the troops that much that you’re happy Israel and Ukraine can get money but they haven’t?
To me it’s pretty clear to pay the troops, but you do you
