He’s the grandson of the great Andrew Mellon, who served as treasury secretary during the golden years of the Coolidge administration/roaring 20s.
Andrew Mellon was a conservative stalwart who was a strong believer in low taxes and limited govt

Like Carnegie, Andrew W. Mellon focused his efforts on the industrial opportunities available in Pittsburgh. Born in 1855, he was a banker and venture capitalist who held investments in 300 companies during his lifetime, including the Aluminum Company of America, or Alcoa, the chemical company Koppers, the Carborundum Company, and Westinghouse Electric.

Andrew Mellon also supported tariffs and the gold standard.

His donation in no way "funds the troops".
