Trump gives military a $1,776 holiday bonus, insists economy is just fine
"President Trump announced Wednesday night that all members of the military will receive a $1,776 "warrior dividend," while touting his tariffs and economic policies more broadly.
Why it matters: The president's move comes as the administration tackles an affordability problem that has been hurting Republicans in recent elections, and as Trump's approval ratings on his handling of the economy have reached a record low.
What they're saying: "Tonight, I am also proud to announce that 1,450,000 military service members will receive a special, we call, a 'warrior dividend' before Christmas," Trump said in his speech.
"In honor of our nation's founding in 1776, we are sending every soldier $1,776. Think of that, and the checks are already on the way.""
