Trump announces $1,776 ‘warrior dividend’ payout for military personnel
President Trump announced $1,776 payments to 1.45 million military personnel funded by tariff revenue, totaling nearly $2.6 billion, as a holiday bonus before Christmas.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced in a prime-time White House address that more than 1.45 million military service members will receive $1,776 each as a `Warrior Dividend` before Christmas.
- Trump said the payments were funded by tariffs and the 'One Big, Beautiful Bill,' framing the move as redirecting funds to the military, with the funding source attributed to the president.
- The White House said the "warrior dividend" program total is $2.57bn, with officials confirming checks are already being sent to arrive before Christmas.
- The move raised constitutional questions as it is unclear if checks can be issued without Congressional approval.
- With affordability as a top issue, the move follows Trump's previous proposals, including a $2,000 tariff rebate idea and a $130 million private donation precedent, ahead of 2026 midterms.
