President Donald Trump announced that an anonymous billionaire, described by him as a «great friend» and a true patriot, has delivered a check for $130 million directly to the federal government.

This fund is intended to cover any deficit in the salaries of active military personnel, affected by the prolonged government shutdown orchestrated by Democrats in Congress. «He sent us a $130 million check today!» Trump exclaimed, emphasizing that the donor rejects any public recognition.

The announcement took place during an event at the White House, where Trump did not hold back his criticism of the «Democrat-led government shutdown,» which he blamed for jeopardizing U.S. armed forces.

"He called us the other day and said: 'I'd like to contribute to any shortfall you have due to the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute personally to any shortfall the military might have, because I love the military and I love the country, and any shortfall, if there is one, I'll contribute,'" Trump recounted.

This patriotic gesture arrives at a critical moment: the budget deadlock threatens to delay payments to hundreds of thousands of soldiers, reservists, and families, despite a prior executive order from Trump that redirected unused research funds to mitigate the damage.

This donation is not only a financial lifeline but also a reminder of how the private sector—driven by patriotic values—can correct the disasters caused by leftist obstruction.

The money will go entirely to the Department of Defense to ensure timely paychecks, easing pressure on the Pentagon. Trump praised the donor as a «patriot» acting out of love for the nation, not for applause.

The news has sparked a wave of admiration, with speculation about the philanthropist's identity. Could it be Elon Musk, a close ally of Trump and staunch advocate for military innovation?

While Democrats continue to block budget agreements over ideological agendas—such as rejecting secure immigration reforms—this private initiative highlights Trump's leadership in protecting our uniformed heroes.

The Epoch Times details how the check, sent this Thursday, prevents a major collapse in military operations, allowing focus to remain on global threats like China and Iran.
