President Trump Fights for Troops While Democrats Fight for Illegal Aliens

President Trump assured military troops that he would make sure they receive "every last penny" despite the prolonged government shutdown caused by Democrats during his remarks at Naval Station Norfolk on Sunday in honor of the U.S. Navy's 250th anniversary.
“The U.S. Navy always stands for America—and as Commander-in-Chief, I will always stand for you,” Trump said to the audience during his speech. "We will get our service members every last penny," he continued, "despite the current shutdown that Democrats have imposed." Assuring sailors and troops that "every sailor and service member" will be taken care of, Trump reiterated his support for pay increases across all branches of the military.
Due to their critical position, service members continue to work during shutdowns, but if the standoff lasts longer than two weeks, future paychecks may be delayed, according to the National Military Family Association. To ensure ongoing military pay, lawmakers have introduced the Pay Our Troops Act (H.R. 5401).
