During a rare, primetime White House address to the American public on Wednesday, President Trump announced the distribution of bonus checks to military members to help ease financial pressures during the Christmas season. The checks, in the amount of $1,776, to correspond to the year 1776 when the United States was founded, “are already on the way,” to 1.4 million service personnel.
The announcement was one of several economic issues the president addressed during the brief, 18-minute speech which began with him saying, “Good evening, America. 11 months ago I inherited a mess and I’m fixing it.”
