President Trump on Friday praised an anonymous donor who contributed $130 million to the Pentagon to pay service members who missed a paycheck amid the ongoing government shutdown.
As the shutdown entered its fourth week, many military personnel faced financial uncertainty. The generous donation helped ensure that those service members received their due compensation on Friday.
“He’s a great gentleman,” President Trump told reporters as he departed the White House for his Asia trip. “He’s a patron.”
Trump’s remarks highlighted the significance of the contribution during a challenging time for government employees and the military community.
