<p>President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he had found a way to make sure that American service members would be paid on October 15th, in spite of the Democrat-driven government shutdown.</p>
<p>Trump made the announcement via his Truth Social platform, saying that he had directed War Secretary Pete Hegseth to take steps to ensure that payment immediately.</p>
<p>“Chuck Schumer recently said, ‘Every day gets better’ during their Radical Left Shutdown. I DISAGREE!” Trump began.</p>
<p>“If nothing is done, because of ‘Leader’ Chuck Schumer and the Democrats, our Brave Troops will miss the paychecks they are rightfully due on October 15th,” he continued. “That is why I am using my authority, as Commander in Chief, to direct our Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to use all available funds to get our Troops PAID on October 15th.”</p>
<p>Trump went on to say that he had already found a workaround and was pushing forward with it.</p>

<p>“We have identified funds to do this, and Secretary Hegseth will use them to PAY OUR TROOPS,” he declared. “I will not allow the Democrats to hold our Military, and the entire Security of our Nation, HOSTAGE, with their dangerous Government Shutdown.”</p>
<p>The president concluded with a call for Democrats to vote to reopen the government, saying, “The Radical Left Democrats should OPEN THE GOVERNMENT, and then we can work together to address Healthcare, and many other things that they want to destroy. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”</p>
<p>“President Trump delivers for the troops,” War Secretary Pete Hegseth added.</p>
<p>Hegseth also praised House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for making appearances across media outlets to talk about what was really going on.</p>
<p>&#8220;Unlike @TheDemocrats, this Administration will ensure that no military-dependent child goes without health care or medicine during the Democrat Government Shutdown,&#8221; Hegseth said.</p>
<p>“Kudos to the @SpeakerJohnson for blanketing the airwaves and giving Americans the facts about the shutdown,” he added. “Shame on Chuck Schumer for voting NO and preventing our brave troops from getting a paycheck.”</p>

<p>CNBC host Joe Kernen addressed the shutdown with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) days earlier, arguing that Democrats were effectively trying to use a government shutdown to undo duly-passed legislation because they didn’t agree with it.</p>
