A CHRISTMAS GIFT TO OUR WARRIORS: PRESIDENT TRUMP’S $1,776 BONUS Cartoon published 12/19/2025 Tis the season of joy, lights, and heartfelt giving—and this year, President Trump is playing the role of a very generous Santa Claus for America’s military heroes. In a heartwarming holiday announcement, President Trump revealed that over 1.45 million active-duty service members and eligible reservists will receive a special one-time “Warrior Dividend” bonus of $1,776 just in time for Christmas. This tax-free payment, symbolic of the year our nation declared its independence, is a direct thank-you to the brave men and women who defend our freedoms every day. As Trump declared in his address to the nation, “Nobody deserves it more than our military!” Imagine the smiles around Christmas trees on bases across the country and overseas—extra cash for holiday meals, gifts for loved ones, or simply a well-earned boost during the festive season. It’s a merry reminder that under President Trump’s leadership, our troops come first. Contrast this with the previous administration’s approach. While Joe Biden’s policy enforced a COVID-19 vaccine mandate on the military—leading to thousands of discharges and separations over personal medical choices—President Trump delivers tangible appreciation instead of mandates. One brings joy and generosity like a sack full of presents; the other, well… let’s just say it felt more like a lump of coal (or in the cartoon’s words, a “COVID jab” from “Bad Santa”). This Christmas, our warriors are getting the gift they truly deserve: recognition, respect, and a patriotic bonus from a President who has their backs. Merry Christmas to our troops—and thank you, President Trump, for making the season brighter for those who sacrifice the most! Merry Christmas! —The GrrrTeam
