Kept

Promised as president on 17 Dec 2025. Last checked 18 Oct 2026.

“In honor of our nation's founding in 1776, we are sending every soldier $1,776.”

Donald Trump, 17 Dec 2025, Prime-time address from the White House

What happened

Paid in December 2025 as a supplemental housing allowance already funded by Congress, so narrower than the rhetoric suggested.
