特朗普发表黄金时段全国讲话，宣布向逾145万名军人发放1776美元战士红利
美国总统特朗普12月17日晚在华盛顿白宫外交接待室发表全国黄金时段讲话，回顾其上任11个月来的施政，并宣布在圣诞节前向超过145万名军人发放每人1776美元的战士红利。讲话由各大电视网在晚间黄金时段直播，全长不到20分钟，身后立着两棵圣诞树与华盛顿总统的画像。
特朗普在讲话开头说，11个月前，他接手了一个烂摊子，他正在把它修好。他称，本届政府上任第一天就采取行动阻止南部边境的入侵，过去7个月没有一名非法移民被允许进入美国，美国的边境已从全球最差变为美国历史上最强；他还称，自己已恢复美国实力，在10个月内平息了8场战争，摧毁了伊朗的核威胁并结束了加沙战争，为中东带来和平，并促成被扣押人员获释。
经济方面，他称在上一届政府任内汽车价格上涨22%，在许多州上涨30%或更多，汽油价格上涨30%至50%，酒店价格上涨37%，机票价格上涨31%，如今在新政府领导下都在快速回落；他称民主党政客曾把食品杂货成本推高，但感恩节火鸡价格已比去年低33%，鸡蛋价格自3月以来已下跌82%。他称，在上一届政府任内实际工资减少了3000美元，而在本届政府任内典型工厂工人的工资已增加1300美元，建筑工人增加1800美元，矿工增加3300美元，工资增速现已远超通货膨胀；他还称自己已为美国争取到创纪录的18万亿美元投资。
关于战士红利，他说，为纪念美国1776年建国，超过145万名军人将在圣诞节前收到每人1776美元的特别款项，支票已经在路上，资金来自关税收入与刚通过的《一个大而美法案》。他还预告，新的一年里民众将看到美国历史上最大规模减税的成果，包括小费免税、加班费免税与社会安全金免税，许多家庭每年可省下11000至20000美元，明年春季预计将成为有史以来最大的退税季；他并称将很快宣布下一任美联储主席人选，以及美国历史上一些最进取的住房改革计划。

Trump Delivers Primetime Address, Announcing a $1,776 Warrior Dividend for Over 1.45 Million Troops
President Donald Trump delivered a primetime address to the nation on the evening of December 17 from the Diplomatic Reception Room of the White House in Washington, reviewing his first 11 months in office and announcing a $1,776 warrior dividend for more than 1.45 million military service members before Christmas. The address was carried live in primetime on network television and ran under 20 minutes, with two Christmas trees and a portrait of George Washington behind him.
Trump opened by saying that 11 months ago he inherited a mess and was fixing it. He said his administration took immediate action on day one to stop the invasion at the southern border, that for the past seven months zero illegal aliens had been allowed into the country, and that the border had gone from the worst anywhere in the world to the strongest in the history of the country. He also said he had restored American strength, settled eight wars in 10 months, destroyed the Iran nuclear threat and ended the war in Gaza, bringing peace to the Middle East and securing the release of hostages.
On the economy, he said car prices rose 22 percent under the previous administration, and 30 percent or more in many states, while gasoline rose 30 to 50 percent, hotel rates rose 37 percent and airfares rose 31 percent, and that under his leadership they were all coming down fast. He said the price of a Thanksgiving turkey was down 33 percent from the year before and the price of eggs was down 82 percent since March. He said real wages plummeted by $3,000 under his predecessor, while under his administration the typical factory worker had seen a wage increase of $1,300, construction workers $1,800 and miners $3,300, with wages now rising much faster than inflation, and that he had secured a record-breaking $18 trillion of investment into the United States.
On the warrior dividend, he said that in honor of the nation's founding in 1776, more than 1,450,000 military service members would receive $1,776 each before Christmas, that the checks were already on the way, and that the money came from tariffs along with the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill. He also said that in the new year Americans would see the results of the largest tax cuts in American history, including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime and no tax on Social Security, with many families saving between $11,000 and $20,000 a year and next spring projected to be the largest tax refund season of all time, and that he would soon announce the next chairman of the Federal Reserve as well as some of the most aggressive housing reform plans in American history.
