Trump announces $1,776 warrior dividend checks for U.S. service members before Christmas. About 1.45 million active-duty troops are expected to receive the one-time payment. The plan injects nearly $2.6 billion into households with strong holiday spending. Economists see a short-term consumption boost but limited macroeconomic impact overall nationwide. Funding sources, eligibility rules, and payment timing remain unclear ahead of Christmas.
