We hope the United States Armed Forces will resist the Trumpist offensive, honoring their oath to "support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic".
The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.
