BREAKING NEWS: “ANNOUNCED BILLIONAIRE REVEALS HIS IDENTITY: $130 MILLION TO RESCUE US MILITARY IN THE MIDST OF CRISIS — TRUMP’S SILENT FRIEND CAUSES SHOCK IN WASHINGTON” .

Washington D.C. – In a shocking revelation, the identity of the anonymous donor who donated $130 million to the Pentagon to pay the salaries of American troops during the government shutdown has finally been revealed: Timothy Mellon, the reclusive billionaire and powerful friend of Donald Trump.

According to The New York Times, Mellon – the nephew of former Treasury Secretary Andrew W. Mellon – quietly donated the huge sum, while refusing to appear in public. Trump praised him as a “great patriot,” “a true friend,” and “a symbol of the American spirit.” Many believe the move averted a serious financial crisis in the military.

However, a legal cloud is looming as experts warn that the donation may violate the Antideficiency Act, which prevents federal agencies from spending over budget or accepting voluntary donations. Still, the Pentagon insisted it accepted the money under its legal right to accept gifts—setting off a fierce debate about the line between “patriotism” and “plutocratic power.”

Mellon had previously poured tens of millions of dollars into the campaigns of Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., making him one of the most influential individual donors in modern American politics. In his 2015 memoir, he described himself as a quiet patriot who chose to live in seclusion so that he could “do more than talk.”

While Washington debated the legality of his actions, many Americans saw him as a model of absolute loyalty—a man willing to dip into his own pocket to protect a soldier in their darkest hour. And it seemed that, in a country filled with conflict, Timothy Mellon had inadvertently become a new symbol of sacrifice—and controversy.
