President Trump provided law enforcement and military personnel working to protect him on Christmas Day with a full holiday meal, picking up the tab personally.
CNN’s Noah Gray relayed the story, saying “President Trump is spending Christmas day with family at Mar A Lago, while providing a feast for military and law enforcement.”
He went on to report that the “full Christmas spread” included hundreds of meals featuring a turkey and dessert buffet.
Gray added that the meals were “being paid for privately by the Trumps,” something Administration officials confirmed.
It was an incredible holiday gesture to those who work so hard to protect the Commander-in-Chief.

This isn’t the first time President Trump has shown extreme gratitude for the men and women who serve and protect him.
A few months earlier, an officer working the President’s motorcade crashed his motorcycle and Trump refused to leave until he knew the man was okay.
The police department at the time called Trump’s actions “compassionate leadership.”

Last March, leading up to the dog days of the 2016 presidential campaign, then-candidate Trump met with representatives from the Fraternal Order of Police.
“As I traveled the country during my campaign, I had the great privilege to spend time with our amazing police officers who risk their lives every day to keep us safe,” he said.
“And I made a crucial pledge …” he added. “I will always have your back — 100 percent.”
Not only does the President have their back, but he’s helping out their empty stomachs a bit too.
Well done, Mr. President!
Does Trump treat our law enforcement and military members better than Obama did? Tell us what you think below!
