Trump, appearing at Fort Drum, pledges to rebuild ‘devastated’ military By Pete DeMola STA FF W RITER

FORT DRUM | American flags. Rock and roll. Heavy artillery. Hundreds of soldiers. Helicopters and armored vehicles everywhere. President Trump touched down at Fort Drum on Monday to sign the National Defense Authorization Act, the $716 billion defense spending bill which contains a 2.6 percent pay boost and significant increases in military equipment spending. The president called the bill the “most significant investment in our military and our warfighters in modern history.” “I’m very, very proud to be a big, big part of it,” said Trump, who delivered remarks in a hanger full of 10th Mountain Division soldiers who frequently erupted into whoops and cheers.

‘CLIMB TO GLORY’

Trump gently ribbed Rep. Elise Stefanik, the House Armed Services member who invited him to visit the installation in March. “I have to tell you about Elise,” Trump said. “She called me so many times. And I said, ‘I don’t want to pick up the call.’ She wanted me to be here. I said, ‘I won’t be able to. We’ll have to change a lot of scheduling.’ “But that didn’t suit her,” he said. “Elise, come here.” “She’s an incredible representative,” Trump added. » Trump Cont. on pg. 14
