Trump has no legal mechanism to pay the troops but he says he's doing so anyway under "my authority".

It seems to me to be a win-win for Trump.
If he breaks the law but gets away with it - he'll say he paid the troops. Americans are far more interested in results than the law.
If the courts stop him - he'll either say "The courts stopped me!" or he'll lie and say "The democrats stopped me!"
