Trump donates quarterly salary to Veterans Affairs

(UPI) — President Donald Trump donated his $100,000 quarterly salary to the Department of Veterans Affairs, the White House announced on Thursday.

“As you all know, President Trump is deeply committed to our veterans,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters. “These brave men and women have given so much to our country and deserve our absolute best, which is why this President is fighting for reform and accountability at the VA.”

Acting Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie accepted the check at a White House press briefing and said the money will go toward mental health and peer support programs, financial aid, education training, and research.

“The president’s gift underscores his promise to do all he can for vets, which includes supporting those who care for veterans,” Wilkie said. “Not just those of us at VA, but the husbands, the wives, the families and the community caregivers who are out there day in and day out.”

Trump has donated each of his quarterly salary checks to federal agencies since taking office.

His previous donations have gone to the Department of Transportation, National Park Service, Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services.

Ask yourself, Has any other President ever donated their paycheck to anything. Don’t have to think to long, the answer is NO. He gets very little recognition for this. So spread the word on it.
Thank you MR. President.

I’m sure that the Dems will invent some hidden motive in the president’s generocity! They off course have had no comment on Obama’s going in a pauper and coming out a multi millionaire, who partook and milked EVERY little benefit he and his whole family could have squeezed out of the system!
