President Trump is donating $100,000 of his presidential salary to repair monuments that were damaged over the months by rioters.
The funds, which equate to a quarter of his annual presidential pay, will be funneled to the U.S. National Park service.
“I promised YOU I would not take a dime of salary as your President. I donate the entire $400,000! It is my honor to give $100,000 to @NatlParkService to help repair and restore our GREAT National Monuments. So important to our American History! Thank You!!”

Here’s where Trump has donated his presidential salary so far, broken up into quarters:
2017
Q1 National Parks Service
Q2 Department of Education
Q3 Health and Human Services
Q4 Department of Transportation
2018
Q1 Department of Veterans Affairs
Q2 Small Business Administration
Q3 National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism
Q4 Department of Homeland Security
2019

Q3 Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health
Q4 Department of Health and Human Services
That last donation in 2019 (fiscal year, the calendar year was 2020) to the Department of Health and Human Services was, according to President Trump and White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, specifically intended to advance research in combatting the spread of COVID-19.
President @realDonaldTrump made a commitment to donate his salary while in office. Honoring that promise and to further protect the American people, he is donating his 2019 Q4 salary to @HHSGov to support the efforts being undertaken to confront, contain, and combat #Coronavirus. pic.twitter.com/R6KUQmBRl1

To be fair, he hasn’t donated 100% of his salary, which critics are often quick to note. But, by law, he has to take some of his salary. So, President Trump has kept $1 each year from his presidential salary.
What a miser.
This is eclipsed by the estimated $135 Million in taxpayer dollars deposited into his corporate account (over the past 3 years) due to his constant trips to his own golf resorts. WE pay HIM for all the rooms occupied by staff, security, etc.
We paid for Ibama’s frequent family trips too. But he kept his salary and became a rich man because he was president.
I’m so proud to be a Trump supporter and I’m proud to be an American. TRUMPPENCE 2020
I am from Ontario ,Canada and we need DJT to help us.
Trudeau is like the Biden Democrats leading us down the dark abyss of communism.
we believe that he is owned lock stock and barrel by China.
He and his party are corrupt and the opposition parties are not available to us as the NDP support him for their own greed. We fear for his alleged pedophilla involvement and what that will do for our country if his trek for a coup continues.
DJT has recently announced his support for the rail line from Alberta to Alaska and Trudeau is soon to announce his blockage of it. Canada could be self sufficient with Alberta’s oil if Trudeau was not so entrenched with China
There are many more atrocities I could mention the sale of our gold mines to china, the fact that China was awarded the contract of our National Security at our Canadian embassies over Canadian contractors , etc. etc.
Recently Leslyn Lewis wrote an article about Trudeau and his intended coup. HELP IS NEEDED IN CANADA
