President Trump's Charitable Donations of His Salary

When Donald John Trump took office in January 2017 he promised to donate his $400,000 a year salary to charity and other good uses on behalf of the American People. The mainstream media, however, tends to ignore this and the great majority of citizens do not know anything about either his generosity, or where he gives all that money. Even in a search online it was difficult to find complete information, but I did manage to dig up the facts, at least through the 2nd quarter of 2019. I did find that he did, indeed, donate in the 3rd and 4th quarter, but was unable to dig up details as to who the funds went to. It may not be published as yet.

To date, President Trump has donated the entire $1.2 million dollars of his salary for the public good. You would think that would be considered news in the media, but most do not even mention it. And that is the reason for this post. If you find it of interest and believe more people should be made aware, please pass this post on to everyone you know.

So, for the sake of promoting knowledge, here are the details of his donations, by year and quarter:

FIRST QUARTER 2017 - $100,000 to the National Park Service to help with long-deferred maintenance projects on the nations 25 battlefields

SECOND QUARTER 2017 - $100,000 to the Department of Education to fund a STEM-focused camp for students

THIRD QUARTER 2017 - $100,000 to the Department of Health and Human Services to combat the opioid epidemic

FOURTH QUARTER 2017 - $100,000 to the Department of Transportation to support its programs to rebuild and modernize the crumbling infrastructure

FIRST QUARTER 2018 - $100,000 to the Department of Veterans Affairs to support its caregiver programs

SECOND QUARTER 2018 - $100,000 to the Small Business Administration to assist veterans transitioning from military life into the private sector

THIRD QUARTER 2018 - $100,000 to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism for research

FOURTH QUARTER 2018 - $100,000 to the Department of Homeland Security

FIRST QUARTER 2019 - $100,000 to the Department of Agriculture

SECOND QUARTER 2019 - $100,000 to the Office of the Surgeon General

Anyone unaware of these donations, and who they benefited, might consider getting their news from a source that at least mentions President Trump's hundreds of accomplishments in just 3 years, that they might be informed enough to make their own decisions.
