President Trump Donates First Quarter Salary To VA

President Donald Trump made a $100,000 donation to the Department of Veteran Affairs. Trump promised to donate his annual presidential salary of $400,000 back to the government. The check was accepted by acting VA Secretary Robert Wilkie, who Trump officially nominated to become the permanent head of the department

Wilkie said that the money would be used to fund caregiver support programs.

“The president’s gift underscores his promise to do all that he can for veterans, which includes supporting those who care for our veterans — 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, making life easier for those who have borne the battle.”

The Transportation Department, the Health and Human Services Department, the National Park Service and the Education Department all received $100,000 donations from Trump during his first year in office.
