    President Donald Trump announced Monday that he donated his first quarter salary of 2019 to the Department of Homeland Security.
    “While the press doesn’t like writing about it, nor do I need them to, I donate my yearly Presidential salary of $400,000.00 to different agencies throughout the year, this to Homeland Security,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “If I didn’t do it there would be hell to pay from the FAKE NEWS MEDIA!”

    This man works for America for free.

    Kudo's to Trump for donating towards border security.

    He is a patriot.

    I love Trump. He's the first politician in my lifetime who I can recall actually doing what he said he would due when he was campaigning.

    I wonder how much his properties have made to date off his golf trips?

    Mexico is paying for the wall?
    Hillary is in jail?
    He has fixed the ACA?
    Drained the swamp?
    Brought back world respect for America?
    Being to busy to golf?

    All those or are you talking about something else?

    "This man works for America for free."

    You get what you pay for..... That phrase has never made more sense....

    Didja notice this article and his check are from MARCH?? Didja notice it's now JUNE??

    Didja consider this a Current Event??

    100K is NOTHING compared to a few nights of Saudi activity at his DC Trump Hotel... This is like Trump sitting down at the Presidential Poker table and putting in his ante...

    Meanwhile America's favorite socialist (Congressgirl Arrogant Obnoxious Clown) whines about her six-figure salary and vaguely threatens if she's not paid more she'll just have to turn to the corrupt profession of lobbying.

    Trumps takes tax deduction on his donation to Homeland security .... then spends $104 million on golf trips that he can charge the Secret Service hundreds of thousands for in hotel fees. He's such a hero. Whatever.

    He will probably declare it on his taxes as a business loss.

    He's selfless. Unlike Obama and Joe Biden.

    Trump's never done a selfless thing in his life. He cheats on his wives and family cause his dick is the only thing he thinks with. He declares bankruptcy so he can keep his gold plated toilets while his sub-contractors go broke. Dude's a self centered narcissist. Even he has admitted that.

    Talk about the rich giving back. I’m sick of California wine makers getting rich off tax payers.

    A single trip to Mar-a-Lago averages out to be worth more than 8 years of full presidential salary. If he really wanted to help out the federal government financially, he would keep his presidential salary and pay for his Mar-a-Lago trips

    He could keep the presidential salary and cut out the Mar-a-Lago trips. (Or cut them to one or two per year.) That would REALLY help the budget.

    What kind of sucker falls for this gimmick?

    Oh, that’s right,! One that comes here and tries to pretend that something that happened three months ago is a “Current Event”.

    It isn’t even worth discussing how cynical and dishonest a gimmick like this is on the face of the towering corruption of the Trump Administration.

    One thing Trump knows for sure....there’s one born every minute,

    Empty rhetoric and equally empty flag waving.

    Enjoy your Trump Steak as you contemplate your Trump U degree, and cheer for the non existent secret deal with Mexico that only your fuhrer knows about. Waving a blank piece of paper around in front of a camera is so Joe McCarthy! And the same suckers fall for it every time.

    While Pelosi's House proposes a congressional pay raise, spearheaded by socialist OcraZio Cortex? It might be the single "win" that the 116th House produces quarter. Pelosi passed on balancing Trump's budget. (D)'s tacked on $358bn in earmarks and were done with it. Now the House has to lift spending caps, raise the debt ceiling, and waive $300bn in sequestration cuts ... before August recess. It's a good thing Trump's doing his part, (D)'s aren't funding anything. https://thehill.com/latino/447383-trumps-border-request-faces-fresh-obstacles-in-congress
