    The White House announced on Friday that President Trump will donate his second quarter salary of $100,000 to the Surgeon General's office.


    The donation is Trump's third salary offering to the Department of Health and Human Services.

    "The President recognizes the important mission of the Surgeon General to protect and improve the health of all Americans, including helping to tackle the opioid epidemic and raise awareness of the dangers of e-cigarette usage among teenagers and children," a White House statement said.

    Trump works for free.

    He is donating his salary yet again to a worthwhile cause.

    No doubt the MSM will shower him with praise over this selfless move.

    President Donald Trump has agreed to shut down his family's embattled Trump Foundation, following investigators' allegations the charity misused funds by directing them to Mr. Trump or his businesses. The attorney general alleged the foundation engaged in a "a shocking pattern of illegality."

    Oh look a billionaire using donations to write down their tax liability.

    How much has his golf courses and hotels made from his presidency again?
    How much has he cost the US in golf fees alone?
    Secret service hotel rooms at trump resorts?

    Sad how easily some are fooled

    His golf trips to his properties have cost taxpayers over $110 MILLION in his first two and a half years.He has made his salary back a thousand fold just in Secret Service room charges.

    Unlike previous (typical) politicians, he made his money in the real world (private sector) prior to getting elected.

    I wondered how long it would take for the alt-leftie to come on board and start screeching.
    Thanks for the laughs kids.

    Can you imagine hating someone so much to attack them when they give to charity?

    It's like you answered a question only you could hear. He has donated his entire salary, like he said he would. It's a fact.

    Zero evidence for anything I just posted?...

    Well three were questions and the first is a very common tax strategy, questions are inherently lacking evidence or they wouldn’t be questions, they would be statements.

    I would link trumps tax returns that he promised to release but he lied so I cannot.
    I will concede there is a small percentage of a chance that he might be the only billionaire that doesn’t write off charitable donations.

    He did have to close his charity down for being fraudulent so maybe he stopped, who knows.

    He is not doing this out of generosity. His record of charity is poor. He made this donating crap just to buy political capital. Hell Jack Kennedy donated his salary to some charity also. A billionaire donating his government salary is one big BFD.

    I wonder if either Clinton or Obama, Warren, Sanders, Harris...etc ever loaned their private jet to fly a sick child to medical care? Or gave a personal check for 10K to volunteer in need?
    Donald Trump sends $10,000 check to former campaign volunteer ...

    Feb 1, 2017 - President Trump sends 24-year-old Illinois man a personal check in the mail after meeting him at the inauguration.

    No, it's not a Trump lie, but @Capt Nice covered the whole reason why Trump does this in post #2....

    I always laugh when US Cons posts the quarterly Trump 100K donation... it's one of the best running gags on this forum...

    Who did that?? The Office of the Surgeon General is not a charity....

    The only charity Trump likely knows personally is the one who works the 9pm to Midnite shift at Scores Palm Beach....

    Dirty Donald also claimed he donated to veterans organizations until they called him a liar.
