Trump Donates First 3 Months Salary to National Park Service
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and Harpers Ferry National Historic Park Superintendent Tyrone Brandyburg accept Trump’s donation check from White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
During the campaign, candidate Trump promised, “If I’m elected president, I’m accepting no salary.” Today, President Trump began to fulfill that commitment. He has donated his first three months of salary to the National Park Service.
Press Secretary Sean Spicer announced the move at his Monday briefing, presenting a check for $78,333.32 to Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. “The President has spoken with counsel and made the decision to donate his first-quarter salary to a government entity,” Spicer said.
Zinke noted that the donation will be directed to maintaining historic battlefield sites.
A question for the Ricochetti: Where should Trump direct next quarter’s donation?

If Donald Trump walked on water there are folks who would state he cannot swim.

What are the odds that, just out of habit, he gives it to Chuck Schumer?
And if Donald Trump repeatedly proved beyond a doubt that he was so inept a swimmer that he should never be let near any body of water, there are folks who would still think he’s Jesus.
See? We can both do that. I don’t know as it gets us anywhere.
I think the idea here is that you were unnecessarily (or un-libertarianly) critical, to the point of using profanity, of a pretty innocuous action by DT. The reciprocal argument you’re making doesn’t seem relevant to any of the comments here.
If he walked on water, that would mean he is OK near water. By saying someone who cannot swim but can walk on water should not be allowed to be near water because he can’t swim, you are proving the point. Heh
If he doesn’t sink he’s a witch. Amirite?
A witch!
Did you think I was talking about you? Why?
