President Trump’s first-quarter salary of $100,000 will go toward the Department of Veterans Affairs, the White House announced Thursday, one day after the House passed a major VA reform bill.
The president’s donation will primarily support care-giving programs at the VA, press secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters. Acting VA Secretary Robert Wilkie added that it “underscores [Trump’s] promise to do all that he can for veterans, which includes supporting those who care” for those returning from war.
Trump has donated his salary to various government agencies each quarter since taking office. Previous donations have gone to the Department of Transportation, the National Park Service, the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services.
