March 19, 2019President Trump hasn’t been taking a paycheck. People seem to be forgetting that. It’s really commendable, but I know the left is allergic to giving him props for anything.
Because he legally has to accept a salary, he’s been consistently donating it. In the past, he’s donated to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, the Department of Transportation and HHS in order to combat the nation’s opioid crisis.
His latest paycheck went to the Department of Homeland Security. Heck. Yeah.
Can we basically call this a direct wall donation? Because it feels like a direct wall donation.
Ir…maybe not. There’s a bump in the road.
Although Trump pledged to donate his salary to DHS, federal regulations prohibit agencies from accepting donated funds unless Congress grants authority to the agency to accept the donation. Without congressional authorization, donated money is deposited into the general fund of the Department of Treasury.
Still. Trump is keeping his word.
