WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is donating his third-quarter salary to help tackle the nation’s opioid epidemic.
A White House official says Trump has given the $100,000 he would be paid in the quarter to the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health, which oversees federal public health offices and programs, including the surgeon general’s office.
The White House says the funds are being earmarked “to continue the ongoing fight against the opioid crisis.”
Trump has made tackling the misuse of opioids an administration priority. More than 70,000 Americans died in 2017 from drug overdoses, the bulk of them involving opioids.
Trump is required to be paid, but he has pledged to donate his salary while in office to worthy causes. Trump donated his second-quarter salary to the surgeon general’s office.
How much have we paid for his golf trips to date ? https://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckjones/2019/07/10/trumps-golf-trips-could-cost-taxpayers-over-340-million/#3084905128aa
Nathan Conway probably nothing
Gaye Galluccio If $105 million dollars is NOTHING.. Ill take that off your hands!
If the president wants to go golfing, it is the government responsibility to break out air Force one and fly him there. It is also the government responsibility to supply secret service detail during the trip.
Same as when Obama used to fly his entire family to Hawaii.
Same as when Bush used to fly to his ranch.
GET OVER IT, IT DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR PERSONAL WEALTH.
The presidential budget is automatically in place at the beginning of every year and it is not affected by any shutdowns or any of that nonsense.
Nathan Conway a lot less than Obama and his husband! Js
Nathan Conway just like Obama or any other president. Yawn.
Nathan Conway
For the people that arent that bright Ill break it down for you REAL quick. Trump spends $105 million (according to article) taxpayer dollars on golf to date. And he “donates” his $100,000 salary to opioids. Hmmmm How about you take your salary and pay for your OWN golf trips?!? And then we can budget up to that 105 million to opioids? This goes for Obama and any other person in public office as well!
Nathan Conway stop your hating liberal boy
Danny Scarpati that money spent is tax payers dollars.. What dont you get about that ? Im sure we could spend that money elsewhere more useful.. Maybe the veterans could use some funding …
Michael Newnom…, you’re stupid!!! Trump’s personal trips have already cost more then Obama’s entire 8 years. Go research in thre federal government’s Accounting site. There are decades of information there but, that would mean you would have to read (problem for Trump supporters) and understand it (problem for Trump supporters) and believe facts (HUGE PROBLEM FOR TRUMP SUPPORTERS)!!!!
William Blastoff Im a libertarian! ????♂️
Nathan Conway show us on a doll where Trump touched you. (I bet it was your pussy)
But But I’ll be 2 busy working to go golfing ! Lie # 648
Brandon Calogero ask your daughter .. Trump likes em young!
Nathan Conway tough guy talking about an 8 n 6 year old… nice, ya pedo
Lew Fiord
Brandon Calogero you are the Tough GUY! LMAO
Lew Fiord
The numbers are skewed. Look at the costs of the entire first families going back say……. Ohhhh 25 years or more. Now take inflation into account. Now figure in all of these numbers include Secret Service salaries, protection and so on that are incurred whether the POTUS is in DC, camp David, or chillin in Manilla. Problem with both sides is your being fed BS and keep going for a bigger freaking spoon. It’s the government and media. Both sides are full of crap and you’ll all take whatever internet information as gospel. SMH, wake up
Lew Fiord #trump2020
Scott Simpson Im not saying the number are gospel. But the point of my post stands. Both side do it.. and that doesnt mean its RIGHT!
The numbers are BS
Scott Simpson go to the government website.. the number arent BS
Nathan Conway thats right you only see the bad you typical snowflake.
How many other Presidents donated there salary huh mo??
How many trips or vacations have we paid for for past presidents??
If he used his own money you would complain about that also.
Get over youtself dink.
Nathan Conway when the president wants to go it is the government’s job to get him there. Is it also the government’s job to provide secret service detail for him and his family. This is the way it has been for decades and decades. Get over it
Carlos Martinho https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2017/02/06/obama-donated-over-1-million-to-charity-as-president-heres-where-the-money-went/#9cd372b459e0
Everyone wants to be pissed about a party they hate. Cooler heads prevail ! The numbers that link feeds are expenses incurred for executive protection NO MATTER WHAT the first family does. A sitting POTUS can hide in a bunker for 4 years and still incur the same cost of food, staff, protection etc
What a terrible man
Queue the bitchy posts saying it’s not enough…. (Insert eye roll)
TRUMP 2020
Best President, ever !! A man of the people ..
Trump/ Pence 2020 Perfect Vision
Thomas Calvanese I agree. but as always there are those who hate. see comments below. But if this were one of the democrats who did this, then that would be wonderful. Just sayin
U gotta love when he does something good there will always b idiots to justify something else!
oh good more free narcan While diabetics cant afford insulin remember save the junkies ????
John Cavalier are you even intelligent enough to hear how dumb you sound?read that stupid comment of yours again….you can’t be THAT fuckn moronic
Kellee-shea Graham I see we have an addict
Kellee-shea Graham oh God I remember you pure trash
John Cavalier ????????????
John Cavalier only trash here is you dirtbag.
Pick on woman and im sure you beat them also.
Carlos Martinho Oh yeah I’m the one that started picking Obviously you don’t remember her last post
John Cavalier we are all God’s children. Jesus loves all of us! I never had to battle opioid addiction but I did have to battle alcohol and other things. It is ones choice but it’s still hard to come out of it once one gets hooked. Empathy goes a long way in this battle. Statistically, we all have someone in our family who’s an addict. Have some compassion, you’ll need that reciprocated one day.
Michael Hayes Moore Exactly drugs are a choice
John Cavalier you’ve never made any bad choices in your life?
Michael Hayes Moore I’ve been clean for 9 years sweetie
Michael Hayes Moore I grew up and stopped making badd choices but I didn’t expect anybody to pay for it
Michael Hayes Moore I never thought it was a disease it was badd choices
John Cavalier that’s awesome. Congrats! Im not referred to as sweetie but ok. I’ve been sober and drug free going on 11 years this FEB. it’s a battle and I would think you would be more sensitive to others in the battle.
Michael Hayes Moore I’m more sensitive to people with real diseases They didn’t choose to get them
John Cavalier I agree that it isn’t a disease. I do think that people are genetically prone for addiction and alcoholism.
Michael Hayes Moore Congratulations on staying clean
Michael Hayes Moore true
John Cavalier I understand what you’re saying but please don’t go out of your way to be insensitive to those in the struggle. It doesn’t help. If you’ve been through it, then you know encouragement goes a long way.
Michael Hayes Moore The one thing that helped me get clean was when people stop sugar coating it and called me what I was a junkie
John Cavalier thank you.
John Cavalier what helped me is when everyone turned their back on me and I lost everything. I’m blessed to be alive.
Michael Hayes Moore Everyone cut me off completely and that made me see who i was
John Cavalier happy thanksgiving. Just try to be more encouraging to others. The world needs more love bro.
Michael Hayes Moore i will try it’s hard because im mean af ????
John Cavalier I like to be nice. I’m a gentle giant unless someone messes with my family. That’s when old school Mike comes out.
Michael Hayes Moore happy Thanksgiving to you and your family
In breaking news, Democrats have now declared it racist, sexist and homophobic to fight to opioid crisis
While the donation is good… The only reason for it is tax deductions… Trump doesn’t do anything that isn’t self-serving.
Kristen Sawyer but of course you think that way moron. CNN brainwashed much???
He could solve the hunger problem in this world and you would still spin it negatively.
Carlos Martinho it’s amazing some people just can’t see through his facade.
Carlos Martinho brainwashed? Not at all – educate yourself. This is fact.
Carlos Martinho and literally 2 minutes ago … “John Cavalier only trash here is you dirtbag.
Pick on woman and im sure you beat them also.”
Chris Matuszak exactly. And it’s both amazing and sad that they see others as “brainwashed” – many are too simple to get it.
Carlos Martinho but he couldn’t solve a math problem let alone the hunger problem. How about he solve the water problem? Oh that’s right he doesn’t believe there is one.
Kristen Sawyer that’s the only reason anyone donates. So why just point it out with him?
I guess its true, no matter what this guy does its bad, wtf is a matter with these people.
Kristen Sawyer I was watching Netflix the other day and they have this documentary about cults. And it pretty much explains the MAGA people.
Many are passionate about causes and donate not just for the tax deductions (and much more than this) and also don’t alert the press..) This is all to distract… And personal gains. I’m pointing this out because a lot of folks as you see on this post don’t even realize that…And actually think this is done out of the goodness of his heart ????????????♀️
Thomas Walsh the only reason I donate is to help others. I don’t even include it in my taxes. So there are people who give simply because they want to with no ulterior motives.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Trump as lost money running and being president tell me one on the that has done the same. Insulting peoples views you oppose is not the best way to win them over.
This is just a token feel good gesture so his base can say “look at all the good things he does “. It’s unbelievable this even made the news. What’s next? Maybe he’ll leave a few bucks in the donation bin at McDonald’s.
Tim Higgins how many times have you donated YOUR salary?
Jenny Pea ummm, I don’t have the kind of money he has. It’s not a hardship for him to donate his salary. For most people it would make them homeless.
Jenny Pea ????????????????
Jenny Pea Leftists only like donating other people’s money.
Tim Higgins how many times has any other president donated their salaries? And to what organizations. Get over yourself. Loser!
Tim Higgins he could cure cancer and youd find fault in it
Trump 2020
Tim Higgins and what did Obama do?
Paul J. Hansen since you asked he donated over $1million to charities https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2017/02/06/obama-donated-over-1-million-to-charity-as-president-heres-where-the-money-went/#50a01130459e
Trump said he didn’t want a salary remember that ? Just another one of his lies !!!
Nancy Rebecca how? He donated it…
Nancy Rebecca um he’s donated his salary every quarter. So where’s the lie?
Matthew Horner too many to list .
Nancy Rebecca no Nancy you called this a lie! Not something else let’s not forget every president lies just like bama
Matthew Horner yes but this guy takes the cake !!!#
Nancy Rebecca oh right! TDS
And it cost us $102M for his golfing so far.
Jamie Sundermann you’re stupid, he owns his own courses. Also has billions of dollars. You shouldn’t trust Facebook links, they aren’t real news.
Thomas Walsh who do you think pays for his security? Their lodgings? Etc…
Thomas Walsh you think he would let himself play for free when the government could pay him?
Thomas Walsh its not a suprise he has your support …… he relies on the super stupid like you,
John E Baumgartner I think you people would believe anything that’s written about this man and it’s sad. I’m not a trump supporter but I can figure out what bullshit and not, especially when it’s just here say with no proof.
Thomas Walsh what’s false?
John E Baumgartner I said it has no proof. How can you believe something with out proof? You just don’t like the guy, which don’t get me wrong he’s a douche, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to put thought into what’s said about him, you blindly following proof less shit that’s a reflection on you not him.
John E Baumgartner beside you guys had no problem with the money spent on that “impeachment trial”. But hey it’s ok if people waist money, as long as trump doesn’t do it. ???? has a shit ton of golf courses and billions of dollars, but he’s more likely to miss treat funds then the other members of government that feel like they don’t have or make enough money. ????????????????????????????
Thomas Walsh These people all get their news from Occupy Democrats. ????????????
Victoria Cambridge I don’t support trump, voted against him. Should learn about people before you lay out half fast assumptions.
Victoria Cambridge I’m just not weak minded and believe every little thing said about the man just because I don’t like him as a person.
Thomas Walsh Talk about stupid! And, I was wrong it’s $115M!
Kristen Sawyer Us!
Victoria Cambridge Drumpf , “Loves the uneducated!”
Jamie Sundermann ???? I’m uneducated, but every single one of you can’t read that I’m not a trump supporter. Get out of here with you half fast assumption and picked for you opinions.
Jamie Sundermann if you believe no one in the Democratic Party takes money, you have no right to call anyone uneducated.
Jamie Sundermann also trump may be an asshole. But it seems every time the democrats mess up or don’t come through a school gets shot up. Man one hell of a coincidence.
Since we throwing around proof less information.
Jamie Sundermann and Obama’s family vacations cost just as much
Paul J. Hansen proof? None, I’m sure!
omg a bunch of you are a bunch of haters. Y’all need to take a look at your life if you can take a shit on something positive like this. I wonder how many of you who are ripping up other people for being happy about this….don’t do shit for others. Don’t volunteer at the recovery centers, don’t volunteer at the homeless shelters, don’t donate money, or time anywhere. Get a fucking grip and stop hating each other. And stop shitting on people who support the president. You’re stuck with him. Try and research all the positive stuff he’s doing. Because it’s a lot more than the last 5 have done. Some of you are just never happy. You could be given a Pot if God damn gold and would find something negative about it. This guy isn’t my hero. I may have not even voted for him. But wanna know what I don’t do? Cry like a fucking baby and attack other people on Facebook calling them stupid like the girl above.
Probably the one and only thing I agree with him on doing.. oh and making animal cruelty a federal felony.
Shâüñ Påtrįçk isn’t it ironic though… That his sons hunt for sport?
Kristen Sawyer indeed it is???? he’s trying desperately to get more people to vote for him in 2020
Shâüñ Påtrįçk thanks for finding some thing positive rather than negative though.
Shâüñ Påtrįçk won’t get my vote
He spaent 287 years worth of his salry on his golf trips so blow me this bullshit post.
Brett Huber u look ignorant lmfao
Kate Patricia Carol Porro yeah im ignorant because I state facts.
Brett Huber 115 million is nothing, obama spent the same amount. But yet here you’re bashing the white man.
Brett Huber how do you really feel? O that’s right no one gives a shit!
Brady Donovan wrong and he was in office for 8 years racist.
Edward Jones who the fuck are you? Oh thats right i stepped in your once in my yard
Brett Huber I want the facts on why Trump is such a bad president. Quantitative data, actual measureable fact, no “he is so mean, I’m so offended, he is racist because CNN says so”
Dean Booth i dont waste time on morons. If you dont know by now then you are a lost cause
Thank you Mr President your doing a great job keep going….Trump 2020 and True leader best ever
While making millions off his position
Chris Matuszak you mean like all prior Presidents have??
Hmmm but let me guess its not ok cause its Trump????
Carlos Martinho you just praised him because he donated his salary like he doesn’t care about the money. News flash chief … ITS ALL HE HAS EVER CARED ABOUT !!! and of course his ego. Research his life. He would sue people if they said he was as wealthy as he claimed he was, he would meet with reporters as long as when they wrote their story they referred to him as “billionaire Donald Trump”. If possible think about that. IF he was even close to as wealthy as he claims, why not release them tax returns and say “See !? I am rich !! “ what’s he hiding ?? And he is in desperation mode now because he knows that when he had to hand over them WH keys in January 2021, he will be dealing with criminal charges the rest of his life. Taxes, bank fraud, among other things. Go do some research and stop with the fox news
Chris Matuszak How is he making millions off of his position? How about some facts… oh that’s right, your side don’t deal in facts
Paul Haller Not one of these idiots have posted any real sources to any of their bullshit claims. TDS is real.
Ignorance
Chris Matuszak you know he’s not going to loose right? Trump2020
Just when I thought there couldnt be so many stupid people in this world I read comments in this thread and its confirmed.
Its so sad that stupidity still runs rampant.
Trump could feed the world and stop world hunger, he could bring world peace, and you morons would still spin it in a bad way and it wouldnt be enough.
Im so ashamed to even know people like you exist.
Carlos Martinho ok let him do all those things. He donated a couple hundred thousand dollars to look good to people like you. His marks. Do you not understand what he is ? What he’s always been ? Repeat your post to yourself in the mirror because that exactly the people you are talking about.
Chris Matuszak what have your past President done??
I dont do drugs so he doesnt look good to me.
You are truly as dumb as you sound.
You drink to much damn CNN kool aid.
People like you just prooved my point.
You are brain washed and unable to come up with a single thought on your own, typical toddler.
The ignorance is real bruh
Kate Patricia Carol Porro all they choose to see is the bad.
Give the man a break already.
Feed the world, stop world hunger and bring world peace. THEN WHY DOESN’T HE. Instead he tweets pics of his head photoshopped to Sly Stallone’s body for all the world to laugh at.
Adele Marie nobody said he wasnt unorthodox, but he gets the joh done.
All because he is President he cant be human??
So what??
Who cares??
Tell your Dems to stop blocking everything and we can get something done.
Another one who only sees the negative and not the positive.
Adele Marie wasn’t that a joke !! I can’t believe how much he spends on internet trying to make himself better . He wishes he looked like that . He has done some good but he also been caught in lies and when truth comes out he fires them how ironic.
He can’t even get a break, donating his salary. If he gets a tax break, so what? I would think that everyone who donates, gets a break too.
Trump Has Spent $115 Million On Golf Trips ― Or 287 Years Of Presidential Salary
Chris Matuszak that’s it? 115 mill is nothing
Yea he spent 100 million plus on golf? You idiots will believe anything. Guy donated his salary , and you have done exactly what for your country? But, it’s all good, you only have 5 more years to put up with him
Chris Matuszak other president’s spent money on vacations and they kept their presidential earnings.
115 million dollars spent on golf… thanks???.. POS
Happy Thanksgiving
Too little too late buddy…trying to make up for all your wrongs…haha
Nicole Marie What wrongs? I’ll wait?
Were* waiting actually
Nicole Marie
Nicole Marie nice try.
Nicole Marie He’s done more by donating his salary than any previous president so take your nasty comments and stick it where the sun doesn’t shine
Trump 2020
I read all comments….Idiocy at it’s finest…ty all
We LOVE to see the Crybaby Haters !! #4moreyears
Craig Ford racist! Orange man bad
yeah well hes going to be bad for 5 more years
Hes doing alot of good for this country… who cares if the ignorant dont agree. Hes still in there doing it????
Trump 2020!!! So much TDS on this page its hilarious.
Thought he was not collecting a salary because he did not need the money?
Cheryl Roman he’s not collecting a salary. He has not taken one dime since in office. He has them donate the money, AS THIS ARTICLE STATES smh lol. ????♀️
Tara Arater donated where ?
Tara Arater if you are donating you are taking a salary just relocating the funds
Cheryl Roman By law, he HAS to take his salary. Since he has been in office, he has donated every penny.
Cheryl Roman he’s donated every quarters salary since he took office
Cheryl Roman Research it or are you not smart enough to be able to do that
Tara Arater to be able to donate you must take a salary, I thought?
Cheryl Roman he has donated it to a government dept every quarter like the VA, park service, etc. So he is putting it right back where it came from. So net zero.
It is not about net 0, he had to accept it in the first place like all the rest of the presidents. Now as far as donating it …. maybe he did but we have no proof.
By law he has to be paid for his job. He donates his pay to something else every quarter. As he said he would from the start. I’m not getting why anyone would have an issue with this, whether you voted for him or not?? Its a good thing.
Sarah Cioffi it is a good thing, is there any proof or only his word?
Before anyone bashed the president. How much have you donated this year.
I’ll wait.

Oh you didn’t donate anything, so stfu
David Quinones I haven’t cost the US taxpayers money golfing.
But since you asked, $100, on a limited income, retired.
Kathy Augeri Frisch wow $100, that’s what less than 5% of your income. Technically the president donated 100% of his presidential income. Stop complaining about it.
Your right he’s cost alot of money golfing, but has he just given money away and bowed down to terrorist leaders.
Kathy Augeri Frisch 114 million obama spent traveling in 8 years. Trump 18 million in 3 years. You act like he’s the first president to travel outside of DC. He’s created trillions in wealth in this country….it’s worth it.
The man! Thank you sir????
vs. the cost of trips to and from his hotel resorts throughout the year, his golf cart rentals, plus the expenses of his guests on America’s dime. Meanwhile his sicko son is incenting violence and discord around American Thanksgiving tables by offering a free copy of his book to anyone who can post the biggest family fight on his Twitter page. Family values the Trump way. Be best!
Adele Marie Why don’t you look up and see how many times Obama and his family and entourage went to Hawaii and wifey and kids went all over the world with about 20 aids along with them that’s where the money is being abused not by Trump
Sandy Mac Sandy I am well aware if what Obama did to help wreck this country with his abuse of executive orders, saving banks instead of the American people and tearing away at the Constitution. So please stop trying to exonerate Trump by playing the but game. No president has given a hoot about us since JFK and even then. But Trump is cruel. Lets just think about the thousands of kids who are NOT spending this Thanksgiving with their mothers because Trump and Miller decided to rip them from their mothers arms down at the border. How do you sleep at night supporting that. Have a lovely Thanksgiving.
Adele Marie wow you’ve described the Democrats to a tee
Garrett Stusick Sr. And the Republicans. You don’t get to pretend your party is innocent saints. They are ALL destroying your rights, fool!
Adele Marie he goes to his OWN golf resorts and doesn’t have the government pay for any fees to his own organizations!!
Jason Prescott Yes Jason- you just keep watching FOX News. Don’t bother doing your own research or your own thinking. That Hannity feed is doing wonders on your brain cells. Welcome to 1984.
I’ll pick anyone but a nazi Democrat, #Trump2020
And wacko liberals still haven’t done anything positive to help the hard working Americans citizens
Wasting time and tax payers money to try to remove Trump and regain their power hungry, brain washing & liberal propaganda agenda
David Stackewicz
Over 400 bills that the House has passed, sit on Mitch McConnell’s desk, Bills he refuses to bring up for a vote. It’s not the Democratic party that’s the do nothing party.
Visit the Congress dot gov website for the facts.
Kathy Augeri Frisch While you are there look at the bills old lady Nacey has on hold. Wack liberals hate America they are only money hungry power hungry brain washers with a big following of sheep
Depending on the date of the source, and the latest tally of costs, 45 has spent 287 times his annual salary on golf trips, so far. So do not preach about how he donates his salary. He’s costing us, the tax payers, money with all his golfing, something he said he’d never have time to do. Please don’t be ignorant of the facts.
https://meaww.com/trump-golf-taxpayer-115-million-mar-a-lago-nearly-287-years-of-presidential-salary-report
Kathy Augeri Frisch oh stop. Obama is the most vacationed president ever. Look at the facts of what Trump has done for this country…. God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving
Kevin David exactly. And we’re still paying them secret service for life as they travel the globe.
Kevin David might want to rethink your facts there bud.
Kathy Augeri Frisch could have been Golding and salary!! He doesn’t get paid so who are we to begrudge him golfing!
Ask your guy Murphy to do the same. He’ll laugh at you and give himself a raise in pay
Whoop de fucking doo
Say what you will about Trump. He may be flawed, but this makes him better than our filthy rich Goldman Sachs Governor who still takes a full salary because apparently he doesn’t have enough money.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone
Love our President #Trump2020
Pittance
Diane Cassitta so why do you criticize ? Can you name me another president or politician to donate his salary or parts of it ?
ONLY ANTI-SEMITIC, JEW HATING, NAZIS ARE JEALOUS OF THIS !
Ben Koolidge what do you think anti-semitic means? And what exactly would they be jealous of???
Elizabeth Tripp THE WHOLE IMPEACHMENT IS BASED ON BECAUSE TRUMP HAS A JEWISH DAUGHTER ! LEAD BY THE SELF-HATING JEW ADAM SCHIFF ! HE HAS TO WORK ON GETTING RID OF COKE NEXT, BECAUSE SO MANY YIDS HAVE COKE PROBLEMS, AND THAT WILL REALLY GET THE DEMOCRATS EXTRA PISSED !
Ben Koolidge ?
Here’s an idea donate a weekend at you shitty golf resort, cost us much more then any of his salary #fuckingmoron!!!
John Ryan jealous
John Ryan so did mr Obama or Hillary or Bill or Bush or any other President or politician you can think of donate any part of their salary?
Not sure why you’re bragging for him, Bryan. Any funding for the Opioid Epidemic is in fact fueling the epidemic because NO ONE knows how to fight it properly and it is an industry that is filled with squirrels! The money is wasted and/or just makes it into other pockets ????
Brian Duff Obama gave 1.1 million of the 3.2 million he received over his 8 years in office to charitable causes. He also donated the 1.4 million he received from as the winner from the 2009 Nobel Peace prize to 10 different organizations.
Previous Presidents that donated their entire salaries were John F. Kennedy and Herbert Hoover who were independently wealthy.
Trump entered office ckaiming to be a multi billionaire and still retains his financial stake in the trump organization.
John Ryan
Yet taxpayers spent 179 million on his golf trips
🙁
Wow 100,000? That’s nothing to this guy.
Elizabeth Tripp and a whole lot more than Hillary , Bill , Bush or Obama donated. So why criticize. Maybe just jealous that he actual does help people.
Elizabeth Tripp More than any other president’s donation. Be thankful for God’s sake.
Yea idk how much any president has actual ‘helped’ real people. Except Jimmy Carter, because he helps build houses for people. Instead of throwing money at stuff. 100,000$ to trump is like 5$ to everyone else. Its nothing. Especially compared to how much he is costing us in tax cuts to the rich and his vacations. Shit, ive taken 1 vacation in the past 5 years. Why am I paying him to have one every month?
He and his family have made a fortune off the presidency. And off the backs of every hardworking person in this country. This is the BS his supporters fall for. “Oh, he doesn’t take a salary look how generous he is” It kills me. He is a conman has and always will be but at least some of us arent dumb enough to buy his crap. Give me a break! Oh and lets talk about his “Foundation” that just got slapped with a 2 million dollar fine for misusing money intended for veterans. Why do u think he doesn’t want his taxes seen. It’s so obvious its painful, to see people support this conman.
Starting to get closer to voting time, let’s get that p.r. in lmao
Why is this site putting all this trump stuff up? This is not Ocean county news.
Billy Kenney in case you haven’t noticed they are right wingers
Not sure why anyone is bragging about this. Any funding for the Opioid Epidemic is in fact fueling the epidemic because NO ONE knows how to fight it properly and it is an industry that is filled with squirrels! The money is wasted and/or just makes it into other pockets that it should have never reached like a body broker ????
ShellyAnn Rose
sure… so this is a trump site?
That’s wonderful, how about reimbursing the $100 million plus dollars he spent golfing at his resorts? Deficit could use some help, that used to a Republican concern. Oh nevermind that hasn’t been balanced since Clinton.
Obama gave 1.1 million of the 3.2 million he received over his 8 years in office to charitable causes. He also donated the 1.4 million he received from as the winner from the 2009 Nobel Peace prize to 10 different organizations.
Previous Presidents that donated their entire salaries were John F. Kennedy and Herbert Hoover who were independently wealthy.
Trump entered office claiming to be a multi billionaire and still retains his financial stake in trump businesses.
Trump has refused to do as his predecessors have done: sever ties to the companies or financial interests that may pose, or present the appearance of, a conflict of interest. By keeping his assets in a family-managed trust, which he can revoke at any time, Trump and his family are in the unique position to profit directly from his public service. Special interests in Washington have caught on. Those seeking to curry favor with Trump are not only donating to his reelection campaign but holding fundraisers and galas at his resorts, private clubs and hotels – the proceeds of which benefit him and his family.
Lisa Pericciuoli-Reilly Lol he just bought a 15 million dollar house…on your dime
Just awesome!
