The White House on Thursday said President Trump is donating his quarterly paycheck to the Health and Human Services Department to help combat an opioids crisis that is killing tens of thousands of Americans each year.

Mr. Trump, a billionaire, is donating his full presidential salary to various causes and agencies. Previous checks went to the National Parks Services and the Education Department.

Acting HHS Secretary Eric D. Hargan said Mr. Trump’s latest donation of $100,000 is a “tribute to his compassion, his patriotism and a sense of duty to the American people.”

“But it’s his compassion, above all, that drives his interest in the issue to which HHS is going to devote his donation — America’s devastating opioid crisis,” Mr. Hargan said.

And he’ll be criticized endlessly by the media for doing so.

As tragic as that situation is, the family supports sanctuary cities. Go figure.

Sometimes even the cruelest thing won't change people's minds. Purty sad situation. Then again, they are entitled to think/believe what they want. 🤔

Trump donates money. Hillary collects money. Funny how the media doesn’t pick up on that.

Kate’s brother has said that Trump was using her death to further his agenda, and said he thinks Trump’s border and immigration policies are irrational. So I wouldn’t give him any money, he’d probably give it to Late Raza.

Actually they said they don’t support it fully. Only on a limited basis, but not for criminals.

#11: "Sometimes even the cruelest thing won't change people's minds."

Stokholm syndrome?

The murder of Seth Rich is a case in point. Seth Rich's familly refused to cooperate with investigators and gave Hillary and the DNC 100% of their support. Weird.

"....Trump donates money. Hillary collects money....."

Classic analogy. Fits perfectly.

I am going to steal it to make a meme. I'll post it on FR. Thanks.

Yes, they have been very politically correct in this whole situation. It shows the level of brainwashing in the Bay Area that even the family is neutered and reluctant to show outrage.
