Trump donates quarterly salary to Small Business Administration

President Trump donated his salary from the second quarter of 2018 to the Small Business Administration, the White House said Wednesday.

Administrator Linda McMahon accepted the $100,000 contribution during a White House press briefing. She said the money will go toward funding a program that provides assistance to veterans who are interested in starting their own companies.

“It will be put to very good use,” McMahon said of the president’s donation.

Trump has donated each of his quarterly salaries to different areas of the government since taking office. The president donated his salary from the first quarter of 2018 to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Last year, Trump gave his salary to the Transportation Department, the Health and Human Services Department for the opioid epidemic, the National Park Service and the Education Department.
