Spicer: Trump Donating His First Quarter Salary to the National Park Service

‘The president personally is proud to contribute the first quarter of his salary to the important mission of the park service’

EXCERPT:

SPICER: "Before I get started, I want to just give you a quick update on something. I know in the past, there’s been several questions about the President donating his salary to charity. I have got an update for you on that. To that end, the President has spoken with counsel and made the decision to donate his first quarter salary in total to a government entity. He has chosen this quarter to donate it to the National Park Service. The Park Service cares for our parks since 1916 and the President is personally proud to contribute the first quarter of his salary to the important mission of the Park Service, which is preserving our country’s national security. So it is my pleasure on behalf of the President of the United States to present a check for $78,333 to the secretary of the interior Ryan Zinke and superintendent of the Harpers Ferry park site, Superintendent Brandyburg."
