President Donald Trump has tweeted a picture of a $100,000 check he recently wrote to the Department of Homeland Security, his latest donation to a federal agency.
Trump pledged as a candidate in 2016 to not accept the $400,000 annual presidential salary he would be due if elected.
Trump says the press doesn�t like writing about his donations �nor do I need them to.�
He also claims if he didn�t make the donations, there would be �hell to pay from the FAKE NEWS MEDIA!�
By law, he must be paid, so Trump has donated the quarterly payments to various federal departments and agencies.
While the press doesn�t like writing about it, nor do I need them to, I donate my yearly Presidential salary of $400,000.00 to different agencies throughout the year, this to Homeland Security. If I didn�t do it there would be hell to pay from the FAKE NEWS MEDIA! pic.twitter.com/xqIGUOwh4x

Considering he was forced by true media reporting to pay his pledges to veterans groups during the election when they investigated and found he hadn’t paid.
Personally I like the image of the check to Cohen better.
As if President Hillary “Pay-to-Play” Clinton or President Bernie “Lenin” Sanders would have done that.
I gave a quarter to an ??? this morning. Can I post that too!
