<p>President Donald Trump donated his entire $100,000 quarterly salary to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to combat the coronavirus.</p>
<p>Eric Trump tweeted a copy of the check from Trump addressed to HHS, writing, &#8220;Since this will never get reported by the media, I wanted to share a copy of this check. @realDonaldTrump is once again donating his salary back to the United States Government — This quarter, it will be donated to @HHSGov to confront, contain, and combat #Coronavirus.&#8221;</p>

<p>White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham tweeted: &#8220;President @realDonaldTrump made a commitment to donate his salary while in office. Honoring that promise and to further protect the American people, he is donating his 2019 Q4 salary to @HHSGov to support the efforts being undertaken to confront, contain, and combat #Coronavirus.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump promised while campaigning for office that he would donate his salary every year that he was president and has followed through on his promise.</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s donation of $100,000 to fight the coronavirus will make it even harder for his critics to keep pushing the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/facebook-fact-checker-debunks-new-smear-against-trump-from-media-democrats-factually-inaccurate">debunked</a> claim that he called the coronavirus a &#8220;hoax.&#8221;</p>
<p>The coronavirus has infected more than 90,000 people and killed well over 3,100 people worldwide, with most of the cases coming from China, where the virus originated.</p>
<p>Last November, Trump donated his third-quarter salary to help deal with America&#8217;s opioid epidemic.</p>
<p><a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/trump-donates-3rd-quarter-salary-fight-opioid-crisis-67313658">ABC News</a> reported, &#8220;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 &#8230; Trump is required to be paid, but he has pledged to donate his salary while in office to worthy causes.&#8221;</p>
<p>Last August, Trump <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/16/politics/trump-donates-salary-surgeon-general/index.html">donated his second-quarter</a> salary to the Office of the Surgeon General. In March 2019,Trump posted a photo on Twitter of a check for $100,000 to the Department of Homeland Security. He tweeted, &#8220;While the press doesn&#8217;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&#8217;t do it there would be hell to pay from the FAKE NEWS MEDIA!&#8221;</p>
