On Wednesday, President Donald Trump donated the entirety of his second-quarter paycheck to a very worthy cause. But, as usual, the Democrats were furious to hear what he had done.

President Donald Trump put his money where his mouth is this week by donating his entire second-quarter paycheck to the Small Business Administration to fund businesses owned by veterans. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced Trump’s donation during her press conference on Wednesday. SBA Administrator Linda McMahon accepted the check on behalf of the department.

“Well, I would like to thank the president for his generosity and for his support of the Small Business Administration,” said McMahon. “He clearly understands the value of small businesses. They’re approximately 30 million of them in this country and I’m very happy to be their advocate.”

“This money’s going to be used in our veterans program,” McMahon continued. “We’re going to establish a seven-month intensive training program called ‘Emerging Leaders.’ It’s an adaptation of that program for our veterans, helping them transition from military life into the private sector if they desire to start their own jobs and their own companies and be entrepreneurs. Once again, we thank the president very much for this and it will be put to very good use.”

The SBA’s website provides more information on the Emerging Leaders program:

Emerging Leaders Initiative provides free entrepreneurship education and training for executives of small, poised-for-growth companies that are potential job creators. This intensive executive entrepreneurship series includes nearly 100 hours of classroom time. It also provides opportunities for small business owners to work with experienced coaches and mentors, attend workshops, and develop connections with their peers, local leaders, and the financial community. Since its inception in 2008, the SBA’s Emerging Leaders Initiative has trained over 5,000 small business owners, creating over 6,500 jobs, generating over $300 million in new financing, and securing over $3.16 billion in government contracts. Given the success of SBA’s Emerging Leaders, the SBA has expanded the initiative to include 60 locations to help growing entrepreneurs in emerging markets.

Trump’s decision to donate his second-quarter salary to help veteran-owned businesses should come as no surprise. Military members and veterans are near and dear to the president’s heart. He has made that clear throughout his time in office, always taking the time to visit with active duty soldiers when he travels, but it is an issue that he has been passionate about since long before he decided to run for office.

Moreover, donating with a focus on veterans seems to be a trend for Trump, whose first quarter 2018 paycheck went to the Veterans Administration. Politico reported in May:

President Donald Trump will donate his salary for the first quarter of 2018 to the Department of Veterans Affairs, the White House announced Thursday. Acting VA Secretary Robert Wilkie said at a press briefing that the money would go toward caregiver support programs, including mental health, peer support, research, education, training and financial aid. “The president’s gift underscores his promise to do all that he can for veterans, which includes supporting those who care for our veterans — not just those of us at VA, but the husbands, the wives, the families and the community caregivers who are out there, day in and day out, making life easier for those who have borne the battle,” Wilkie said.

Coincidentally, this report comes on the heels of another claiming that Trump’s wealth has decreased significantly since taking office. This, of course, shouldn’t surprise anyone, either. The man has given up control of his companies and is currently working for the American people for free. He has sacrificed more than most in order to serve his country, all so that he can be trashed by the media and the Democrats day in and day out.

Speaking of the Democrats, they would rather Trump gave his money to a cause close to their hearts. Perhaps if he had donated his money to Planned Parenthood so that millions of more babies could be murdered, the left would be jumping for joy. However, since Trump has chosen to help veterans, liberals have been notably silent. This certainly goes to show where their true motivations lie.
