Stories like this is never in the news;

it should be  !!!!   

When the Trump administration released its annual report to Congress on White House Office Personnel, It includes the name, status, salary and position title of all 377 White House employees an that Trump did not take a dime of his salary. 

The total annual White House salaries under Trump are $35.8 million vs. $60.9 million under Obama, a savings of $25.1 million.  There are 140 fewer employees on White House staff under Trump than under Obama at this point in their respective presidencies.

Thirty-nine fewer staffers are dedicated to The First Lady. Currently, there are only five staffers dedicated to Melania Trump vs. forty-four staffers who served Michelle Obama (FY2009) 

However, it's what the report said Trump did with this salary that has everyone talking. 

During his 2016 presidential campaign, Republican candidate Donald Trump,  vowed  that if elected he would forgo the $400,000 annual presidential salary. So has has handed over checks every three months for various projects overseen by different government departments. 

In the first quarter of 2017, President Trump  donated  $78,333 (his $100,000 salary for that quarter, after taxes) to the Department of the Interior, for the National Park Service’s maintenance of an historic Civil War site. His contribution was put towards two projects at Antietam National  Battlefield  in Maryland. 

In July 2017, the White House announced in a  press release  that President Trump had donated his second-quarter salary to a science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) camp for children, overseen by the Education Department. He signed over his third-quarter salary to the Department of Health and Human Services for a public awareness campaign about opioid  addiction , and the last of his 2017 salary went towards an infrastructure grant  program  overseen by the U.S. Department of Transportation. 

Trump continued his tradition in 2018, donating his first-quarter salary to the Department of  Veterans Affairs , a sum which then-Acting VA Secretary Robert Wilkie said had been earmarked for “caregiver support in the form of mental health and peer support programs, financial aid, education training, and research.” The president donated another quarter’s  salary  to the U.S. Small Business Administration for the purpose of establishing an “Emerging Leaders” program focused “on helping veterans start small businesses after military life.” 

Where's the media on this?

They don't cover anything decent the President does.
