President Trump said Monday that he was donating $100,000 from his salary to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Trump tweeted a photo of the check he wrote to DHS and said the media doesn’t “doesn’t like writing about” him donating his salary. He also claimed there would be “hell to pay from the FAKE NEWS MEDIA” if he didn’t do so.

“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,” he tweeted.
