According to the media, President
Trump can do no right, even when he's giving his paycheck away.
On Monday, Trump donated his
entire first $78,333.32 paycheck to the National Park Service:

While most politicians go into
office to get rich, Trump is the first who could actually come out poorer.
If he does come out richer, the media will say he gamed the system for personal profit. If he comes out poorer, they'll attack him as a bad businessman, as they did after that earlier news came out.
This is how The Hill covered his new donation:

Even better, and my personal
favorite, is this article from T. Becket Adams in the Washington Examiner, who
is apparently a conservative.
Don't cheer Trump's check to the National Park Service https://t.co/IIx1dVaJ9D by @BecketAdams pic.twitter.com/0uqts7sMfF— Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) 4 de abril de 2017
After noting Trump was legally
obligated to take a salary and could therefore not legally fulfill his pledge
to take a salary of only $1, Adams wrote:
President Trump doesn't
deserve praise for donating his first quarter salary to the National Park
Service.
...[he] pledged to take no
White House salary. He then revised that promise and vowed to donate the money
to charity. Spicer then announced this week that the president's first
taxpayer-funded paycheck would go to a taxpayer-funded agency.
If Trump is going to renege on
a promise to forgo a salary because he learned only recently that the job to
which he applied bars him from refusing a paycheck, he could at least give the
money directly back to the taxpayers. He could assist, say, one of the
privately held veterans groups he talked about during the election.
Funneling additional tax
dollars into a federal agency is about as far off as possible from the spirit
of pledging to take no White House salary at all, and it is amazing to see
certain members of Trump's base cheer it.
Incredibly, that's not even
satire. This is what people in the Trump hating media actually believe.
TRUMP IMITANDO DÓRIA.
