Trump, who will receive $400,000 a year as president, donated the $78,333 he received for the first quarter to the National Park Service, Reuters reports. Sean Spicer handed over the check at Monday's daily briefing, at which Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said he was "thrilled" at the move. (More President Trump stories.)
