President Donald Trump is donating his first quarter’s salary to restoring historical structures at the Antietam National Battlefield — a Civil War site and stage of the bloodiest single day battle in U.S. history.

Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke announced Trump’s $78,333 donation Wednesday in front of crowd gathered at Antietam. Trump’s salary will go toward restoring the Newcomer House Civil War information center and 5,000 feet of Civil War style fencing.

“I can find no better investment in our country than our battlefields. As a former Navy Seal … It’s preserving our heritage of why we fight,” Zinke said. “We fight for our family, we fight for our friends, we fight for our country, and we fight for freedom. And no doubt, the area around us is a kind of reflection as all of our children, our children’s children will walk through these grounds and realize what a great country we restored.”

Thank you, Mr. President!

Fuck you, Leftists!
 
On that day, the enemies of America were forced to retreat, but the typical incompetence (or deliberate, as the case may have actually been) of George B. McClellan prevented a decisive American victory.

Union won. "It was a sufficiently significant victory to give Lincoln the confidence to announce his Emancipation Proclamation, which discouraged the British and French governments from pursuing any potential plans to recognize the Confederacy."

Good to remember.

Trump's priorities are questionable on this. He should give that tiny stipend to cancer research or climate science.
 
You kidding, that's chump change, being President probably made five times that off his DC Hotel's bar, and I'm sure it will go down as a deductible on his taxes, if he even pays taxes

Or a transexual bathroom at Target so you could shop again.
 
Keep in mind that during the next Civil War, the redneck traitors will be fighting against the US government and its military.

You're going to need a bigger gun.
 
Good for Trump..Everyone should walk the battlefields ( Gettysburg you can do it by car)
and gain the understanding that the Confederate Army and the Union Army were honorable men ..

a miserable but needed war..we had to self correct for slavery.

Antietam National Battlefield Park Named To List Of “America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places” Success Stories
The Battle of Antietam, often called the bloodiest day in American history, took place on September 17, 1862, and resulted in approximately 23,000 Union and Confederate soldiers missing, wounded or killed.
In addition to leading President Lincoln to issue an executive order ending slavery, it also was the battle that ended the Confederate invasion of Maryland.

Antietam was the second Civil War park established by the federal government.

In response to a flawed proposal to construct a shopping center and other buildings on battlefield land, the National Trust named the historic battlefield to its first 11 Most list in 1988, galvanizing support and action by local, state and federal agencies and non-profit organizations.
This resulted in a true preservation success story, with 3,263 acres of the site being fully protected.
The Civil War Trust has been leading the charge to protect the final remaining 450 acres of land.
Today, the expansive battlefield landscape, its viewsheds, and the approaches taken by both armies to reach the battlefield have been well preserved, welcoming tens of thousands of visitors annually and allowing for an up-close view of this important part of our history.
