Hannity: Donald Trump will donate his paycheck as President of the United States towards the restoration of the Antietam National Battlefield, a national park in Maryland that commemorates the site of the bloodiest single day of the American Civil War.
Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke made the announcement on Wednesday, saying the President’s $78,333 paycheck will go towards preserving the memorial and grounds at the battlefield.
An anonymous donor added another $22,000 to the gift, bringing the total to over $100,000.
“As both the Secretary of the Interior and a military veteran, I’m deeply honored and humbled to deliver the donation to Antietam National Battlefield on behalf of President Trump,” said Zinke. “The President’s donation will allow generations of Americans to learn about our history and heritage on this sacred site.” MORE
I guess the antifa is going to threaten action at Antietam now. How’d that Gettysburg stunt work out for you, punks?
Sharpsburg.
What an uninspired battle plan from General McClellan …. Morning — attack left flank; Mid-day — attack center; Late afternoon — attack right flank. He really had Lee chasing his tail, didn’t he?
And to top it off, after he actually broke the Confederate center with appalling casualties on both sides, he fails to exploit, making the whole thing an exercise in bloody futility. And then the attack on the right involves crossing a bridge, with the Union troops packed so tight a blind Confederate with one arm could have picked one off.
The Civil War could have ended that day. McClellan knew where the Rebels were and had twice the troops. The Army of Virginia would have been destroyed if Grant had been there
@Thirdtwin: You may be more right than you want to be. Civil War monuments PLUS the receipt of a large donation from Trump? I can hear Moldylocks and her ilk are packing a Greyhound bus to Antietam as we speak.
I was hoping he would donate the money to iotwreport, VDare, or AmRen
It could have been wiser spent getting his daughter a brain transplant.
If only he had donated as much of His Salary as did Obama and Hillary.
I commend President Trump for his actions. He leads by example. Had he not entered the race we would be a lost nation. Now to get the house and senate republicans to start supporting our president. And that includes his family as well. I will not say nor will I support disparaging remarks about the first family.
They did not have to do what they are doing, but they love this country as I and many of us here do. They are attacked relentlessly by the left, the media and our education institutions enough. No need to do it here.
Thank you for letting me clear the air.
It’s a very large and very beautify battlefield park. The parking lot use to be right along blood lane, but now its a nice paved walkway.
McClellan didn’t want to win, he just didn’t want to lose and spoil his chance at the Democratic nomination for president in 1864.
BASTARD! President Trump reminds me of the song HIGH HOPES.

Next time your found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around
Just what makes that little old ant
Think he’ll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can’t
Move a rubber tree plant
But he’s got high hopes, he’s got high hopes
He’s got high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time your gettin’ low
‘Stead of lettin’ go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant
When troubles call, and your back’s to the wall
There’s a lot to be learned, that wall could fall
Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he’d punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin’ that dam
‘Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes
He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time your feelin’ bad
‘Stead of feelin’ sad
Just remember that ram
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam
All problem’s just a toy balloon
They’ll be bursted soon
They’re just bound to go pop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop, kerlpop

Sorry. Got garbage in with the lyrics. But the song is President Trump. He keeps climbing higher and higher on the garbage the left throws in his way.
Somebody that actually wants to maintain our Republic’s history?
Good on him!!!!!
