President Donald Trump has pledged to donate his third quarter presidential salary to fighting the opioid crisis in the US.  

That is about $100,000 of his $400,000 salary, which is pennies compared to the estimated $500 billion a year the epidemic costs the government in medical care and law enforcement.

The president’s pledge comes amid the deadliest drug epidemic in US history that killed 64,000 Americans last year.

Stat News calculated just how far the president’s donation can go.
