CROSSVILLE, Tenn. – An East Tennessee boy received the surprise of a lifetime when he received a letter from President Donald Trump.

9-year-old Eli’sha Davies from Crossville wrote to the President in January after the inauguration. Eli’sha heard his parents talking about Trump’s campaign promise to only accept a salary of $1, and he wanted to make sure the President had enough to pay the bills at the White House.

“I thought how is he going to eat or drink,” Eli’sha said. “Or you know pay, if he needs to pay his water bill or anything.”

Eli’sha included three $1 bills in his letter to the President. It was a hefty sum of money he had worked to save. FULL STORY AND VIDEO HERE-WBIR
