Trump: "So as president, I make $2 million over four years, $2.5 million. I waived it… I'm the only president that ever waived it… There's never been a president that waived his salary. I'm the only schmuck. I get no credit for it."
Trump has gained a $5,500,000,000 networth in 18 months, compared to $440,000,000 combining every single president since the declaration of independence.
shit, the moron doesn't even know what the president LEGALLY makes in a year. He makes $400k/year. By stating he's earned $2.5 million he establishes a good case against himself. Of course, it will have to wait until he's out of office. What's worse is that this seems to be an admission he steals from the tax payers. I didn't think the $50k in expenses he's allowed
Sidenote: he has made upwards of $1.6 Billion dollars since his first presidency. This is separate from whatever money his family members have made since 2016 using the presidency.
Since returning to office, his golf trips alone have cost everyday working Americans $148,400,000. & that's just the tip of the iceberg. $10 billion of taxpayer money was stuck in his personal account in the Caymen's. He's demanding taxpayers cover the cost of the ballroom he's putting in the wing of the White House he destroyed without permission. He paid $750 in tax over two years. Fuck. Why is this man in power? It's insane.
Neither John F Kennedy or Herbert Hoover took a salary while president (both donated their salaries to charity); George Washington wanted to refuse his salary but was paid at the insistence from Congress so a precedent would not be set that only rich people could afford to be president.
Clinton, Obama, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, LBJ, Eisenhower, Truman, et al, weren't rich men before their presidencies.... hell, Truman was living above his in-laws garage after he left office (and was the reason there is a presidential pension).
FDR, JFK, both Bushes and trump were born into generational wealth....
No one asked him to do that, and frankly the president is paid a salary so they don't have reason to extract benefits and compensation. It is unreasonable to expect anyone to work for no pay and anyone volunteering to do so is planning to do a shit job.
The U.S. President receives a annual salary of $400,000, paid monthly, along with a taxable $50,000 expense allowance, a $100,000 non-taxable travel account, and $19,000 for entertainment.
2.5 million just about covers the expense of moving his entourage and security detail via Air Force One to go golfing each weekend. And he only golfs at his own resorts, so the lodging expense for the whole party… our tax dollars… is paid directly to him.
Several groups have tried to audit this and found little evidence beyond him handing checks to undersecretaries of departments at photo ops. Which he calls "waiving his salary" however they weren't real checks, and they have been unable to verify that any transfer was actually made to the departments. They could only track down 3 actual donations to the national park services, the department of health and human services, and the small business administration.
He meant "waving his salary" as in he waved the check in front of his undersecretary. Liars who lie all the time like to do little tricks like this to help make their bullshit more convincing to themselves and reduce tells, as if the rules regarding the presidency, the very head of our nation's government, is some Fey contract that can be deftly maneuvered through with homonyms and he is just the first genius to think of it, instead of simply indecent enough to try.
No, and he refuses to release his tax returns, and in just this administration alone i believe he is estimated to have made $4b between meme coin, merch, etc
Jus so people are aware he’s made over 4bill so are in he’s first year on this second term alone. So for him to waive 2mill is literally like your average Joe throwing away pennies, it’s jus to make him look good on paper

"I waived 2.5 million but then I forced my DOJ to settle a lawsuit I was involved in for 10 billion." Fucking PoS.

even if he did get $10 billion from the DOJ he still wouldn't give up on $2.5 million.
