Trump Will Take Zero Salary (Again)

I would rather our president take the salary than listen to his commercials for Trump gold sneakers and watches. I know it is a different world, but the president just should not be doing Billy Mays-level radio spots on XM.
 
"The returns show that in the 2020 tax year, Donald and Melania Trump reported $78 million in gross income from 16 foreign countries — including the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland and St. Martin, where Trump has properties. The gross income also included a reported $1.2 million from “other countries” — abbreviated as “OC” — that were not specified.

In 2017, Trump's first year in office, he also made $6.5 million from China, the returns show. The source of the China payments is not clear from the returns. The payments were a surprise since Trump is an outspoken critic of the $5.8 million Hunter Biden made in business deals with Chinese interests while his father, now-President Joe Biden, was out of office.

In all, the Trumps reported millions in foreign income and business expenses from businesses in at least 22 countries over the six-year period, the returns show, including at various points money from South Korea, Azerbaijan, Turkey, the Philippines and Brazil.

The couple paid little in federal taxes during Trump's presidency and appeared to owe none in 2020 after reporting large deductions and expenses that resulted in a net loss of $15 million. Trump then claimed a $5 million refund, according to the return.

Trump also reported zero charitable donations that year, the returns show. That was an outlier for Trump during his time in office — he reported $1.8 million in charitable giving in 2017, and just over $500,000 in charitable donations in 2018 and 2019, the returns show.

Trump pledged to donate his $400,000 presidential salary while in office, money he gave to various government agencies. It’s unclear from the returns if he attempted to claim any of those donations as charitable deductions. There’s no record of him donating his salary after the second quarter of 2020, when the White House mistakenly displayed the check Trump wrote, complete with his bank information."
 
The guy is worth billions. If he really wanted to help with our deficit spending he wouldn’t charge the government for the costs associated with his golfing at his own clubs.

The salary of a president is peanuts compared to the money he got by milking the federal teat.

Yep.

He'll skim 1000x more from your tax dollars, and won't pay a penny of tax on it (like he would if he took the salary).
 


One of these things is not like the other.. Obama really is the world's biggest grifter and it's not even close.
So the Trump Hotel is Wash D. C. didnt make any money, haha. you are deluded to think the dumpster didnt make any money as the Prez. And you really think Trump is a billionaire when he is begging for money all the time.

Plus he is a grifter who never pays his debts, just ask all his lawyers.

Obama made a bunch of money off his book sales and giving speeches which all these ex Prezs do.
