    Wow, I made a mistake...BFD and he earns more than you think, heal thine own self.

    What is the salary of the President?
    Since 2001, the president has earned a $400,000 annual salary, along with a $50,000 annual expense account, a $100,000 nontaxable travel account, and $19,000 for entertainment.

    When someone complains about how someone treated Trump, why do you always have to try to twist it into Trump being the one who complained? You work for CNN or something?

    In this case, it's his surrogates who are peddling this meme.

    Funny, that they didn't mention that Trump didn't acknowledge Jimmy Carter either. The Bushes. fortunately, were across the aisle.

    Not really. A few pundits made noise about it (I'm sure the Fox/AM crowd beat the drum loudly). But that was all there ever was to it.

    Funny, how most of the people still pretending to be outraged over Bernie Sanders are right wingers, who would never consider voting for him.

    Trump was trying to dodge ethics laws by not paying himself or his family, was not about generosity imo

    I do wonder if not paying his family a min wage is legal though

    that said, the Trump tax cuts and renting of rooms to the secret service have grossed Trump more tax payer dollars then any of us will see in our lifetimes

    Trump even makes the tax payers rent his golf carts

    "Trump's golf cart rentals cost taxpayers more than $300K"

    no, by not paying himself or his family, he got shot down on that so just ended up donating it to try to act like he was a good person, though not sure what he donates too, could be his own charity for all we know as do not see his taxes

    giving it away he is free to do, he was not free to take no salary though, though his family is another story - he is paid so he is an employee of the people, we are his boss

    lets see the taxes like Trump promised, until then... could just be another Trump lie anyways

    Got ya...he was trying to cheat by taking no salary...again....seems like a silly law that someone can't volunteer for Govt work....

    He hasn't donated it to charity...but to the Govt....for example...
    https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/03/tru...business-administration-white-house-says.html

    https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/17/politics/trump-donation-veterans-affairs/index.html

    You're link is rather comical and desperate...one it's about Eric Trump...not Donald...it talks about how he raised $11 Billion for St Judes but because they hosted this charity at a Trump property...and paid the staff, etc..that somehow it's a bad thing....geez...maybe Forbes can pay St Jude that $11 Billion and the Trump's won't do a thing in the future

    trying to get by ethics laws by saying your working for free should be... unethical.... anyways Trump could not do it for himself, but is doing it with his daughter I heard

    "The best part about all this, according to Eric Trump, is the charity's efficiency: Because he can get his family's golf course for free and have most of the other costs donated, virtually all the money contributed will go toward helping kids with cancer. "We get to use our assets 100% free of charge," Trump tells Forbes."

    then we have this

    "Trump bought a 6-foot-tall portrait of himself with charity money."

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...e6-ac8e-cf8e0dd91dc7_story.html?noredirect=on

    but that was not True if he charged the charity and per his fillings it is not true

    let's see Trump's taxes, how much did he really donate to charity?

    Trying not to get paid should be unethical? Volunteering to serve should be??? Wow

    trying to do it for unethical reasons is unethical... yes

    Trump tried to find a loophole in the paid public employee wordings... your right, it just should of said Government employees I guess, we should of predicted a filthy rich President someday trying to abuse the system

    show us the tax returns mr President

    Like John Kennedy? FDR?

    Yeah,donating your salary is unethical...geez. The President is the President no matter if he donates money or not, he is still subject to the laws. You’re conspiracy theory is rather comical and deranged

    nope, he can donate his salary all he wants as I said, what he can not do is work for free, he is an employee of the American people and in 2020 we will say "Trump, Your fired!"

    Trump doesn't donate much, so this small donation in proportion to his worth is nice to see (if it's even true, need to see his taxes to verify), but it should not be able to be used to dodge ethics rules

    release your taxes Trump, let's see how much you give to charity

    Actually he has a history of donating quite a lot. He campaigned on not taking a salary, was later told the law required he take it, and he said fine but he’d donate it all... he does. Not sure what your crazy conspiracy theory is

    Dirty Donald may say that, but without seeing his tax returns, no way to confirm

    my guess is trump likes to exaggerate his net worth and doesn't like to part with money for donations

    I don't think he cares about Cankles. He buried her in the history books.

    he is still upset she got more votes them he did, he can't just be happy he won

    his fragile ego just can't take losing the popular vote to a girl
