trump is ALSO gaining A LOT MORE than his salary that he is 'donating' [and,claiming as a tax deduction!] on things like all of the MILLIONS of tax dollars that trump is making us spend to house him,and,and all of his hundreds of security personnel at his hotels,and resorts,like mara lago that he INSISTS on staying at.

you do know that one can only claim 60% of the salary right?
Trump isnt excluded, he will pay taxes on the 40% unless there are other loopholes he is using.
if trump is so 'altruistic' why doesn't he donate all of THOSE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS back,as well,instead of fleecing the government[and US] out of?
if trump is so 'altruistic',why do all of the bills and tax breaks ta he tries to pass always benefit HIM,HIS BUSINESSES,HIS FAMILY,and BILLIONAIRE CRONIES,while they leave US holding the bag,and paying for them? shovelhead dave
It has nothing to do with him being
altruistic , he is just showing the American public he isn't in it for the money, yes his time in the oval office will benefit him and his businesses, you can count on that.
I would pay $400,000 a year to be able to gain MILLIONS of dollars,too!!
[ESPECIALLY if I was going to be able to claim it on my taxes as a charitable contribution,and get it all back!!]
wouldn't you? shovelhead dave
like I said earlier he can only claim 60% of his salary, and you don't pay money to gain, you invest money for possible gain.
