President Trump now noting that he isn't being paid to be president and has given away his salary: "Nobody said thank you. Nobody said thank you very much."
He adds, "I ran and everybody knew I was rich person. I built a company and people knew that."

Charity my posterior. I don'[t even believe he isn't taking a salary. We haven't even seen his tax returns.

BTW, he's not rich any more, if he ever was. His golf courses are all on the rocks, his buildings are leveraged to the hilt, even if he tends to own only 5% or so.
He couldn't even pull off a pump&dump a few years ago. He thought it was a great idea that he invented, but everyone was wise to him from the beginning.

(9,313 posts)... Obama has given to charity in the past two decades to the amount DT has given to charity.
I have a funny feeling that Barak will come out on top, but what do I know?
DT looking for a thank you for giving $400,000 to various agencies/charities each year he's president says a lot more about the block of coal he calls a heart than anything else.
People who care and give from the heart aren't looking for thank you's. The thank you is in the good the money helps to accomplish in the world.

(7,820 posts)Although hes lied about donations before. That said, his salary is a fraction of how he intends on profiting financially from being in office.
CatMor
(6,212 posts)that would be 100,000. He didnt say anything about the other 300,000.00. His businesses aren't doing well.
