A lot of people are eagerly waiting to see President Donald Trump come back and run the US once again. The country is now a living hell, so as is the rest of the planet. We had pandemics, war, bad politics, and more after Trump was gone. The election in the US was rigged, and this has already been proven. 

Forbes notes the following: “The President of the United States makes $400,000 annually, before taxes. During his 2016 campaign, Donald Trump promised to donate his salary if elected President. It was a promise, even his critics acknowledge, that Trump was keeping.”

The presidential salary is a requirement of the U.S. Constitution in Article II, Section 1, Clause 7, and the specific amount is set by Congress. Presidents are not legally allowed to decline their salary, but can donate it to organizations of their choosing.

Forbes continued and said this: “Trump is the first president since John F. Kennedy to donate his salary. Both John F. Kennedy and Herbert Hoover donated their presidential salaries to charitable causes. According to congressional records, George Washington initially declined his $25,000 salary, but Congress wouldn’t let him.”

President Trump donated at least $1.4 million of the $1.6 million he earned as president to various federal agencies. Still in question, however, are the donations for the third and fourth quarters of 2020.
