Donald Trump has decided to refuse his presidential salary – UNIAN
As a multimillionaire, Trump can afford such a grand gesture.
After assuming presidential powers, Donald Trump intends to refuse his salary. The politician made this statement in an interview with NBC News.
According to Trump, he intends to become the first American president (except perhaps George Washington) who will not receive a salary.
“I will not accept a single cent. This is my contribution to reducing government spending,” he emphasized, adding that he would also refuse all other material benefits due to the US president, including a pension.
It should be noted that during his first presidency, Trump, although formally receiving the president’s salary, directed all the money to charity and various programs.
