Donald Trump To Be The The First America President To Work For Free by benavatar(m): 6:54am On Nov 13, 2016
The Daily Mail reports that, speaking at an event in New Hampshire in September 2015 – Donald Trump Said:

“The first thing I’m going to do is tell you that if I’m elected president, I’m accepting no salary, okay? That’s not a big deal for me.”

He also reiterated the fact that he wouldn’t be taking a salary if elected during a Twitter Q&A when someone asked if he would forgo the salary if he won, to which he said:

“As far as the salary is concerned – I won’t take even one dollar. I am totally giving up my salary if I become president.” Pretty crystal clear.

I mean, it’s not like he needs it. Forbes has estimated that Trump’s net worth is around $3,7billlion. But, you know he IS entitled to it and I think it would be a cool move from the president-elect if he does indeed follow through and not claim a cent.

That's a big lie. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy donated his salary to charity. Trump is not the only president not to take salary. We had couple presidents like that.
