I dont think this is true.

Never seen any evidence that the government changed the amount the president gets paid.

Trump get a check for his entire salary. Pay all the taxes on the entire salary. And then donates the $400k a year as if he wasnt charged any taxes.

Since Trump is in the highest tax bracket he would get about $65k each quarter. But writes a check for $100k.

You dont understand what Im saying.

What you cited means that the US Treasury must put $400k into his bank account.

Thats it.

Trump can do whatever he wants with it. And he writes his own check and donates all of it, plus an additional ~$35k every quarter to the Federal agency that he picks.

What are you talking about with the $1 stuff.

Lets pretend that Trump didnt have to pay taxes...he donates $400k every year, the full pre-tax amount of his entire presidential salary. The $1 stuff is nowhere to be found. Explain.

I'm not asking questions. I'm telling you politely.

I fucking made the site https://www.TheGivingTrump.com and spent my 10,000 hours going through every charitable act Trump has done. And I'm a fucking lawyer. You think I'm asking for you to hold my hand?
