The third president doesn't take a salary

Mr. Trump is the third president to not receive a salary, following John F. Kennedy and Herbert Hoover. Because presidents are expected to be paid for their duties, critics expressed concern when Trump declared his decision to do without a salary. Trump deducts $1 from his compensation each year to get around this. He frequently contributes his entire income to other departments or groups.


Trump receives a $400,000 annual income as president. Trump's net worth is predicted by Forbes magazine to be $2.1 billion as of 2020. According to President Trump, he has lost millions of dollars since assuming the new role since he cannot operate the company as previously.


When running for president in 2016, Donald Trump pledged to give his income. Even his detractors agree that Trump kept his promise. The U.S. Constitution's Article II, Section 1, Clause 7 states that the president receives a salary, and Congress determines the exact amount. Presidents are not permitted by law to refuse their income, although they are allowed to donate it to charities of their choice. This is one of the interesting facts about Donald Trump.
