Trump Donating His Salary: Why Isn't the Media Talking About This?

FDR did the same thing while he was President; obviously, donation of one's Presidential salary isn't exactly new.

As far as Trump donating anything, I will believe it when I actually see it.

I doubt Trump will accept a pension, he'll give it to some charity.... I doubt he'll allow security, yet will still receive it....

And "another vacation" the media touted was when renovations were being done to the White House and Trump had to relocate for that period but the media spun it as a Trump vacation.

It's gonna take a long time for Trump to use up in vacations what he's made for the nation.

Just the stock market alone has increased more than 7 trillion dollars. And all those gains in retirement acc's. Then there's all those billions being invested back into the country, and billions being brought back from over seas and invested in the country.

And Trump doesn't really take vacations. Now when obama went on all his vacations, and spent many millions of our dollars, he didn't do much work. You could tell because he couldn't generate a 3 percent GDP growth in 8 yrs.

And here Trump has already had 3 quarters of three percent, and projected to 4 this next time, and more 4's throughout the next yrs

Trump works when he goes to his places, and he plays a little golf. He sure has gotten a bunch of things accomplished. He'll be reelected if he continues, and he will continue.

Speaking of Trump vacations... I'll tell you about one you call a vacation, that wasn't really a vacation. The weekend he went to his club in New Jersey?

Well, that was because Admiral Mike Rogers paid a secret visit to Pres. Elect Trump, without telling his bosses.
He told Trump he was being spied on, and listened to. Trump packed up and moved to a safe place.
And then came Trump's tweet about 'wiretapping'. And you all called him crazy. Yeah, crazy like a fox.

And Oh by the way, did you know that Admiral Mike Rogers just retired? President Trump had a special gathering for him.

The real interesting part about his retiring at this time, is that he will be free to testify fully at all those obama crime's trials that are coming.

Is Obama donating his pension?

Before Pensions

Ex-presidents did not earn pensions until 1958 when Congress put in place the Former Presidents Act, providing the benefits today's leaders now receive. Before this Act was passed, ex-presidents were given nothing after leaving office, and the results were evident. For example, Thomas Jefferson sold his personal library to create the basis for the Library of Congress and James Monroe was destitute when he died.

------

Obama had nothing to do with passing this law. We'll see how trump spends his, probably on more golf courses and women.

Why should goddess quit telling the truth, while you continue to make up excuses for trump ?

I'm not saying goddess is lying. Goddess has a differing opinion. I'm not lying. I'm stating my opinion. I, actually, respect what she is saying. I'm not embracing it.. It is her opinion and her preogative to voice it. I'm sure she respects mine.

Let's leave "I know you are but what am I?" to Pee Wee Herman. You may pull it off better than Pee Wee but he gets paid to say it.
