If you received a check, paid to the order of goddess, signed by Agent Orange in the amount of his quarterly salary, as a taxpayer, would you refuse it?
Would you be outraged? Would you throw up 47 excuses? Would you forward it to the taxpayers in the form of a donation?
There's nothing he could do with that salary that would appease you.

With all that said cl*t...it's the fact that Agent Orange, as with most you folks, like to tout, what you do with your monies...in this case, it's just a matter of scoring with the voter's!
We're all so much more than "adorable"

The president works for the taxpayers who pay his salary. He has three options. He can refuse the salary ( benefits the taxpayers), donate the salary ( benefits the taxpayers) or keep the salary (benefits Donald Trump).
When Obama donated Over $1 million as president, where do you suppose that money came from?
Ya'll are adorable

Good deal g&g, i never mentioned it yet knew the generosity.. Just didn't want to see any more negative attitudes for good will & intentions. That being said, many on thread would be in Hog Heaven for just $50 for their own personal... what ever....

His salary is paid by the taxpayers...in essence, he's donating nothing...the taxpayers are!!!
He's costing us, the taxpayers more than he'll ever be worth in donations, even though its' taxpayers money he's donating!!!

Hepsibah (view profile) Posted 7:53 pm, 01/21/2018 The bottom line is that Trump is coming out Good! Getting richer by the day. Champagne anyone?
Maybe if you took a lesson from Trump you could be drinking Champagne', as well, while donating to various entities.

So, what you're saying is Obama took expensive vacations, didn't donate his salary (although he does make significant donations to charities), but somehow it's hypocritical for Trump to donate his salary while at the same time you all would be screaming Trump is a pig if he didn't donate his salary?
Do educate us on hypocrisy

Let's be sure and not bring Cankles and Willie and their Clinton Crime Family Foundation into this thread. From stealing silverware out of the White House to multi millionaires the Clintons have profited some way.

Heps:: I never mentioned anything about $$$ coming out of Trumps pocket. Yet if he used his own jet i'm sure he could & would pay his way. Security is & has been the norm forever. Read my post again.... Where you got the idea, i have not a clue....

Since trump hides his tax returns , he probably didn't even make these "donations".

"So, you're saying these beneficiants would have been better off without Trump's donations? Are you begrudging these donations because they came from Trump?"
Absolutely not...what I am saying is that it is...wait for it...wait...wait...
"H Y P O C R I T I C A L"
the concept that he is donating his salary for the benefit of anything or anyone...compared to what he is spending and mind you he is spending taxpayers monies...is hypocritical!!!
He's spending way more than what his is giving!

If that is how tax laws work and entities benefit then it seems so.

Guess all his "donations" give him a big tax break .

Hepsibah (view profile) Posted 7:38 pm, 01/21/2018 Marie, I just hope you realize that NONE of that is coming out of Trump's pocket.
The $1 million he donated to Hurricane Harvey relief came directly from his pocket. You can easily google it to educate yourself.

"Dec 25, 2017 in airfare alone...Agent Oranges travel is over 6.6million...his salary certainly isn't close to that!!!"
So, you're saying that $6.6 million would have been given to The National Park Service? The Department of Education? The Department of Health and Human Services to combat opioid addiction? Hurricane Harvey relief? Restoration efforts for Antietam? Or does funding his vacations come directly from these budgets?
So, you're saying these beneficiants would have been better off without Trump's donations? Are you begrudging these donations because they came from Trump?
