At the same time, Trump also stated that he Will donate $400,000 in salary to various organizations. The salary of the President of the United States cannot be raised just because it wants to be raised. It must be approved by Congress and voted by the people. The salary of the President of the United States has been US$400,000 since Obama became president, and has not changed in the past ten years.

The President of the United States is not paid on a daily basis, nor on a monthly basis, but on a quarterly basis. Each quarter is US$100,000, with an annual salary of US$400,000. In addition, there is an additional US$50,000 in annual expenses. Budget, $100,000 tax-free travel funds, and $19,000 entertainment funds. Although the president's salary is not as good as that of some big businessmen, the president of the United States enjoys various other benefits. After becoming president, the first thing he does is move into the White House, an invincible building that can be defended by missiles. He can also have his own special car, Army One, and special plane, Air Force One. The President of the United States has the highest salary in the world and faces the highest risks in the world. Therefore, in addition to the staff responsible for the life of the President and his family, there are also 1,000 security personnel to protect the President's safety.

For Trump, the salary of the President of the United States is really nothing, because Trump has tens of billions of assets and is a big businessman, so he only gets a symbolic one dollar a year. salary, and the rest is donated. The real money you make as the president of the United States is not during your term, but after you step down. Not only can you receive a retirement salary of US$200,000 per year, but you can also use your status as a former president to make money. Take the Obamas as an example. After retirement, one writes books and gives speeches, and the other enters the entertainment industry, earning millions every year.

In fact, it is meaningless to talk about the salary of the President of the United States. It depends more on the added value brought by the status of the President. Not only the president of the United States, but also many civil servants in the United States hold office with the belief of serving the country. In terms of money, it will be easier to make money after leaving office.
