Trump dispenses with presidential content: a sign of the future!

USA - Donald Trump again sets a sign and announces that he will do without his salary during his upcoming presidency. In an interview with Kristen Welker from NBC News, the future president said that he will reject the $ 400,000 due to $ 380,000). This decision is particularly noteworthy, since Trump, who did not pay for the first time and instead donated them for charitable purposes, now emphasized that he would possibly be the first president since George Washington to do without his salary, as Heise.de reported.

no money for the state treasury

Trump, who, according to Forbes, has a fortune of around 2.2 billion euros, would like to set another sign of economy because he plans to do without his pension claims. When asked whether he accepted it, Trump replied: "I don't think I accepted it." This shows that he continues to adhere to his policy of reducing government spending. In an international comparison, German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz receives around 360,000 euros annually, which makes Trump’s salary even more attractive, as BILD.de notes.

Trump's intention to do without his salary seems to be a strategic step to strengthen his position in the political scene and to present him as someone who is willing to avoid financial advantages in difficult times. Even if he confirms that he does not expect public recognition for this gesture, this behavior underlines that Trump wants to give an approach to reducing government expenditure a direct impetus, while at the same time he does not push his personal wealth into the background.
