With all this talk about Trump's shady finances

[vicman]

I seem to recall that during the 2016 presidential, the orange one claimed that he was so rich he would donate all of his presidential salary to charity. Can anyone verify if I'm right or wrong, and, if I'm correct, does anybody know how that's working out?

1. he donates his salary each quarter to various federal agencies

donnie being the grifter-in-chief and heading up all the agencies with corrupt cronies, i wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a self-serving angle involved, but it does appear that at least he's not just pocketing the money without putting on a show....

2. Thanks for the info

4. He says he does

But given we haven't seen his tax returns we'll never know for sure.

5. fair point, though i wouldn't believe his tax returns either.

3. Then again, most of the money the taxpayers spend on his golf

goes into his pocket, so it works out for him anyway. Kind of like when repugs give me $300 tax break, but cost me $100,000 in income. See how great that is?
