30. Exactly. All we know is he reported the $400k presidential salary as income on his tax returns.

Who knows what really happened to money he claims he gave to federal agencies run by his appointed cronies. Plus, his only known gift in 2020 was $220k to the National Park Service on July 23, 2020, according to government documents. The Washington Post said it surveyed all major federal agencies and none reported receiving anything from Trump after that gift in July 2020. https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-didnt-appear-to-donate-presidents-salary-for-last-6-months-2021-7?amp=#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=16719680908640&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com

Regardless, making ocassional gifts to the enitity of his choice means he is still controlling the money, i.e. it is his money. Saying he won't take a salary means it stays in the general fund. That's not what happened.
