    You will never love him as much as he loves himself.

    Worse than that.

    He has lost at least $800 million since 2016.

    Not to mention that his false charitable foundation was closed by the courts...... since he used it only to evade taxes of the country he governs.

    Really a generous man.

    What you say is true and it is the main reason that the socialist/communist/democrat party works so hard to try and bring him down. Who want's a President that actually does his level best to keep all his campaign promises? Just think:

    1. Lowest unemployment rate for all groups ever.

    2. Consumer confidence at a all time high.

    3. Stock market at a all time high.

    4. Manufacturing jobs coming back to America.

    5. Bad trade deals from the past being tore up and being reworked in Americas favor.

    6. Burdensome regulations being rolled back so America can compete globally again.

    7. Exposing a corrupt justice system protected by past administrations.

    8. Exposing a corrupt Media that is in bed with the communist/socialist/democrat party.

    9. Fighting to keep our country safe at our borders.

    10. Donating his entire salary to different agency's and groups that are trying to MAGA.

    This is true. He actually has lost money by giving up his life in the private sector to work for the people. He isn't getting rich off his office like Obama, Clintons, Reid, Nancy et al

    This.

    Trump is turning out to be the best President in my lifetime, and he works for free, while a destructive anti-American lunatic like AOC wants to increase her salary.

    And I'm sure you think his losses have nothing to do with his unpopularity.

    Getting rich is okay when it's Trump, but it's a scandal when they're democrats.

    How does it have to do with his popularity? He isn't getting paid at the current job. He was in the private sector.

    We just established that the President isn't getting rich off the job, you actually provided that information. Yes it's a scandal that the Clintons were getting paid $500K for a 20 min "speech" by Russia when Ms. Clinton was SoS, and it was scandal, that actually lead to new legislation when Nancy P was using information she learned from her job in Congress to buy and sell stocks...in the private sector it was called "insider trading"

    You praise him for donating his salary, and criticise Obama for failing to do the same thing.

    According to various sources, his net worth is about 3 billion. This 100,000 donation is equivalent to just over $3 to someone who has a net worth of $100,000. It is equivalent to $33 to someone who has a net worth of $1,000,000.

    In other words, not a big deal to him. Obama never had (and never will have) a net worth approaching Trump's. Your praise and criticism are both misplaced.

    Uuuummm. Trump was already rich before he got into politics. Can you say the same for Democrats? Yeah. nope.

    And no Democrat has to deal with 90% negative BS from the MSM, 24/7.

    This man dupes The Following in to thinking he is doing something of consequence when what he did is a PR stunt to cover for the fact he has done virtually nothing to secure our elections from cyber-hacking or other means of interference from foreign meddling.

    Do you have a copy of the bank statement showing the payment? Oh that amount is half of one year subscription to his golf course that was increased from $100,000 to $200,000 on the day he became President

    Very true...this is not a big deal to the President. It's also true that Obama will never have a net worth close to Trump. Trump had a successful business, which provided wealth for himself and others. Obama got rich selling some books once he became President.

    What a Political Clown Stunt. This is like an average person giving five dollars to a poor person and bragging about their generosity.

    Name the last President before Trump to donate his salary.

    Trump puts his money where his mouth is while dems to the exact opposite.

    Funny, I checked all presidents and I have yet to find one named "Obuffoon." What history book are you reading?

    Sure why not? I expect my Presidents to work on vacations home. Reagan did it, the Bushes, John Kennedy, it's not uncommon.

    I disagree.

    Its just one side won't give him credit for anything.

    No matter, he's just here to win and he's doing it.

    It’s meaningless because his salary means nothing to him and so he won’t miss it if he gives it away.
    Why isn’t he giving it to those poor farmers who are suffering from loss of markets for their produce, rather than to a government funded department?
