Donald Trump to be 3rd President not to take Salary

United States President-elect, Donald Trump has told CBS News Leslie Stahl that he would forgo taking a salary while he’s president.

The President elect added that he did not even know how much the president earned.

“I think I have to by law take $1, so I’ll take $1 a year,” Trump said. “But it’s a ― I don’t even know what it is. Do you know what the salary is?”

“$400,000 you’re giving up,” Stahl answered.

“No, I’m not gonna take the salary. I’m not taking it.”

Donald Trump will become the third U.S. president in history to not take a salary, according to Snopes.com as Herbert Hoover and John F. Kennedy both donated their salaries to charity.

President-elect Trump first said he would not take a salary on the campaign trail in September 2015, before reminding the crowd gathered that forgoing the pay “was not a big deal” for him.

During his wide-ranging “60 Minutes” interview, Trump told his supporters accused of perpetrating racist and bigoted attacks after the election to “stop it,” and also said women might have to travel to different states for abortions if the pro-life Supreme Court judges he appoints overturn Roe v. Wade.

Trump also said he plans to deport or imprison 2 to 3 million undocumented immigrants living in America.
