What is President Trump doing with the salary he did not want?

But based on the suggestions White House reporters are making on Twitter, that would result in Trump giving money to the very media he despises. Chauhan asked Spicer, who appeared to be buying an iPhone. However, the MSNBC report left out the second part of Huckabee-Sanders’ comment that said Trump’s staff was still in the process of sorting out any legal issues associated with him returning or donating the salary.

And he was wearing that watch as he was asked about the incident at Monday’s White House press briefing.

“Of course, the deep state exists”, Gingrich told the Associated Press on Tuesday.

Mr. Spicer is good people as we say back home.

Trump has refused to release his tax returns, which would give the first full view of his actual wealth as well as the scope of his debts, donations and business ties.

In September 2015, while he was still on the campaign trail, Trump told a crowd of supports that it was “no big deal” for him to take a yearly salary of just $1.

The annual salary of the US President is 400,000 Dollars.

“Raqa remains their (IS’s) administrative capital, it’s where we think a lot of their leaders are located, it’s where we think they are planning a lot of attacks around the world”, said McGurk. Three months later he admitted - again to Stern - that he was not donating the whole salary.

According to Spicer, Trump wants reporters to help him in choosing the spheres for the charity.

The Washington Post has been dutifully documenting Mr Trump’s charitable contributions and found something of a gap between the grand promises and the rather more modest payments. This was in spite of at least $8.5 million in promised gifts during that time. In other words, it’s impossible to say if this is one of those Trump things we’re supposed to interpret literally, or if we’re all just supposed to understand that he’s being sarcastic when he says something about charity.
