    Donald Trump says he would refuse a presidential salary if he wins

    Republican front-runner Donald Trump said Monday that he would forego a presidential salary if elected next year."I won't take even one dollar. I'm totally giving up my salary if I become president," Trump said in a short video posted to his Twitter account as part of a question-and-answer session at Twitter's New York headquarters.
    Trump is self-funding the vast majority of his bid for president — he has not sought out wealthy donors to back his run, though there are some outside "super PACs" supporting him.This isn't the first time that Trump has suggested that he'd make personal sacrifices if he became president.During the second Republican debate on Wednesday, Trump said that if he were president, he'd allow wealthy Americans to opt out of receiving their Social Security benefits. He added he would opt out himself."I know people that, frankly, it has no impact on their life whatsoever. There are many people — I would almost say leave it up to them, but I would be willing to check it off, and say I will not get Social Security,"Trump said.

    Trump has said that many times in the past. He also won't spend a lot of his any time in office fundraising.

    Well, that will slow down the national debt for about 45 seconds.

    Can the president file for bankruptcy while in office? This is an honest question, I assume the answer is yes but, damn, that'd look bad.

    Trump using that as if it adds some legitimacy to him as a candidate

    Guy cannot debate even basic policies and expects to fleece the American public because as a BILLIONAIRE, he'll turn down the $400,000

    He'll just abuse the power of the office like Bush and Cheney did to make hundreds of millions, if not BILLIONS more

    And he'll "refuse" the $400,000

    And somewhere Brooks is voting for Trump because of this

    Is there anything this clown won't say?

    One thing Drunpf has proven though is that you certainly don't need to be smart to be rich...

    Money and intelligence no longer mutually exclusive.mm
