Trump supposedly 'donates' his income quarterly. I wonder someone in the news can ask the following:

.

While he rips off the country every which way he can, he boasts that he donates the diminutive $400K a year.

If he is cash-strapped, I wonder if 3rd and 4th Quarter 2020 and his 1st Quarter 2021 will be donated.


Mr. Trump, will you continue to donate the remainder of your presidential salary to charity?

I'd like to see the receipts on that. He's known to make charitable pledges and skipping out. Midnight Writer Nov 2020 #3

He cashed a 13 cent check from Spy magazine one time, has always been a money grubbing cheapo, no amount is too small to grub.

What they don't say is he turns around and more than makes up for it anytime the government goes to any of his properties.

He could just refuse a presidential salary, but that does him no good.

So, he takes the quarterly check in hand and then donates it back for the write-off and the photo op. No matter how small the grift, none is too small for this grifter to take.
