(15,388 posts)43. it depends on how much he made from other sources. What percentage of his income is his salary?
Obama gave the $1.4M Nobel prize money to charity so if Trump gave his salary it would be a bit more than the nobel prize alone. And Obama gave hundreds of thousands more each year. So, no, Obama didn't donate his salary but he did donate about the same amount.
