Nov 2019

from Article II of the Constitution -

The President shall, at stated times, receive for his services, a compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that period any other emolument from the United States, or any of them.

(meaning I believe he is supposed to pay for that himself... and/or get approval from Congress for "gifts", where you see those items from foreign countries donated to the Smithsonian )
