As the president with a few hundred million dollars he's a lot more to make from his supporters and plenty freebies too. The man will probably double his assets by the time he's out of the white house given that his poor discipline doesn't result in a nuclear war. So, the few hundred thousand salary relinquishment is just an act to ask for forgiveness once he beeps his nation and the world completely.

The natioanl debt is a huge scam in which excuses are used, money printed and regular people that owe abused. Even though American debt is so gigantic, it can get much larger regardless some consequenses. Trump cares little about people or the American budget but much about his popularity and attention now.

Trump has declared that he will not take the allotted Presidential salary of $400,000 per year, instead, he will take just $1 as is required by law.

This is great news for the American economy. If Trump stays in power long enough, and continues to forego $399,999 salary each year, then the national debt could be paid of in what.....40,000 years or so?
