One Comment
Normally, I’d applaud Trump’s initiative to take only one dollar a year as salary as President. But then I remember how much he bills his own security staff to stay in his building, how he leaves Ivanka with his visitors to sell her jewelry and gold courses and how the presidents and prime ministers or every other country got it that “when you visit Trump, you stay at his hotel”. Oh, and also that he never respects promises that cost him money.
