During his campaign for the presidency, U.S. President Donald Trump said he would not collect the yearly $400,000 presidential salary. On Monday, the president followed through with his promise. Trump gave the money he has earned so far as president to the U.S. National Park Service. The donation totaled $78,333.32. Trump is the third U.S. president to have rejected a salary. John F. Kennedy and Herbert Hoover were the others. Both were extremely wealthy men like Trump. Trump’s press secretary, Sean Spicer, announced the first of Trump’s donations during a daily press meeting Monday.
