“Trump donated his presidential salary! He's not in it for the money!”

What You Say

Trump donated roughly $1.6 million in salary over four years while his businesses collected millions from foreign governments, lobbyists, and political allies staying at his properties. The Constitution's Emoluments Clause exists because salary gestures don't offset conflicts of interest. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington documented over 3,700 conflicts of interest during his first term.
