Keeping his 2015 campaign promise, President Donald Trump donates his entire salary and has to keep a $1 token amount.
Since presidents are required to be compensated for their work, Trump takes $1 each year from his paychecks. According to a USA Today fact check, Trump has written checks equal to a quarter of his $400,000 annual salary every quarter to various government agencies including National Parks Service, Small Business Administration, Department of Education, and Department of Veteran Affairs among others.
Trump still makes profit from his real estate empire which critics say is conflict on interest for someone in office since it violates the constitution's emoluments clauses.
