Trump Donates Entire Presidential Salary Again, Honors Promise To Americans [WATCH]

President Donald J. Trump has once again donated his entire presidential salary, continuing a practice that distinguished him from others in modern American political history, as reported by Gateway Hispanic.

The announcement came during a recent address in which the president reiterated his long-standing position that the presidency is a service—not a path to personal wealth.

“No other president — I’ve been told, with the possible exception of George Washington, though they haven’t been able to find the records — has donated their salary,” Trump said. “We’ve had wealthy presidents before, but none have done this. And yes, I will donate my salary again.”

Trump has consistently donated the $400,000 annual presidential salary throughout his time in office, beginning during his first term.

The funds have gone to a range of government agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Agriculture, and others. All donations have been documented.

As president, Trump has made clear that he did not run for office to profit personally, but to return power to the people and challenge entrenched political interests.

“I don’t do this for the money. I do it for you. For the United States. And because this nation deserves leaders who love it more than they love themselves.”

While many politicians have arrived in Washington with modest means and left with substantial wealth, Trump has made a point of breaking that pattern.

His decision to forgo the salary stands in sharp contrast to a political establishment that has often prioritized personal gain. Despite facing years of investigations, lawsuits, and continuous media scrutiny, Trump has maintained his position on public service.

There are no confirmed records of any other modern president doing the same. Though some historians suggest George Washington may have declined a salary, no official documentation has verified it. Trump’s donations, however, have been publicly recorded.

Trump’s action is seen by supporters as a message to younger Americans: political leadership can still be grounded in service rather than personal enrichment.

His administration has promoted policies aimed at strengthening the middle class, securing borders, protecting American industry, and restoring national sovereignty.

President Trump’s continuation of salary donations reinforces his position that leadership is demonstrated through action. The president has again distinguished himself by rejecting the financial perks of office, reminding voters that public office should be used to serve—not profit.
