(Chuckle) Yeah, winning the presidency is actually going to cost him money since all his business/investment activities will have to be put into a blind trust per Federal conflict of interest laws. Annual presidential salary & benefits are $450K.

Eh, he’s just gonna hand it over to his kids—a good tax move as well as giving it to the ones who would be making most of the day to day decisions.

But if he gets tired of the gig, he could hand it over to Pence for the next term before the double burden of governing while raising money and running for reelection kicks in.
