Did they mention that he donates his whole salary to charity?

This is just silly.

The super-rich often take a token "salary".

Someone like Warren Buffett takes 100K per year, so yeah he pays a lot less in income taxes than his secretary.

IIRC, Bill Gates takes a dollar per year.

Trump doesn't make his money by punching a clock and getting a w-2 at the end of the year.

Although I'm sure he made a nice amount as a TV star.

Also had ownership of The Apprentice, which made him a LOT more.

Trumps' POTUS salary is probably chump change to him.

The rich make their money in investments, stocks, bonds, etc.

Taxed at much different rates than just what the average person pays.

People with very high *salaries*, like Patrick Mahomes get raked over the coals at tax time.

But I'm sure HE takes every deduction possible,and has a top notch tax attorney doing his returns.

Of course not! What they won't tell anyone is that if Trump is not permitted to "work" at any other job other than as POTUS, and he donates his entire salary then his income tax would be small. What they also won't say is he pays a lot more taxes in other ways - businesses, employees, state and local, etc. There's a reason the NY SLimes only mention a tiny, cherry-picked part of a supposed copy of his tax documents - which constitutes a crime on their part for publishing private financial information. Chris Wallace was equally slimy for asking about that in the debate last night. He should be ashamed of himself!
