President Donald Trump's administration released its annual report revealing the salaries for every staffer inside the White House.
The report shows employees' earnings in a range of $59,070 at the lowest to $225,700 at the highest, though a few aren't accepting salaries at all.
The top-paid staffer at the White House is Jacalynne Klopp, senior advisor and ONLY staffer earning $225,700. Behind her is Edgar Mkrtchian, an associate counsel, making $203,645.
Behind them comes a group of 33 staffers making $195,200, which includes many well-known names. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt takes in this level of salary, as does border czar Tom Homan, chief of staff Susan Wiles, trade advisor Peter Navarro, communications director Steven Cheung and police chief of staff and homeland security advisor Stephen Miller.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is chief among these, not receiving any compensation for his White House role as national security advisor. Special envoy Steve Witkoff also receives compensation from the State Department rather than the White House.
Trump's own compensation is not listed in the report, but the pay scheme for the president is laid out in federal law. As president, Trump earns a base salary of $400,000, as well as a $50,000 expense allowance, $100,000 for travel and $19,000 for entertainment [Trump donated his salary to government agencies his first term in office and said he will do the same during his second term.]
There are 108 employees who make between $59,000 and $80,000, while Trump's speechwriters earn between $92,500 and $121,500.
Eight employees do not receive salaries at all, though some of those are due to overlapping roles in other sections of government. **

THEY WILL DROP FROM THE ROLLS==
THEY TOOK BUYOUTS TO SEPT 30.
Those two especially are worth every dime!
In his typically frank way, Tom Homan once mentioned that he took a big cut in pay when Trump asked him to come “get ‘em outta here”.
I’m surprised that Witkoff is taking any compensation from the government. He’s worth a couple hundred million.
Homan and Leavit are each worth a million a year. Brilliant at their jobs and in the public eye.
I agree.
I live in a suburb of Seattle.
Median Income for a single adult here is almost $120,000.
Median price for a single family home is slightly above $1 million.
Minimum Wage in Seattle city is $20.77 - no job exemptions.
“”police chief of staff and homeland security advisor Stephen Miller.””
More proofreading needs to take place - how about POLICY chief of staff?
What is Steven Millers salary?
The rest of those guys are way underpaid.
Trump hasn’t pocketed a dime from his government salary.
If money was the motive, many of those in congress and in government jobs, would be working elsewhere.
Heck, if looking for a spot that pays well, there are lifeguard jobs in California that pay up to a million dollars, with many earning about $200,000.

Wow Tom Homan is way underpaid
“… White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt takes in this level of salary…”
Whatever they’re paying her is money well spent. I love, love watching her slap down the dummy presstitutes.
So in other words the MAGA stars might have to drop out and take a job at McDonalds to keep up with the cost of living in DC...
It’s compensation for the inevitable lawsuits.
Please take a hefty sum from my taxes alone and give it to Karoline Leavitt, thank you.
In addition to what she currently earns, I mean.
Pales in comparison to those congressional people making billions on insider stock trades and tax payer money scams found with DODE
