Billionaire U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Thursday he does not want the $400,000 annual salary that comes with the White House job and would turn it down if elected.

Trump, the front-runner for the Republican nomination in the 2016 race despite having no political experience, was asked at a town hall-style meeting in Rochester, New Hampshire, if, as president, he would roll back generous pension and healthcare benefits given to members of Congress.

"Well, heck, maybe he’ll find a way to use his own plane, too! :)"

Doubtful, the planes that compromise the main Air Force One aircraft have way to many secure communications connections and other secret stuff built into them.

He should challenge her to commit to do the same. The Saudis would cover it for her.

Hillary would take it, but the bribe money, foreign money, redirected charitable money, and speaking engagement money would dwarf that by $50 million dollars a year.

It would be disgustingly corrupt. If it could GET any worse, she would be the one that could do it.

She’s a nasty woman!

Not that money-grubbing creep. She snatches the very food out of starving people...ie, Haiti...and sells watered down drugs to poor countries.

She is a total narcissist who only thinks of herself.

I recommend also no big inaugural. Have Roberts sign him in in his chambers and right to work. To much celebrating by people who do nothing and then celebrate.....tying up police and the secret service cost the tax payers.

Trump was right. She is.

I agree with you both.

Trump has been saying this for over six months, at least that long.

Great idea! And as much he has noted that he intends to accomplish in his first day, he might consider it if you sent your suggestion to his campaign headquarters. or Tweet him. :)

Seriesly....

It’s quite obvious to those who have eyes to see and ears to listen to her nasty policies. Especially her ideas on late-term murder of tiny babies.

That alone should have her in jail. And yet......

That 400 thou is a pinch of chicken feed to what the Clintons have set up if there is another Clinton presidency. It’s all in the influence and power and what they can get from that after 20+ years of crooked participation in national politics and ‘non profit’ experience.

This is not something he just thought up, I saw him say the same thing in an interview when he hadn’t been campaigning more than about a month or so. Either Bill O’Reilly or Hannity, I can’t remember which.

He also was asked if moving into the White House wouldn’t be a step down from his current digs at Trump Tower, he said something like ...yeah but it’s a special place...

I’m sure it’s been around, but it doesn’t hurt to remind folks.

No joke. They’d be renting out more than just the Lincoln Bedroom!

Wonder how many of the “bimbos” ended up there as payment. LOL!

I agree! Restoring America will take every ounce of time, energy, and resources. It would also be a strong visual message that their GRAVY TRAIN IS OVER!
