Herbert hoover is the only other president to not accept his salary. Others have taken* it and given it to charity and then deducted it from their taxes which technically is taking +the money. ..but it looks good and generous. No fanfare Trumps way.

I’m not sure that is correct. It looks like all presidents have accepted their salaries. Two, Hoover and Kennedy, gave it away according to this article:
