Trump: I’m the Only President in U.S. History Who Waived His Presidential Salary; ‘I‘m the Only Schmuck’

TRANSCRIPT:

TRUMP: “You know what? I don’t even talk about this much. I get no credit for it. So, as president, I make $2 million over 4 years, $2.5 million. I waived it. I’m the only president that ever waived it. And they never, ever talk about it. But every week some of the scum from The New York Times will call, did he waive it? And my secretary was saying yes, he did. If I ever said no, he didn’t, it would be a headline scandal. But you know that in the history of our country, and this surprised me because we’ve had wealthy presidents before. In the history of our country, there’s never been a president that waived his salary. I’m the only schmuck. I get no credit for it. You know what? I get no credit for it. Nobody ever writes about it. It’s the first time.”
