But it was unclear yet in 2020 as you can roll that forward. You read the article. This is not the first time Trump has donated his salary to an agency facing an urgent problem. Since taking office, Trump has directed his $400,000 annual salary to a different agency each quarter.

Yeah, even though his tax returns proved otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racer254 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 It is not uncommon for presidential and congressional candidates to run up millions of dollars in campaign debt, debts that can take (especially in the case of unsuccessful candidacies) many months, or even years, to repay — if they're paid off at all. As of August 2008, for example, Senator Hillary Clinton was still "trying to raise money to pay off roughly $13 million in campaign debts," That same article did state that Senator Biden was one of several 2008 presidential candidates still owing (as of June 2008) significant campaign debts: On the Democratic side, in addition to Clinton and Kucinich, Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware owes $1.2 million, Sen. Christopher Dodd of Connecticut owes $380,000 and Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico has $317,000 in debts. Republican debtors include former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who owes $3.6 million. A Giuliani spokeswoman said repaying the money is "Giuliani's No. 1 priority outside of helping to elect John McCain as president." Technically, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney leads all debtors with $44 million in obligations. But most of that debt represents money he loaned his own campaign with the expectation he would not get it back.

Both sides run up campaign debt. Only one side donated their POTUS salary during office though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
