President Donald Trump on May 4 said he would again be donating his entire presidential salary back to the federal government, as he did in his first term.

“I do something that no other president has done, they think maybe George Washington has done. I contribute my entire salary to the government, back to the government. And I’m doing it again,” Trump said.
