Yet Another Trump Surprise

During the campaign, Trump promised he would take "no salary" if elected — a pledge he reiterated after he won.

"I'm not going to the take the salary," he said on CBS' "60 Minutes" in November.

[...]

[B]ut as his second payday approaches, the White House is declining to say if the president has donated any of his earnings yet.

[...]

MSNBC requested details and documentation about any salary donations from the White House, the Treasury Department and the Office of Personnel Management, which all declined to say whether Trump has donated any of his salary to date. (OPM referred questions to the White House.)

[...]

During the transition, Trump also unveiled a plan to "donate all profits from foreign governments' patronage of his hotels and similar businesses" to the Treasury Department. The plan was released by Trump's private law firm, Morgan Lewis, but no system or accounting has been released for how or when such donations will be processed or disclosed.

You'll see it when you see his tax returns.

UPDATE 3/14:  Or maybe you won't.

....but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
