Trump pledges to forgo his presidential salary during his time in the White House
#2
Well, being that he is a billionaire, I think it would have sent the wrong message to the citizens if he did accept it to put in his own pocket.  But he could have accepted it and put it toward some good cause.

As for donating it to charities, we know that the most well-known charities only donate a fraction of the money to "the cause", while the CEO keeps the largest percentage to "run things" connected to the charity.  (Like the annual parties, trips around the country, plane fares, expensive meals and  meetings in only the nicest locations, etc.)   tinyok 

So, instead of any money being donated to a charity, he should take it and see to it personally that it goes to help the Veterans, or develop housing for the homeless (a tiny housing community ?), or many other things... but let his people be in charge of seeing that it gets done with the salary that he is "gifting" toward the cause. 

That's just my opinion.   tinysure
