Did Trump really forego his salary?

He makes a big deal that he donates his annual salary every year.

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

It's a common issue amongst the ignorant that they can't think beyond salaries in terms of wealth. They have real trouble grasping that the truly rich don't make their money the same way they do, only more.

yep, his family fortune has increased a lot in the last 4 years.  Net value seems to have decreased a bit, because he over-evaluated some assets.  But he actually made money while being President.
