I do understand that giving up his modest salary has a value to the man well beyond the dollar amount. His supporters stare at it like a shiny object in the hands of an amateur magician. Nevermind what’s going on with his other hand where the big money is - DJT, cryptocurrency, NFTs, political contributions which support his lifestyle, and of course Trump merchandise. Wonder why he keeps going back and forth with tariffs? (Hint - he knows how the market will react and can profit from each swing).
