　　In the same video, Trump said he was 'totally self-funding' his campaign and said that he 'won't take money other than the small stuff'.

　　Herbert Hoover, who made millions of dollars in mining before becoming president in 1929, and John F. Kennedy, who came from a wealthy family and became president in 1961, both donated their presidential salaries to charity.

　　The US Code says on its website: 'The President shall receive in full for his services during the term for which he shall have been elected compensation in the aggregate⁴ amount of $400,000 a year, to be paid monthly, and in addition an expense allowance of $50,000 to assist in defraying expenses relating to or resulting from the discharge of his official duties.'
