    It is true that he does not accept the $400,000 salary; hopefully as a billionaire he doesn't feel the pinch too much; according to the Washington Post, by the end of August 2017, Trump will have spent all or part of 53 days in office at leisure compared to Barrack Obama's 15 days; moreover according to the Washington Post, Trump will have played 33 rounds of golf, which is almost twice as much as what Barrack Obama played in 2009.

    While he may not have taken "vacation", he's taken 3 times as much time off for holidays as Obama took off. If as you maintain, he is averaging 19 hours per day of work, that means he's only getting 35 hours of sleep per week unless he is not counting eating meals as part of the 19 hours per day and then he's getting less sleep then originally factored in.

    Below is a breakdown of monies spent on travel and security for both Obama's and Trump's travel. It would appear that Trump has already overspent what Obama spent while as president.

    All things equal, can you subtract the pallets of cash Obama Delivered to Iran, subtract that and recalculate?

    Since I'm not aware of any pallets of cash delivered to Iran, I cannot subtract nor recalculate that; however if you have information on that feel free to conduct your own recalculations and post them on this thread.

    At a press conference Wednesday in New York, one of Trump's lawyers, Sheri Dillon, a tax attorney at Morgan Lewis, said that the president-elect would give the profits his hotels generate from foreign governments to the Treasury.

    That is part of a plan to avoid conflicts of interest under the new administration. Reports of foreign diplomats staying at Trump's hotels have raised concerns that these individuals could curry favor with the incoming president.

    Numerous sources have attested to the fact that Trump averages 4 hours of sleep per night: he's a workaholic pure and simple.

    He's running circles around Congress and they're pretty unhappy about it, lol.

And now, any of those who refuse, or are unable, to prove they are citizens will receive free insurance paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance because they are citizens.”

    That's great news! Now if we can cut his traveling costs that'll help out even more in saving money and he'll be able to rightfully claim that he was able to get to the bare bones on travel expenditures and he'll look really good.

    Good to see that he's being proactive in turning over the profits his hotels generate from foreign governments to the treasury. Ideally he'll turn over profits from his golf cart rentals and other services he charges the government to the treasury as well which will sit well with most Americans. It's good he's setting the example for future presidents.

    Hey, i'm always interested in news.

    Post addendum; this video is about some nefarious payments made to Iran and has nothing to do with Obama's travel expenses; I'd suggest you start a new thread and we can discuss it further if you'd like, after all we certainly don't want to derail this thread do we? How's that sound?
