Then pay Trump $20 trillion with the understanding he will just donate it all to pay down the debt. Using your logic, that would pay off the debt entirely and it wouldn't cost tax payers a dime.Of course it would. It just would have gone to paying down the debt and not to Trump.That would put a negligible dent in the increase to the debt that will occur during his watch.He doesn't have to accept it, but he still has to be paid. Read my post again... this time for clarity...

He can donate his salary if he wants but it's still going to cost tax payers $400K per year. *
And when he donates it to reduce the national debt...........
And it wouldn't "cost tax payers $400K per year".
Of course it would.
No. Money donated to the US Treasury does not cost the US Treasury.
