US President-elect Donald J. Trump has promised to keep to a pledge he made on the campaign trail not to take the  Presidential salary.
The US President takes home $400,000 per annum as their salary, but Trump says he would waive the figure and instead take $1, as he’s mandated by law to at least take a payment.
Trump was on 60 Minutes with Leslie Stahl when he was asked if he would take the Presidential salary, as he had pledged during the campaign not to. He said he was not interested in it.
“I think I have to by law take $1, so I’ll take $1 a year. But it’s a…I don’t even know what it is.” he said.
“Do you know what the salary is?” he asked Stahl.
Stahl replied: it’s “$400,000 you’re giving up.”
“No, I’m not going to take the salary. I’m not taking it,” he responded.
Trump spoke on varying issues during the interview, including the Supreme Court’s landmark ‘Obergefell v Hodges’ decision that legalised gay marriage across all 50 states – saying that he was ‘fine’ with it.
“It’s law, it was settled in the Supreme Court” he said.
“It’s done…these cases have gone to the Supreme Court. They’ve been settled and I’m fine with that”
As is typical of Trump though, he said something different on the same Supreme Court, promising to appoint pro-life justices to overturn ‘Roe v Wade’, which also legalised abortion across the country.
