Biden should follow Trump's lead on pay
Like President Trump or not, I think most rational people would agree the unique and generous precedent he set when he donated all of his salary back to the government was a good thing. (He of course, has been maliciously attacked for allegedly not paying taxes for several years.) I guess the $1.6 million paid to the Treasury doesn't count if you are Donald Trump. Anyway, assuming Joe Biden officially becomes the president-elect on Dec. 14, I think it would be a terrific gesture on his part to continue the precedent established by President Trump. We know he can afford it, what with all the cash flowing into Biden Inc. from China, Ukraine and the Biden Cancer Initiative.
