Donald Trump has begun his second term as President of the United States with a salary determined by Congress and regulated by Title 3 of the United States Code, with no modifications since 2001. Unlike other positions, the presidential salary remains fixed regardless of the economic context.
At his swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol, it was revealed what the salary for the president during his term will be. Numerous businesspeople and political leaders, including President Javier Milei, participated in Trump's inauguration. The president will receive an annual salary of $400,000, the same amount that his predecessor Joe Biden received.
In addition to the salary, the President of the United States has a number of additional benefits that complement his compensation. These benefits include annual allowances for expenses related to clothing, entertainment, and travel. Trump will also enjoy benefits such as traveling in the presidential limousine, the Marine One helicopter, and Air Force One. Additionally, the White House will have its own budget for maintenance and any necessary renovations, as well as free medical care throughout the term.
