Federal taxes paid, first year in office

Ronald Reagan: $165,202
George H.W. Bush: $101,382
Bill Clinton: $62,670
George W. Bush: $250,221
Barack Obama: $1,792,414
Donald Trump: $750
One thing I& #39;m hearing a lot is "well duh Trump donates his salary." Per the IRS the max charitable writeoff is 50% of the donation. $400k in donations leaves him with $200k to pay taxes on.

And that& #39;s in addition to the millions his other ventures make.
Yep. "The vast majority of the family’s 2009 income is the proceeds from the sale of the President’s books."
