How Much is the US President Paid? 

Actually, if he makes 400,000$ a year, then today he'd make 1095.90$ 😉

It some how seems a bit off...

Are you sure? Asking for a friend.

me: oh 400k in 2019 dollars? i wonder how much that is in 201- wait hold up a sec

How much would $400,000 be in 2040? Don't hold up a sec either

Power move

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It's a really shit response. At the very least he could've responded to whatever criticism they had?

@@jamesayewale5695 If he responded to them, it'd be a shit response. By showing he doesn't give a fuck, he's above that

I heard trump makes 1 $ a year because he refused the rest.

@@leonardlangner9949 with his actions lately I imagine he wanted more than $1

leonard Langner No, he wanted to take nothing but is legally required to take the full $400,000 because of a statute in the Constitution. So every quarter, he donates his salary to a different federal agency or department that he believes needs it most.

@@leonardlangner9949 That is true, President Trump refused taking a salary, he donates to charities of his choice. Only prez to do that since JFK. I"m old enough to remember all this and remember 1960 election between Nixon and JFK.

Short answer: $0 Long answer: Trump foregoes 100% of his salary.

@@europeansovietunion7372 actually it's 1 USD, that's the minimum allowed

European Empire uhm... if your tryna make him seem selfless know, he makes enough money outside of being president. secondly, he still has not released his tax returns 🙃.

Freddie Mercury No, he has to receive the full $400,000 salary due to a statue in the US Constitution. However, he so far has donated his entire salary to a federal department or agency every quarter. People have asked why he didn’t give it to charity (as JFK and Herbert Hoover did) and he explained that the point was to not spend the taxpayers’ money on anything non-essential/not related to the job of the government and since he couldn’t legally forgo the money, at least he could put it towards a part of the government that needs it.

Freddie Mercury I disagree with him on a lot (although I do somewhat support him and will cheer when I think he does something right) and generally believe he’s not a very good person, but *that* I can get behind

Yeah it sounds super complex

Given some amount of 2019 dollars, if you Square it, followed by adding 1,600 dollars, then Quadruple the sum, afterword remove 6,400 dollars, then take the square root, and lastly half the total, most of the time you will get the correct answer in 2019 dollars. The math behind it: x --> x^2 --> x^2 + 1600 --> 4(x^2 + 1600) = 4(x^2) + 4(1600) = (2x)^2 + 6400 --> (2x)^2 --> |2x| --> |x|* By |x| I mean the positive version of x. The square root is always positive, even if the number squared beforehand. This is where the most of comes from.

Blank facts

Actually, its not. The central banks of the world like to keep inflation at exactly 2% per year. 2% inflation per year would be about 50% in 25 years. Why too much inflation is bad is obvious. Though I'd appreciate some deflation, there is actually good reason to prevent it. Basically if dollars were constantly getting more valuable, people would just hoard them and be terrified of spending. That would wreak the economy, so central banks like to have just enough inflation to not do that. For whatever reason they calculated that 2% was the ideal. Before the 70's the dollar was on the gold standard, so there was pretty much no inflation unless the gov't passed a law to exchange more dollars for gold.

@@jeffbenton6183 To be precise, 2% inflation per year would be about 50% in 21 years because of compounding.

@@jeffbenton6183 no, it is a Keynesian lie to say that people would just hoard money if it appreciated, because of temporal preference

nick9399 I am so confused 400,000 = 600,000$ in 2000 but in 2019 400,000=400,000 😂 like the prices increased that much! That is one hell of a stat I seriously doubt the moneys worth from 2000 is correct but I also DONT GIVE A 💩

BeelzeBub The financial crisis of 2008 significantly increased the rate of inflation, so yes it sounds about right.

BeelzeBub the hell you talking about? I was pointing out the typo at 0:44.

I just picked a comment that no one said anything on 😂 but I heard that Mr Trump doesn’t even take the 400,000 paycheck! Like what a legend! Here’s an interesting fact! The federal debt has only been completely payed off once after Andrew Jackson helped the central bank and we stayed out of debt for 2 years before entering and never leaving again?

nick9399 George Washington’s 25,000 was worth 625,000$ maybe 725,000 but that’s crazy because the 400,000 Bill Clinton got was worth more than the 400,000 trump would have received

lets be honest, all presidents are successful businessmen in the first place. They take the job for the power, they dont need the money

Actually, Truman was a true public servant. When he left office, he was near bankrupt and had no retirement money set aside. So, he’s the reason the President get a pension when they leave office and 10 years of secret service protection after they leave office.

@@lonestarr1490 That's not far from the truth: During the cold war the Pentagon was worried that the launch codes for the Minuteman ICBMs wouldn't be available in a crisis, so they set the launch codes in their missile command centers to 00000000.

I remember seeing a BBC story recently about a guy who lived at another, similar address in London (it was 10 Downing Lane or something like that) who kept getting letters from citizens addressed to the Prime Minister - so sometimes even the Royal Mail forgets 10 Downing Street's address! Edit: Looked it up - it was 10 Danbury Street, in N1. Apparently, poor penmanship was to blame.

@Christian Burns The presidents salary before benefits is the 2nd highest tax bracket. After benefits it is the highest. Yes, we are talking about the super rich here and coming at it positively or negatively won't impact your ability to be struck by lightning.

@Christian Burns Yes, I kinda of agree, it's impossible to everyone to get rich, so sometimes you should just work hard and at least try to get enough to have a confortable life, but alot of the times people don't even get the opportunities to make a high-paying job, even if they work really hard. People should try and do their best, but we all shoul have in mind that sometimes hard work isn't enough, sometimes we need luck.
