JimLur -- during the campaign, Trump said he "would not take" the salary, which would have saved the Treasury the $400,000 per year

now he says he'll take it and then donate it to charity (his own foundation, probably?) -- Treasury out the $400,000 per year -- yet another Trump bait and switch

all while (so far, at least) running up travel costs per year at something like six times the rate of c. $12 million per year in travel costs that the Obamas totaled through Barack's eight years -- and then, in addition, there's the continuing cost of providing security at Trump Tower, which cost New York City $24 million just for the period between election day and Trump's inauguration ( http://fortune.com/2017/02/22/trump-tower-security-costs-taxpayer/ ), and will continue to cost New York City between $50 million and $60 million per year so long as Melania and Barron remain there ( http://fortune.com/2017/02/22/trump-tower-security-costs-taxpayer/ ), the higher number if Donald starts spending his weekends there rather than costing the Treasury the about $3 million per weekend it costs for his weekends at Mar-a-Lago -- and then there are the further security and travel costs for Ivanka and his older sons and their security details as they travel around doing Trump business -- the Secret Service recently asked for an additional $60 million per year to protect the Trumps, a request Trump has refused ( https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/secret-service-asked-for-60-million-extra-for-trump-era-travel-and-protection-documents-show/2017/03/22/0967e7b6-0a85-11e7-a15f-a58d4a988474_story.html , http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/03/trump-lifestyle-secret-service )

JimLur, I saw that too, but what about the other 10 promises?

Considering that Trumpy LIES most of the time....

then how can anyone be sure he'll ever accomplish anything he promises ??
