Annual Salaries of Top US Government Officials

Traditionally, government service has embodied a spirit of serving the American people with a degree of volunteerism. Indeed, the salaries these top government officials tend to be lower than those for private-sector executives in similar positions.

Executive Branch

President of the United States

2021: $400,000

2000: $200,000

The president's salary was increased from $200,000 to $400,000 in 2001. The president's current salary of $400,000 has an additional $50,000 expense allowance. As commander in chief of the world’s most modern and expensive military, the president is considered the most powerful political figure in the world. Having control of a number of nuclear weapons second only to that of Russia, the president is also responsible for the health of the world’s largest economy and the development and application of U.S. domestic and foreign policy.

The salary of the president of the United States is set by Congress, and as required by Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution, may not be changed during the president’s term in office. There is no mechanism to automatically adjust the president's salary; Since legislation enacted in 1949, the president also gets a non-taxable $50,000 annual expense account for official purposes. Since the enactment of the Former Presidents Act of 1958, former presidents have received a lifetime annual pension and other benefits including staff and office allowances, travel expenses, Secret Service protection and more.

Can Presidents Refuse the Salary? No!

Over the years, however, some presidents who were independently wealthy when elected have chosen to reject their salaries.

When he took office in 2017, 45th President Donald Trump joined first President George Washington in vowing not to accept the presidential salary. However, neither of them could actually do that.

Article II of the Constitution—through its use of the word “shall”—requires that the president must be paid:

"The President shall, at stated times, receive for his services, a compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that period any other emolument from the United States, or any of them."

Trump Keeps Promise to Donate Salary

As an alternative, President Trump agreed to keep $1 of his salary. Since then, he has carried through on his campaign promise by donating his $100,000 quarterly salary payments to various federal agencies, including the National Parks Service and Department of Education.Trump is the first president since John F. Kennedy to donate his salary.

During his four years in office, President Trump donated at least $1.4 million of the $1.6 million he earned as president to various federal agencies.

In 2017, President Trump gave:

$78,333 to the Department of Interior’s National Park Service (NPS) for maintenance backlog at historic battlefields. Specifically, the donation went to restore the Newcomer House on the Antietam battlefield and for the replacement of its deteriorated rail fencing.

$100,000 to the Department of Education to host a free, two-week space camp for 30 low-income, middle school girls.

$100,000 to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for “the planning and design of a large-scale public awareness campaign about the dangers of opioid addiction.”

$100,000 to the Department of Transportation to support its programs to “rebuild and modernize our crumbling infrastructure.”

In 2018, President Trump gave:

$100,000 to the Veteran’s Administration for “caregiver support in the form of mental health and peer support programs, financial aid, education training, and research.”

$100,000 to the Small Business Administration earmarked for a seven-month training program tailored for veteran entrepreneurs.

$100,000 to the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

$100,000 to the Department of Homeland Security.

In 2019, President Trump gave:

$100,000 to the U.S. Department of Agriculture for “outreach programs that benefit farmers.”

$100,000 to the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the Surgeon General.

$100,000 to the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health to “the ongoing fight against the opioid crisis.”

$100,000 to HHS, Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health to “confront, contain, and combat Coronavirus.”

In 2020, President Trump gave:

$100,000 to HHS to “develop new therapies for treating and preventing COVID-19 so that we can safely reopen.”

$100,000 to the NPS in July 2020 to help pay for repairs on national monuments.

The recipients of the President's third and fourth quarter 2020 donations remain in question..

War Crime Documents Surface Of Red Cross Black Market Child Organ Harvesting In Ukraine, Azov Implicated [VIDEO]

"…the Red Cross was interested in children not for the treatment of diseases, but for the extraction of organs."

BY GREGORY HOYT

JUNE 10, 2022

Questions are circling over whether the Ukrainian Red Cross Society has been engaged in what reports have referred to as “shady activities” that suggest the harvesting of children’s organs.

In a report from Sputnik News in late May, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation announced their intention to study video footage from the Red Cross base in Mariupol, Ukraine, where medical files containing references to children with “healthy organs” were discovered.

A statement from the investigative committee read, “Investigators of the Investigative Committee of Russia, within the framework of the criminal cases already being investigated in the department about the crimes of the Kiev regime, will study the specified information and give it a criminal legal assessment.”

Apparently, Vladimir Taranenko, who leads the Donetsk-based “Peoples Retinue,” which consists of volunteers who purportedly have a goal of assisting law enforcement in the Donetsk People’s Republic, is the original source of the claim that suggested the Red Cross was engaged in some suspicious activity.

Taranenko had posted a video of what he asserted was a search of the Red Cross office in Mariupol on social media where these suspicious materials mentioning children with “healthy organs” were found, as well as documents mentioning “how to use weapons, including in a format intended for children.”

According to the Strategic Culture Foundation, which Wikipedia describes as “a Russian think tank…regarded as an arm of Russian state interests by the United States government,” a June 8th report from the entity dubbed “Ukraine – black market of transplantology” went into the recent allegations against the Red Cross while referencing some of the respective region’s history regarding said activities.

“While there is no official conclusion, experts, and just not indifferent people, express their versions and offer to recall the events of the recent past. So, a historian and political scientist, Anton Bredikhin, recalled that the territory of Donbass controlled by Kiev was until recently a link in the chain that closed in Kosovo.

“And in the ‘chain’ they are engaged in trafficking in human organs. Therefore, Bredikhin does not exclude that in Mariupol ‘appropriate measures could be taken and children could be prepared for further removal of their organs.’ Of course, with the preliminary murder of the ‘donor.’”

The Strategic Culture Foundation report continued from there, mentioning that “in 2018, when on May 17, the Verkhovna Rada adopted Law No. 2427-VIII ‘On the use of transplantation of human anatomical materials’. Even then, it was said that Ukraine was being turned into a black market for transplantology, but Ukraine jumped around and didn’t notice anything.”

In a “fact check” featured in Polygraph, it was alleged that these claims of potential organ harvesting in Ukraine are “misleading,” asserting that the discovered “records cited as evidence, even if authentic, could well be kept for legitimate reasons,” while also featuring claims from the International Committee of the Red Cross that such accusations were untrue.

Notes from video on Ukraine. Jeff the writer found the Russian video released after their raid on Red Cross (and had it translated) and the documents the Russians found.

The US has been using Ukraine since the fall of the Berlin wall, basically as a crime syndicate. Its all about the money and the CIA. They have been using the Nazis since 1945 and they have been using. Using it from Money laundering, child trafficking, baby farms, WMD bio laboratories, adult and child organ harvesting. Its not only the Mafia of Ukraine, but the mafia of Israel, and it includes Washington DC, all the way up to the President. The title of the (Russian?) article is “The West is rearing up because they are afraid of publicity”. He found evidence going back to at least 2016, confirming all the crimes on Yandex.

Ukraine passed a law in 2017-18 passed a law to supposedly make it harder to organ harvesting. They wrote in the law outrageously, organ harvesting could happen by signing up the person online, no checks and balances and extensive process, and it said they could come from orphanages, hospitals, prison etc. They no longer needed to get next of kin approval, because they were “assuming” the relatives were dead.

The Russians found at Red Cross massive files on children (and adults), but their records were not about helping them with medicine but the records only reflected the health of their organs.

Right After the Russians entered in Ukraine,teams of Israeli doctorslanded in Romania, next to Moldavia on the border of Ukraine and entered in Ukraine to “supposedly doing charitable work” (the guy laughs as because it’s so ridiculous). In fact an investigation revealed they were there to do organ harvesting.

In order to organ harvest they have to open the belly, and from tge article “gutted corpses were found in mass graves”

The doctors (all doctors in Ukraine) produce fake certificates for organ harvesting. The writer mentions this quote from Thomas Dunning on capitalism.

Thomas Joseph Dunning has a well-known statement about the essence of capitalism [7]quoted by Karl Marx in Capital [8] and therefore is often mistakenly attributed to him:

“ Capital ,” says the Quarterly Review”

“Capital is said by this reviewer to fly turbulence and strife, and to be timid, which is very true; but this is very incompletely stating the question. Capital eschews no profit, or very small profit, just as Nature was formerly said to abhor a vacuum. With adequate profit, capital is very bold. A certain 10 per cent. will ensure its employment anywhere; 20 per cent. certain will produce eagerness; 50 per cent.,Positive audacity; 100 per cent. will make it ready to trample on all human laws; 300 per cent., And there is not a crime at which it will scruple, nor a risk it will not run, even to the chance of its owner being hanged. If turbulence and strife will bring a profit, it will freely encourage both. Smuggling and the slave-trade have amply proved all that is here stated”

The articles back to 2016 (really since 2014). I’m sure that is why Obama with US DOS implemented the coup in Ukraine for the money, money, money! That’s why Obama entered the WH with a net worth of about a million dollars and left the WH with a net worth of $20 million

How Much Is Barack Obama Worth?

By Andrew Lisa May 20, 2022

Celebrity Net Worth reported the former president’s net worth as $70 million. According to an estimate by Analytics@American, American University’s business analytics program, however, Barack and Michelle Obama could make as much as $242.5 million post-presidency.

Net worth: $70 million

Obama has an estimated net worth of $70 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, in part due to earning $400,000 a year throughout his entire eight-year term as president of the United States. On April 15, 2016, Obama released his 2015 tax returns, which showed that the former president and Michelle Obama filed jointly and reported an adjusted gross income of $436,065. They paid $81,472 in taxes according to their 18.7% tax rate. They also donated a total of $64,066 to more than 30 charities. (See how that works, contribute to charities and charities pay it back 10 to a 100 fold)
